— Sarah

"Sometimes we find two ferrets sleeping in the cube together. Our ferrets love feeling cozy and warm and this cube fits. We bought two."

— Jessica

"This is easily the worst hanging cube box I have ever purchased in my life. I will be tossing it and buying a different brand. There's no support. Just one rat thats two months old goes in it and the whole thing caves and sinks in. Also the clips are made so it can only stick directly to the top bar..."
