FAQs
What animals is this cage suitable for?
This cage is ideal for rabbits and similar-sized small rodents like guinea pigs due to its spacious dimensions and 2cm bar spacing.
Does the cage come with a water bottle or food bowl?
No, the cage only comes with an integrated hayrack. A water bottle and food bowl would need to be purchased separately.
How do I assemble the cage?
Assembly typically involves securing the wire panels to the plastic base and attaching the top section. Detailed instructions are usually included with the product. Ensure all clips are firmly fastened for stability.
Is the base deep enough to prevent bedding from spilling out?
Yes, the cage features a deep 16cm base, which is designed to effectively contain most bedding and litter, minimizing mess around the cage.
Can this cage be used outdoors?
While it can be used in a secure, sheltered outdoor area, it's primarily designed for indoor use. If used outdoors, ensure it's protected from direct sunlight, extreme weather, and predators. It is not designed to be weatherproof on its own.
What are the full dimensions of the cage?
The cage measures H:47 x W:140 x D:69 cm. The base depth is 16cm, and the bar spacing is 2cm.
Troubleshooting
Cage feels unstable after assembly
Ensure all connecting clips and latches are fully engaged and secured. Double-check that all panels are seated correctly into the base. Gently rock the cage to identify any loose points and reinforce them.
Pet is attempting to escape through bars
The 2cm bar spacing is suitable for adult rabbits. If your pet is very small or juvenile, consider adding a secondary mesh barrier (e.g., hardware cloth) around the lower perimeter of the cage temporarily, or ensure the cage is appropriate for the pet's size. Supervise closely.
Hayrack frequently falls off or tips over
Ensure the hayrack is correctly clipped or mounted according to the assembly instructions. Overfilling it or placing excessively heavy hay bundles can cause instability. Distribute hay evenly.
Difficulty cleaning the base
For easier cleaning, remove the top wire section from the base. This provides unobstructed access to wipe down the deep 16cm base. Use a flexible brush or scraper for dried-on debris before wiping with a damp cloth.
