Are the castors on this cage large enough to handle being rolled over carpeting? I have another brand of cage that the castors broke off on rugs.

They are big enough to go over carpet mine is on carpet but if your going to be rolling daily I do believe they will break they work for occational carpet movement that is prob all

I have no idea, but I love the cage. You would probably have to give them a flooring right? I think its a great cage for the price and have zero complaints. Very roomy and I like that it is wide.

We replaced all the castors with some really nice nylon ones that don't scratch our wood floor. They are also have a lot smoother operation. We purchased them from Rockler Woodworking (Rockler.com). You just have to make sure of the size and type of the posts that go into the chair. Don't remember how much they were, but not much.

The feet have wide metal flanges with rubber pads, and I think a big hole. You could probably easily attach or clamp a castor to them, but they are folding feet and any 3-legged thing can tip over if you push hard directly across the wheel axis. So, yes, but with reservations.

Sure, but the metal is quite rough on the bottom and it would no doubt scratch your floors! Plus you would lose the benefits of being MOBILE which is so much healthier, practical (and FUN!! - must see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yReDHvy9dWUThe castors don't roll very well, though. I ordered top-of-the-line ones (size M10 x 15mm) with a rubber tread for my linoleum floor and I'm lovin' it!

My V2Max stood on a thick Berber carpet with under carpeting. I had to carpet my whole private studio as I had converted the basement of my house. Some pretty big people jumped on that STOTT PILATES Cardio Tramp and it never budged the V2Max. So you should have no problem.

I think this cage is too large. I would get on that is not so tall and has a slide out cleaning tray.

the wheels are designed for hard floor and not for thick carpet. it will still roll on carpet with very short fibers or stiff backing but not easily.

If you buy this chair, make sure you also get some of those heavy duty extra large wheels to replace the ones that come with it...especially if you are going to be on carpet without a mat under the chair. I have hovered around 350 the entire time I've used this chair, and the chair itself has held up well...the wheels on the other hand are unhappy with me :P I have owned it a little over a year now.

I suppose it would be possible, but not likely. It would have to be a very aggressive, large cat to do this. I have a 10 lb. cat but she has never tried to even approach the cage. I feel this cage is sturdy and I, personally, have no problems with it. It will roll on tile but I have four, rubber chair pads under each roller to prevent this from happening.

It will roll over carpet easily if the carpet isn't too thick. The wheels on this cart do fall off quite often though - I'm thinking of putting some duct tape around the shaft of the wheels to keep them on better. I still really like this cart though and I use it all the time.

I think they will roll smoothly on 1/2" pile carpet, but I am running them on carpet that is not that thick. I installed them on a brand new Alera Elusion Series Mesh Mid-Back Swivel/Tilt Chair while I was assembling that chair. The casters are a huge improvement over the original smaller casters.

I have this chair and, no, the wheels are not appropriate for hardwood. I've been lazy about getting replacement castors and have been using the chair for several months and they're dulling the floor around the desk :-/

The size is 14 X 14. There are no castors, it item does not roll. It just sits on small round feet and I don't know if they could be removed.Hope this helps.

it is small and the bottom of the cage is wire, not flat, so it might hurt their feet and they might slip through it and get stuck. I used it for a ferret and realized shortly after buying it, it was too small and he became a free-range ferret, which was horrible for my carpet. oh well, he has a nice free life at least.

I think the wheel i got was called a silent spinner they're a bit pricy but they're safe for my rats and they're....SILENT! what a plus lol. Over all, this cage work great and both my rats live together more than comfortably in it, very spacious. There are a few kinks i had to work out. 1. It's made for birds, so the 4 doors on the front either have to be wired shut. Or you can bend the wires that allow it to slide up and down over the support wire to secure it, if you want i can send a pic of how we did it. 2. because it's made for birds, there is a slide out wire bottom which is bad for critter feet, so instead, we put the pan on top of the wire bottom. 3. The pan isn't deep and allows bedding to fall out. To minimize it, we used cheep trim from home depot to build a barrier and keep the bedding in, bit there are many ways to fix that issue. 4. They didn't include all of the levels in the first shipment, but when i contacted them they send the last level to me free of shipment charge and were very polite about handling the problem. Like i said over all, it is a great cage and for the price, ya can't beat it. I searched everywhere and most cages like this go for no less than 200. It's also very sturdy. I don't know exactly what you mean by economical, but i Hope this helped. If you have anymore questions, my email is tori.andrez2607@gmail.com and id be happy to help

We dont roll our around too much but when we do the wheels hold up fine. We keep ours in the master bedroom which is carpeted. The wheel seem to do fine with the carpet. They even have two wheels with locks on them to keep it from rolling around. I liked mine so much that I bought my fiance one and it has really helped our laundry hamper situation.
