hi there...i'm getting a mini lop, and was wondering if the standard would be ok as a night time cage?

Personally I think this would be fine for a nighttime cage, provided that your bunny will have lots of free time to hop/play during the day. This is great to contain a bunny, it just won't give them any room to exercise and play.

We have a guinea pig in their own standard and one in a large one. they have a pretty good area to play. We take them out during the day for floor time for exercise and play. We love the habitats for our little guys.

We had a mini lop and I feel personally that it would be a little to small. We have the large size cage for the rabbit we have now and she is comfortable

I think so! There's the platform that we put a grass mat on for our guy or the area under the platform is a safe hidey-hole. So plenty of places to sleep (of course my little guy's up all night LOL).

Hi! In my opinion for only a $13.00 difference I would go with the large. This is what I got for my teddy bear hamster. I wanted her to have a lot of room to run around and play. I think you will be happier with going a little bigger. :)

It is a nice cage if you make some modifications for dwarf hamsters. The wiring is close enough to prevent my Russian dwarf from escaping, but you will need to replace the hamster wheel with a solid wheel. I also removed the wire bottom and replaced it with bedding because her tiny feet slipped through and I backed the ladder with cardboard.

I would only put them 2-3 hours a day and otherwise in a big room. Our bunnies love all the space they can get. This little cages is not good for them.Since they need so much movement and agility

If your going to have a litter box in the cage id say no. I have a holland lop and it was too small for him im not sure how much he weighes... but if you're not putting anything else but a food bowl and water it should be okay.

It is a great cage. My sugar glider was very young and small when I purchased this cage. It took her less than 8hours to figure out she could slide out between some of the bars. I loved this cage and it really fit my needs, so I just went to Lowes and purchased some mesh to wrap around it, now she can't escape.

If I were you, I would absolutely go for the larger cage. They need a bit of room to stand up and move around ( as you know), and the extra $50 would make your "baby" so much more comfortable!

Big enough for sleeping quarters and occasional "boarding" of a pair, with room for a small "house" on each end. But I've realized only recently that as a boy I lost so many hamsters, gerbils, and GP's because of keeping them in overly small enclosures. This cage is not large enough to allow a GP to exercise or to roam, explore, discover--and it could be disastrous for an incompatible pair. I use it for a single GP. If I had 2, I'd be looking for more spacious accommodations.

I only have one parakeet and it works well for him, so i'm not sure how comfortable it would be for 2. I use it now for his night time cage. The one thing I don't like about it, is that is doesn't have a nice big door. I bought another one with a big door for his daytime cage. I like it much better. It was from the same manufacturer and is priced comparably. Hope this helps. =D

I think it would be tight quarters. I have a single silkie chicken in ours (she was being bullied). She is okay to be in there during the day without being let out, but I'm not comfortable with it every single day. When we get her a friend, they will fit fine for sleeping and the occasional day or two that they don't get out, but they will need out most every day. There would be no room for a single bunny to really run and do happy jumps/kicks in this one, but it would be okay for night/occasional day I think. You'd definitely want to use some hardware cloth on the underside or something so they can't dig out. The bottom is not covered. I think it would be tight quarters.

No for a large cage it should be just enough, it gets pretty warm during the day but at nighttime it'd be great especially during the cold.

Hi, no. It is pretty basic. I wouldnt feel safe at night in it for those purposes.

Imo, it's definitely worth it! I have 3 of them...one for each Degu and they have plenty of room. The cage is sturdy and easy to clean. You can also take out the bottom grill part so they're just walking on the bedding. Hope this helps with your decision.

I have two of these habitats. I bought the ones with wire tops but my guinea pigs aren't able to get out even when the tops are open. (most of the time) I really only close them when my outdoor cat comes in for a visit. These cages are great for my needs. You need to have a table to put them on, as they only have a canvas bottom. I use fleece for the bedding with a hospital chuck (also found on Amazon) under the fleece. They are easy to clean and the pigs seem to be very happy. Don't worry about escapes. They can't.

Seems like it'd be okay for two little parakeets (not English budgies), but I would switch out the plastic perch and add two smaller ones. The perch is too big and has no traction. Two weeks seems like a long time to keep them in this cage for hours on end. If the nighttime cage is bigger, I would try and use it as much as possible on the trip. My green cheek does well in this cage for a day trip, but the minute I get to my destination, I put him in my bigger, less portable "birdie hotel/nighttime" cage.

I have two of the medium "crates" (more like taj ma hall compared to others) for my mini-Schnauzers. They are both in the 19 - 20 pound range and they have plenty of room. Add a pad and a blanket and they will be very content. This is the best way to safely pen your pet and be able to have it look like it belongs. Not your ugly wire crate where they risk catching their paw in the grid pattern.

There are several types available, and it depends on how hot you want cage to be. Need to go to Petsmart (or similar outlet for pets) and consult with personnel there.

It's all about how big/heavy the hood is. The tent is not the *most* strong, but has held up well, for me. As long as you don't get a monster-sized hood, you should be fine. I have 4 x 600w lights (close together) in mine, which works great, but (as with any enclosed garden) an exhaust fan is essential to keep the air cool and fresh. *Also, to update my original review: The tent is NOT waterproof (I found out the hard way!). The seams need to be caulked on the bottom to keep water from running right through. Likewise, the seams are NOT light-proof. I recommend that you tape any seams you don't use regularly.
