It is bigger than it looks and we really like it. When I first got it my little girl could excape from the cage but now shes bigger and can't. It arrived with one broken shelf and no casters, but they quickly replaced the shelf and sent casters. I really love ferret.com, best prices and great customer service.

When I first bought this cage I thought I would love it... it was pretty easy to put together and it was so much bigger then what I expected. When I got the cage the bottom plastic piece was cracked but nothing a little tape wouldn't fix... then I found out that between the two cage pieces the bars are wider apart then the rest of the bars and my ferrets can fit through the bars and get out of there cage so I had to rig it so that they couldn't get out... then one of the wheels broke so I had to go buy a new wheel for it... also the cage doesn't come with enough flooring pieces to make a nice design for the ferrets... I can deal with this cage but I don't like it... It really shouldn't cost $120 bucks, should be more like $50 or $60 bucks.

Very happy -arrived in a timely manner,no broken parts ( I'm thinking they read past reviews and changed the bottom to a more durable ,less shatter proof plastic.I put it together myself with hardly any cuss words-one word of advice- clip the ramps on the levels first,it's very hard to get them on when the floors are in.

Not a very good cage

I really don't like this cage at all and neither have any of the 3 ferrets I've tried this cage with. The materials are really cheap and the plastic platforms are so noisy when a ferret walks on them its horribe. My parents who are a floor below me in our house can hear whenever my ferret moves around in the cage since the platforms are such a terrible material. Overall, this cage is pretty horrible and I would definitely not recommend it. It's the least ferret friendly cage I've come across, and I've been a ferret owner for the past 6 years. The size is nice, but that's about all it has going for it.

Buyer Beware

I purchased a new cage for my 2 ferrets in March 2010. I researched the entire site - reading review after review. I felt as though the "Marshall Townhouse" would be perfect. The perfect height, width and brand. I've only heard good things about Marshall products, so I was looking forward to their new cage. Buyers beware. The cage arrived in a timely manner, so no issues there. We were in the process of buying our new home - so I waited a week to open the box. At this time we were in the middle of moving all our things in, so it was imparitive to set the cage up as quickly as possible. I opened the box - and the base corners were broken. 2 SIDES! These weren't just little holes either - they could easily fit through whenever they wanted. As I said - we really had no time, so I sucked up the fact, taped up the corners and proceeded to put the cage together. It doesn't even go together right. The metal snaps to keep it in place just hang there, they don't snap tight. Both my ferets were used to 2 solid floors. This only has enough shelves to make 1/2 floor and levels to get to the bottom. It includes the platforms for the ferets to climb down to the bottom or up a level if you choose - but no clasps to attach them. So now, they are too scared to drop down to the next level, so they go to the bathroom on their main level. I've made every effort for the distance between levels to be as close as possible, but they're rounded - so it's hard. It has been absolutely disgusting. Every few days or so I find my little guy (junior) outside the cage. I have no idea how he gets out but he does. I've checked and rechecked thinking maybe the tape was bitten through ... but no. So it came broke, misssing parts, and doesn't securely keep them in. I wish I checked the box earlier, and gave myself more time to send it back if needed. Now I've spent $130 on something that I absolutely hate. This is the worst product I've ever bought.

I live in NY and had my order within 2 days which was great! however the base was cracked and it was missing 8 out of 16 clips. I called customer service and they were wonderful, to my dismay it sounds like it will take me much longer to get the missing parts then it was to receive my first order. (the size is great though!)

The only complaint I have about this cage is the fact that the way they pack the bottom in the box leaves it vulnerable for damage. When I opened my box there were several cracks and pieces missing from the bottom half. I have emailed ferret.com and I am still waiting for a reply but from what I've read on here this is kind of common and they are good about fixing it. However, I put tape over the holes until I can get it replaced and my ferrets LOVE it. I have two ferrets, luna and elle and they both play in it all day. I also bought them a pink fuzzy hammock that hangs from the top that they can both crawl in and curl up. I am very satisfied with the overall product and price of this cage!!!

Like the other reviews, the base came broken. I really expected that it was going to be broken from all the reviews. However, for the square footage, you get the bang for you buck. The shelves seem a little flimsy, but my little girl is less then 2 lbs right now. While I was waiting for the new base, I put a tarp on the floor, and set the cage on the tarp to protect the carpet. The doors are set so you can "lock" them in place to secure you babies without worry. All in all, if I had it to do over, I would still purchase this cage.

Arrived Today 11/18/2009

My cage arrived today, and like many others, the base was broken. I called and they are sending a replacement base, but I need it now, so I taped it together which looks kind of tacky but works. The reason I received was because of the weather, and that is why the bases are breaking, but it is not that. It is because of the way they are packed. All of the heavy metal cage is packed inside the base and if the box is moved roughly in any way, the base doesn't stand a chance of surviving shipping.
Overall, I love the cage size and look though. My two ferrets are rescues from a hoarder, and may have never experienced anything like it, so they are really doing some exploring. Other than the shipping/packing, I am happy with it. I love ferret.com though because they are awesome to work with and the prices are phenomenal. I would recommend it, just be prepared to replace the base.
