TIAKI Critter Empire Small Pet Cage

Just brought my rats home and into my excitement didn't realize just how large the space was. Now here we are desperately trying to get a new cage solution while my two rats fit their head through the bars.

After half a year, my degus chewed up the plastic parts and gnawed through the bottom section. I find this cage unsuitable in this setup. There aren’t even any alternative accessories to improve it.

We bought a cage for our rodents to give them more space. After a week, they chewed through the plastic base and are now running around the flat.

Very nice, but the plastic bottom always falls onto the ground. This is a shame, as my animals run off like this, so they really need to do something about these problems.

I absolutely cannot recommend this cage for rats. Young and even younger adult rats are constantly escaping because the bar spacing is way too wide. We had to add an extra protective mesh afterwards because it was just too dangerous. The quality of the plastic ramps is extremely poor: the attachments are far too flimsy. One ramp was chewed through on the very first evening, and the other broke straight away during assembly. A complete waste of money!

The cage arrived with the doors bent (we had to force them to close). Also, it’s not suitable at all for rats, as they slip right through the bars.
