Ferplast 100 guinea pig and rabbit cage review

Maisie enjoying her new cage
Hi readers! So yesterday I bought Maisie a new cage and thought I would review it.
Here is the video review

This cage is much bigger than Maisie's old cage (the old cage is from 2009 and was a Ferplast rodents cage!) and now I have the newer version I can't believe that people used to think that it was fine for a rabbit, let alone a pair of guinea pigs.

The dimensions of the new cage are approximately: 95cm(L) by 57cm(W) by 46cm(H) which is perfect for a single or pair of guinea pigs or a small rabbit.

It comes in 4 colours: Pink, Blue, Burgundy and Grey. I have the blue one for Maisie.

It comes with: 1x Plastic hay rack, 1x Plastic food dish, 1x Plastic water bottle, A plastic house for your guinea pig to hide in and a big access door.

Also if you buy it in Pets at home it comes with: A trial bag of Back-2-Nature, A small bag of timothy hay(well it's called a small bale but it is not that big) and a sample bag of Pets at home guinea pig or rabbit nuggets (it depends what pet you have).

Price
In Pets at home at the moment it is £35 reduced from £65 which is a good price. There is also another one that is the same type but 120cm for £50 which is a better size for rabbits.

What I think of it
I think it is much better than the old cage and gives lots more space. Compared to lots of pet store cages it is much bigger and gives your guinea pig plenty of room to run around and play. If using it for a pair they will have space to get away from each other. The hay rack holds plenty of hay for a pair of guinea pigs. The water bottle holds lots of water and doesn't leak. The food dish holds plenty of food and is washable which is always helpful with guinea pigs! The house is a good size and comes out for easy cleaning and when you clean out your guinea pigs. The access door is the whole of the front which helps when trying to catch your guinea pigs and when you need to clean out. I will definitely buy another one for Bramble and Patches at some point.

I would definitely recommend this cage to a new guinea pig owner.
