A quick remeasure this morning suggests that this will just fit where i need it to, with a cm clearance! So i think this is big enough for 2? Does anyone have this. Its slightly narrower than some of the other 120s, which is what i need but i just wondered if its an ok cage before i order. I know its cheap and you tend to get what you pay for, but I'm hoping that its not too bad quality for £43

Thanks
 
I have two of them and I think they're both fab and I've never had any problems with them :) I also have a pair of males in both of them and no fighting problems etc
 
Fab, thank you! I'm excited about having them inside! I'd ideally like to wait til next month to order (just been on holiday so broke broke broke) but have no idea how long zoo plus are likely to keep that price for....does anyone know if they change prices often? Its 20% off at the moment!
 
I imagine it'll be for a while (but then saying that I dont want to say and you wait) I paid about 39.99 for my two cages when they were on offer. It wasn't on offer the other day I'll have to let my mum know ;)
 
£43.99 at the moment, and an extra 5% off the first order. I'm thinking i might have to scrape together the money. And it comes with a corner litter tray, bowl, water bottle and hay!
 
I bought one on recommendation from the RSPCA Walsall when I adopted Nerys and Nia from them. It still comes in handy occasionally.
 
I have one! I originally had a ferplast 100, and then found out it was too small, and ended up buying the skyline xxl about a fortnight after buying the ferplast 100 as I felt terrible for not knowing (I'd even done research before, and sites seemed to say 100cm was fine for two boy rolleyes). In my opinion, the ferplast is better quality-bars seem thicker and stronger, overall it seems more sturdy, and for cleaning the way the ferplast opens up, cleaning is easier. However, the ferplast does have an annoying criss cross pattern on the base which destroys kitchen towel and is harder to scrub. I would definitely suggest lining it with a nappy changing mat (can be bought in the poundshop!), or lino to aid in keeping it clean. The skyline is good value, but if I had the choice again I'd have gone for a ferplast 120...I just didn't have the cash at the time.
 
Nigel is in a Skyline and it's great. He's a lone pig so has loads of room. His previous owner attached a hayloft and ramp too which has given him even more space. We took the top of the cage off too it is more like a C&C and it is easier to get to him.
