Plaza 160 Small Pet Cage | Great Bargains on Cages at zooplus

Does anybody have this cage please? I saw a thread from a few years ago suggesting it may not be great quality; does anybody have any first hand experience?

I was planning to DIY cages, but these would fit the space perfectly and the price seems reasonable (£90) considering how much I would have to spend on materials (and time!). I can't have a C&C as we have cats. Each cage would be for a pair of boars (currently in the ferplast 120) and I may also consider it for my netherland dwarf bunny who is currently in a converted dog cage (albeit a huge one).

Many thanks
 
I have the 140 plaza and love it (only got it a week ago). I think the base definitely seems sturdier than the one piece bases from ferplast i've had before
 
I've got the 160 plaza and its great. Its huge. I use the add on bit at the end for hay too, they love it. Can't fault the quality, once its put together its great. Its a bit unwieldy because its so big but when the top is on its very sturdy. Its easy to clean and access is good. The water bottle is useless as usual. The add on bit at the end makes a ridge and then 2 bits stick up at either side to take the bars if you want to use it separate, I just put a fleece pad over that bit or vet bed and it doesn't cause any problems.
 
A great guinea pig cage but waaay too small to shut a rabbit into. They need a six foot by two foot cage with permanent access to a six foot by eight foot run.

It looks nice, haven't got one but size sounds good.

Under supervision! My lot have recently been having garden space under supervision. The binkies!

He gets up some serious speed doing laps of the living room - so great to see him leap in the air and change direction - but he does have a tendancy to chew furniture and dig in my plant pots! His previous situation was far from ideal - outside and shut in a small cage - so I think he is just happy to have a better life at the moment...definitely still room for improvement but I'm working on it with a new cage and permanent access to an outside run etc. which I'm sure he will love! :)
 
A quick update - the 160 cages have arrived! My original two piggies have moved in and are very happy with their new house...lots of popcorning! I like the fact that the hay can all be kept at one end in the smaller 'annex' - the water bottle is here too so it is much easier to keep the cage clean as this small area can be cleaned out separately as and when it's needed...they seem to be keeping the larger area of the cage much tidier! My other single piggy is due to go for bonding some time soon so I will wait until his new friend arrives before moving them into their larger cage together :)
