Does anybody here use a midwest cage if so please give me a review on it i was thing about buying one for my piggies
 
I do! There are pros and cons. They can only hold 1-2 pigs and unless a vet tells you so you should always have two. The cage is pretty easy to clean which is nice but they aren't the most "sturdy" cages. I've had to zip tie some of the grids and doors together in order to secure the cage. The best thing about the cage is the price. They are so cheap (at least if your in the US) I believe they are 20-35 US dollars and are super easy to set up. Overall this cage is a good budget option and if you want to give your piggies a little more space you can get the "plus version" or add a second level.
I'll include a picture of the cage with my pigs below but I have changed my cage a lot since i've taken this picture and added grids on the top.

Hope I helped xx

Thank you thats so helpful your piggies are adorable
 
I have that cage and I love it. I do agree that it isn't the most sturdy cage out there, but it suits my needs nicely. It is really easy to clean as well. I ended up getting the optional lid because my pig kept jumping out. :lol!:

Hehe I put some grids on the top because one of my pigs tried to escape :)))
 
I had one and then extended to 2 as one wasn’t really big enough for my 2 boars. You can put 2 together easily in different shapes. I find it easy to clean and great to move around and travel with. I have the lid but never need to use it. Would highly recommend.

I used to have two for my boar pair. You've already heard all the cons I know of, but the Midwest travels really well. The sides fold down flat and the inner does too, I travelled from Brighton to Wigan on the train with the cages in a bag. They're really easy to setup, easy to clean, and my two weren't climbers so I didn't have any worry of them trying to escape - thankfully, as they gave me enough grey hairs as it was.
This is a photo of the cage in one of several iterations. It got moved around a quare bit for various reasons.DSC_0502.webp
