zoozone 2 cages

I use zoozones for hamsters, they are not suitable for guinea pigs due to size and lack of ventilation

Minimum size of cage for a pair is 120cm something like a skyline maxi xxl or ferplast 120 is fine for guienea pigs

There are a few reasons why i would not recomend this cage

firstly, its tank style, which means amonia builds up fast in the air that they breath causing all sorts of problems.

Secondly, its only 100cms long so too small for a pair of piggies. :) /

I used mine as a hospital cage when the vet said less movement was better so I don't think it is great for a permament home.

Althought to be fair I have the Zoozone 1 and I don't know how big a "2" is

I use the zoozone 1 for my syrian hamsters.

I will go and have a look at those you just mentioned. Cheers!

(and as piggies shouldnt be kept alone, that rules this cage out. :))
 
The skyline and ferplast yes

If you want to stack them id say go for the ferplast as they have large side doors, the skyline only has a small one
 
My syrian hamster is in a Zoozone 1.

I use to use it for a travel cage for Monty a past guinea when we went on holiday as it fits well in the back of the car and leaves space for me too.

Way too small for guineas but was fine for Monty a small elderly guinea for car travel. Wilfred hamster has settled in well and seems to like it:)

Thanks. I have now decided to get two of those and have them stacked on top of each other, so at least they won't take up much more space in the living room! I wasn't sure whether my hubbie would go for it but surprisingly he said it was up to me, he was just concerned about spending more money on the piggies. I've seen one on Ebay and it's £49.95 and free postage, is that a good price? Would I find a better price anywhere else?
 
If it is the Skyline maxi you have decided to get they are only £39.90 on zooplus with free postage. They can be fitted side by side and they have a large top opening as well as a side opening although one of these is suitable for 2 pigs.

That's a great price for ferplast!
 
That's a good price for a Ferplast 120 - double check the measurements though, don't just go by the picture as it may be a 100 and not suitable for a pair. Also check it is the current design that hinges at the front of the cage - not set back about 4" on the top, as you can't stack this older design. The front opening is also split into two sections (the 100 only has one).

The other stackable cage is the Savic Nero 4 - the door is smaller than the fully opening front that the Ferplast has but is big enough to get full sized dustpan through for cleaning out.

I would use a Savic Nero 4 with a stand as the bottom cage, as they are more stable for stacking, and a Ferplast 120 above (good access when you're not very tall). The space under the Savic can be used to store all the piggies' bits and pieces.

Just had a nose on ebay and it is indeed a 120 for that price. They have 10 left. Bargain!

Thanks Suzy! Can I get a Savic Nero 4 and stand for the same price? I don't want to have to spend any more money than the cost of the two Ferplast 120 cages. I think my hubbie would have a heart attack if I did ;) Will the Ferplast 120 be stable enough underneath another one?
 
You'd have to do a search to find the prices of Savics, I don't know the latest deals.

If you go for the Ferplasts I would use a strengthening beam across the lower cage front to support the top - a length of timber or metal rod that spans the cage (I've used long broom handles in the past, very effective).

Thanks everyone for their replies. I've had a look about at the Savic Nero 4 but that seems to be a bit more expensive and I can't justify spending that much so I am going for the two Ferplast 120 cages. Do they come flat packed? The last time I bought a cage online, a hamster cage, it came flat packed and it was a nightmare to put together as the instructions were terrible.
 
My ferplast 140 came flat packed but it was really easy to do its literally fold and put the corner plastic connectors on then put into the base .... ta **!

Is it the grey ferplast 120 on ebay for £49.99? I bought one a couple of weeks ago and it came next day, its great. I really like it tho it didnt come with the platform house thing but it does come with a bottle and hay rack.

I have other ferp 120's but like someone says previously it helps to stick a length of wood through the front of the cage for support if you want to stack (you could pick up a scrap bit from b&q for less than £1) its just a case of sliding it through the bar at the front running the length of the cage and the jobs done :) I love ferplast. I have tried many (skyline/savic/pennine/essegi) others but keep coming back to my ferplasts because the quality is just ace. I love the complete front opening because its so simple to clean. theres no need to remove the top.

Yes it is that one.

The cage we have at the moment is a Ferplast but don't know which one but it's a lot smaller. It's got a raised top.
 
i used to have a ferplast 120 and the way they open at the front is great for access.

The actualy cage part for the top will come in pieces packed inside the plastic base but they just clip together, really easy ;)

Hope so. My hubbie isn't known for his patience when it comes to putting these things together :))
