Ferplast Jenny Rat Cage With Accessories

The Jenny is a spacious cage designed for ratties, however I think its safe to say although your ratties will love it, YOU wont!!! The Jenny is a large, squareish cage that comes with a greenish or grey base, wire top with narrow bar spacing (1.4mm), two plastic shelves and two large tubes for your ratties to climb through. it is a fantastic size for a pair of rats, 80cmX50cmX80cm, although technically you could have up to four ratties in it. The shelves and tubes provided extra interest however thats just about where the good points of this cage end. Firstly, its very innaccessible. It has a large door on top but the doors in the sides are tiny, ...  Read the complete review

The Jenny cage is a very satisfactory starter cage at a not too extortionate price. It is fairly large (can comfortably house 5 pet rats at the most) and comes with some good quality accessories. The shelves are very durable and easy to move around as are the tubes which are a must for any rodent cage. The food dishes are very decent, chrome bowls with holders which fit easily onto the bars. I do feel that the water bottle provided is too large for rats but may be suitable for rabbits or ferrets. I never used my water bottles on either of my Jenny cages, I just bought my own smaller ones and dotted them around the cage. The problems with this cage become ...  Read the complete review

Positives: The ferplast Jenny cage is, in my opinion, a good cage for the price (price depends on where you purchase it, but I got mine for £80 about 6 months ago). The bars are well spaced (not suitable for smaller animals such as hamsters and gerbils which would be able to escape) and there are several access 'doors' - one large one of the top and a small one on both the front and back. The cage sits upon a relatively deep plastic base (easy to lift off) which is easy to clean, although the occupants of the cage will still invariably still manage to chuck food and poo out of it! Increasing the depth of the base slightly would help but I'm just nit ...  Read the complete review

The Jenny cage is in my opinion a very inconvenient cage for rats. The cage is large enough for several rats and has a nice deep base. It also comes with a number of good accessories and has bars spaced at about 1cm apart making it suitable for rats of all sizes however these are the only good points I can find with the cage. The cage structure is flimsy and easily bent out of shape when not attached to the base. Many Jenny cages also have uncoated bars making them difficult to clean and keep clean. There are two doors one on the roof which is difficult to access if the cage is raised off of the floor and another tiny door in the bottom right corner. This door is so ...  Read the complete review
