107 reviews forTIAKI Villa Small Pet Cage

I really like this cage—the quality is excellent—but I bought it for my small female rats, and it turned out to be unsuitable because the bar spacing is too wide; they managed to get out of the cage in just two minutes. Unfortunately, I didn’t read the reviews before ordering, but many other people have complained about this exact issue. This cage is advertised as being suitable for rats, but unfortunately, that is not the case. I really wish the bar spacing on this cage were no more than 1.5 cen

The cage comes with really great, high-quality platforms and ramps, but I wouldn’t recommend it for baby rats (about 1–3 months old) because the little ones can still fit through the bars and escape!!! My solution was to attach a rabbit wire fence on the outside with cable ties. So, if you have small baby rats and don’t want to bother with the extra fencing, then maybe this isn’t the right cage for you 🙏🏻🙏🏻

There was always only Perfect in my life and never any complaints. Now this is my first tiaki and, firstly, the holes in one part of the metal frame were cut wrong, so I had to use a hammer to bend the other part of the cage just to put it together at all. Perfect never had this issue. Secondly, instead of packing each shelf in a regular plastic bag, I recommend using bubble wrap or more styrofoam, because one of my shelves has broken clips for the cage, and the other shelf has a broken clip for the ladder :(

The cage is nice and spacious. It also comes with a water bottle and a food bowl. The bars are too far apart. Not even two minutes after our rats moved in, the first one made a run for it. I made the cage escape-proof by attaching wire mesh to the outside.

Fairly pleasant to assemble – my main complaint is about the packaging, as the parts arrived slightly bent. The assembly instructions are readable, but not very user-friendly (a bit chaotic). The cage itself is stable and heavy. The wheels move smoothly. My rats, who are over six months old, can’t escape – at most, they can just poke their noses out a little. A downside is that you can’t really add bedding, as most of it falls out, but it’s easy to fix this yourself.

Honestly, really good—spacious and made of quality material. In this case, it's for my ferret. I ordered from the Canary Islands since cages here are impossible to find, and this one is just great. The only thing is, it took me a while at first to figure out how to assemble it, but after a bit, no problem at all.
