Cage and habitat advice

Quick size guide

Photos can make cages and habitats look different from real life. Always check the full dimensions, usable floor area, bar spacing and intended use before ordering.

Before choosing

What to check

1. External size

Length, width and height of the full item.

2. Usable floor area

The actual space the pet can move around in.

3. Door access

Check doors are suitable for cleaning and safe handling.

4. Bar spacing

Bars must be safe for the species and pet size.

5. Use type

Main habitat, temporary use, sleeping area or add on.

6. Enrichment space

Room for hides, food, water, toys and exercise.

Species guidance

Choose by pet type

Rabbits

Most small cages are not suitable as the only full time living space. Rabbits need a much larger permanent area with daily exercise, hiding space and room to stretch out.

Guinea pigs

Prioritise continuous floor space over height. Guinea pigs need space to move, hide, forage and live comfortably, especially when kept in pairs or groups.

Hamsters

Look for usable floor area, deep bedding space, a suitable wheel, hides, chew items and space for natural behaviours such as digging and foraging.

Rats

Rats need climbing space, hammocks, shelves, enrichment and suitable bar spacing. Height is useful, but floor space and access also matter.

Birds

Check cage width, bar spacing, door access and space for perches, food, toys and movement. Birds need enough space to move safely and comfortably.

Ferrets

Ferrets need secure housing, multiple levels where suitable, sleeping areas, enrichment and regular exercise outside the enclosure.
