This is a cage topper for a standard 20 gallon tank. It also acts as a nice holding cage as long as you twist tie the ramp that leads down into the tank. This little feature makes this tank topper a dream for cleaning the tank portion of the cage.I gave this cage only 4 stars, because there are just a couple of cons. While I understand nothing is perfect, we, as pet owners love our furry little friends and want them to be safe and sound. And, as a matter-of-fact, ourselves as well.
I reiterate: This is a dream for our pet Rat (Luna), and ability to "convert" it to a stand alone cage with a simple wire tie gets it a thumbs up.
Cons-
-The cage is not painted at all, It seems to be (and as the description says) galvanized welded wire. Suggestion to the manufacturer, perhaps you could make future versions of this cage powder coated or rubber-coated. Its somewhat unsightly.
-The bottom edges of the cage (where it fits around the frame of the tank) has very sharp, wire edges. Beware, for safety of yourself, and your children. Suggestion to the manufacturer, a little file work, or light grinding, goes a long way to ensure the safety of our pets and your customers.
I'll do the work and file the edges myself, which is easy enough. Just wanted to point out a few observations I've made. Hope this helps future buyers, though I hope you make the choice to add some space for your little friends. I've had to buy this as a down grade to a custom wire mesh wrapped Ferret Nation double level Mansion to a Two Story Tank House, but Luna seems very happy being able to get some fresh air, and it's much easier to interact with her for play time and feeding.
