Best Guinea Pig Cages in the UK

The best pets deserve the best habitats, hence MidWest Homes for Pets Guinea Habitat Plus™. This cage is interactive, expandable, and constructed with meticulous attention to detail.

The cage's modular design offers multiple configurations and practically unlimited opportunities for expanding. Meanwhile, the sides, measuring 14 inches (35 centimetres) high, enable secure and comfortable access, making sure that guinea pigs have no issues entering and leaving the cage when necessary. Above, you'll find the wire mesh top, protecting cavies from predators. Splitting this top is the multi-access folding segment and the divider panel, along with the lock-in ramps/doors separating the care area from the play area.

Bottom line, the product is about as multi-layered as guinea pig cages can get, without even mentioning the PVC-lined canvas on the bottom, the part that defines this cage even more than its modular design. Leakproof, tear-resistant, removable, and easily washable, the canvas ensures brilliant traction and protects cavies' sensitive feet.

Because the entire closure is so intricate, some might find the cage difficult to assemble. Even so, the biggest sceptics you can find will have the hardest time arguing against MidWest Homes for Pets Guinea Habitat Plus™.

Ferplast Plastic Cage eliminates complications. The spacious cage, measuring almost one metre long, will be able to accommodate not only cavies but also hamsters and even rabbits. Setting aside the wire net, the entire enclosure is made from durable plastic, tough and not easily bendable. At the same time, the model's high bottom will be containing sawdust and collecting dirt and food remains, making the cage easy to clean and upkeep.

Even the happiest pets contemplate escaping from time to time. To that end, the model's adopting an enclosing system that relies upon plastic clips to prevent accidental escapes. These clips are secure and reliable, maybe even too much, meaning that some might find them quite stiff.

There's nothing stiff about the wire net at the top though, promoting air circulation and keeping the cage well-ventilated. You can lift the roof to enable convenient access to the inside and, using safety hooks, you can also make sure the roof remains closed.

Without looking at the less-than-significant nooks and crannies, Ferplast Plastic Cage keeps things simple, which is not the worst approach when you're engineering guinea pig cages. The product is spacious and comfortable for both pets and owners.

When you glance at the price first, AmazonBasics Jumbo becomes difficult to criticise. Sure, the upper level is not very sturdy but, more often than not, sturdy enough to support most cavies. But, besides that, the cage is even more complex than premium models that cost two-three times as much as this product.

To begin with, the non-drip bottle prevents messes. To continue, there's also the hay guard that attaches to the outside, reducing crowding inside and offering convenient access when cleaning and refilling. To keep going, the food dish is tip-proof, allowing you to feed adorable little rascals without them turning the cage into some messy dump. To drop this before it gets obnoxious, the balcony (upper level) not only offers added dimension to the cage but also creates hiding space below, providing this hide-away area that pets can use for rest and privacy.

Measuring 124 x 68 x 52 centimetres, this 2-storey cage will accommodate multiple guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, even small rabbits (though, with rabbits, we'd recommend removing the balcony and the access ramp).

Once more, despite coming at ~40 quid, AmazonBasics Jumbo does not belong with the budget crowd, challenging and even outclassing expensive high-end models from certain perspectives.

SONGMICS Pet Playpen does not look cosy, resembling an imprisonment unit more than some comfortable habitat. That being said, hamsters, chinchillas, guinea pigs, and most pets do not view these things from the same angle that we do, so we would not worry about that. We would also not worry about making pets uncomfortable because, measuring 143 x 73 x 71 centimetres, the cage is huge, huge enough to accommodate countless pets.

Using 36 wire sheets and 100 cable ties, you can experiment with different configurations, building large playpens with low height or stacking the sheets and doubling the cage's height, sacrificing the floor area. The rounded edges will be protecting pets from injuries whilst running around, whereas the non-slip pads on the connectors will ensure the cage remains stable when put onto PVC and wooden floors. Also, the pads protect floors from scratches.

Because there are so many moving parts, the cage will take some time to assemble, especially since the included instructions are insufficient.

Still, SONGMICS Pet Playpen is an easy decision to make when you know that you will be housing multiple pets and these pets will range from hamsters to rabbits to even puppies. You can buy multiple cages or you can go with this playpen and create different large cages yourself when needed.

Rosewood PICO Hamster Home is not as spacious as the cages we have reviewed before, capping at 50 x 36 x 47 centimetres. Therefore, this is not the cage we would recommend people who are looking to accommodate multiple large pets. On the upside, this product is more elaborate than those massive cages that are not offering anything but an enclosure.

Here, you have the loft den that will be enabling easy and comfortable interactions between the pet and you. To add more, the twin doors are offering secure closures and provide comfortable access from both sides.

All the ladders and the levels make this pet home much more enticing and entertaining than standard playpens without these parts, so even though the pet will be alone there, you will not have to worry about your little friend feeling lonely and bored. Plus, the wheel is pretty solid too, meaning that you will not be forced to adjust it every few days. Besides that, the food dish does its job and so does the drop-in bottle, except that it is not as easily accessible to you as you'd expect.

To sum this up, Rosewood PICO Hamster Home might as well be shipping with the Home Sweet Home sign because most hamsters and guinea pigs will love this cage with its numerous exercise and entertainment opportunities.
