I originally bought this cage as a holiday accommodation for my rats, but after upgrading, it got passed onto the mice.

The space is wonderful, however the height does need to be broken up with hammocks and extra levels to prevent falls that could result in serious injury for a mouse. The base is nice and deep, allowing for burrowing, and the access is pretty good too, although it can be worth adding an extra door to the front (these can be bought for approx. £4 from Emerson’s Pet Centre online and installed fairly easily).
The tubes that come with the cage are really a little huge for mice, but it will do them no harm, they just might not feel quite so safe in them.
The bars do get tarnished very easily as they’re not coated, so it could be worth coating the bars with an animal-safe enamel, such as Plastikote or Japlac, which is pretty cheap to buy.

Overall though, I do think this cage is huge value for money, and my group of girls absolutely loved it and used every inch of the space. Really a wonderful palace for a group of mice.

I brought this cage for my girls whom were in two separate cages, several times I had tried intro’s but none had worked. When the cage arrived it needed to be plasticoted which roughly took two large tins. Once finished we introduced the girls all in the same cage and never looked back, now it’s as if they were never apart. The size of the cage is great you can hang hammocks, tunnels, ledges - the bar spacing is narrow also which also helps with nibblers. I think this cage is excellent value for money and would buy another without a second thought.

A new Jenny cage comes complete with a single corner shelf with ramp, rat tubes including hanging tube, two food bowls and water bottle and is excellent value for money. The bar spacing is once cm apart and has been no problems for my girls. The amount of room means there is lots of scope for adding toys hammocks etc which is needed to break up the height in case of falls. I have been really happy with the cage but be warned that you will need to buy extra doors as the door design is very poor and is difficult to clean otherwise. The doors are only a couple of pound and are easily available from the internet. My only quibble is that the bars are very soft and can easily break at he welding so care must be taken when adding an extra door into it.

Good points:
~ Good Ventilation
~ Easy Viewing
~ Great for climbing instincts

Bad points:
~ Need to mesh around the cage, as some mice can escape through the bars
~ Can take a bit of money to fill with toys
~ Harzardous if mice fall from the top of the cage
Summary:
I think they are very big and can make great cages for mice if made secure enough. I did buy this for my rats but I thought id try it out on the mice first but changed my mind I didn’t think it was safe enough so gave it back to my rats.
