Ferret nation cage VS Critter nation cage

[Vcchinchilla]

There's barely any difference between other then
spacing between the bars
and one is a little bit bigger
and one is more expensive

so does anyone ..(i know its a stupid question) use the ferret nation cage instead?

any reviews?
can young chinchilla (2month olds) escape from there??

please let me know what everyone thinks which is better and why.

=) thanks!

Without a doubt, FN cages are more sturdy. The gauge of the bars is more heavy duty than the CN cages and can better withstand the weight of ledges and jumping chinnies.
Unless you have, or are planning on having kits, I'd say go with the FN.
We haven't had any issues with baby escapes once they hit at least 200 grams before moving into a FN cage. But you can always wrap it with wire until then.

I have one of each, and I agree that if you're not planning on having kits, you should go with the FN. I bought my CN new 3 years ago and one of the bars that the wheel was attached to broke last week. I upgraded to Bass pans and it's a really snug fit on the CN, so much that I have to muscle the top pan out to clean it every week, scratching the cage in the process. The bottom pan isn't as horrible, but it's nowhere near as easy as the FN. Beyond that, I hate that I can barely fit my pinky finger between the bars to give the girls scritches.

I bought my FN from Craigslist in used condition and haven't had any issues at all. It's an incredibly sturdy cage and if I ever need to buy more, that's what I'll be going with.

I also say FN. It's very sturdy and you can walk by and give your critters some love without opening the door. I even bought the FN for my rats and covered it with hardware cloth because I didnt want the flimsy bars on the CN to break.
