Unfortunately I don't own any of those... a couple look hard to clean, though... I could suggest some though...

My friend has number 2 and the only problem with it that I know of is the slide sometimes falls off but it is easily put back on.

I didn't study the dimensions, but I always suggest that people buy the biggest cage they can afford.

I agree with the FN people I just love mine. However out of those I would go with one of the two that are on wheels! I love being able to pull the FN out and clean behind it, move it from room to room, etc... Oh yeah and the rack under it is awesome to store all their extra bedding!

Don't get me wrong... I love my FN... but they have now jacked up the price, so Ferret.com isn't necessarily the cheapest place to get it anymore. :(

They also have that one that is cheaper but looks just like ferret nation. I think it might be just a little smaller. I bought my FN from dr. fosters and it was more expensive then ferret.com I believe.

I do like the ferret cage, it looks very robust compared to many
of the others.

That sounds like the Feisty Ferret. I have one of those, too.

Of those, I would definitely go with 4. I don't know how it compares to Super Pet cages because I don't have any experience with Marshall, but I personally do not like Super Pet at all. The doors on the Marshall cage look much bigger than SP doors, so it would be easier to clean, especially with movable shelves. It looks like a very nice! And even though I have a Ferret Nation and love it, I'm not going to say you should get one, or a similar cage. I think the Marshall looks great.

Hmm ima look in to ferret nation the only problem is i have a large garage type shelving thingy in my room and all my animals are on it and i think they might not fit on the width of the shelf.

The ferret nation has it's own stand, and it is quite large.

Huh, I'm wanting to get a new cage myself, and I'm curious. Does anyone know the bar spacing on the FN Model 142, and if it would be suitable for two girls under a year of age?

It's a good inch or so. Same as 141.

Just cover with hardware cloth and all is solved. :)

Hmm, thanks. I just wonder if the hardware cloth would make it harder to clean?

Mana

It does. After a couple months of having my FN covered, I had come to despise the hardware cloth. It was a huge hassle to undo it around the bottoms to clean out the gunk that built up around there and then reattach it. I was SO happy to finally take it off completely a couple months ago, now that my babies are big enough not to be able to get out (or at least haven't).
