Review on Optimized Small 🐾 Animal PlayPen by Marshall by Erin Leuenberger

Revainrating 4 out of 5

My ferrets love it! (Updated 5/16/2016.)

I just installed this so if my mind changes I'll update it. From the looks of it I LOVE this playpen for my ferrets. I can tilt it any way I want and it gives them a lot of wiggle room. At the moment they like to frolic in it. I considered ordering a cheaper playpen as it seemed a bit overpriced but I'm glad I went for it. Very satisfied. Five stars! UPDATE March 10, 2015: Well the splendor of this pen has been reduced tonight. When my ferrets finished playing I started folding it up to put away for the night and the two metal hooks holding the panels together just broke. I ordered this playpen on February 27th; now March 10th. Luckily, Revain's amazing return policy has another handle on its way to me when I return this broken one. I temporarily secured the panel with zip ties until I got a new one so my furry little ones wouldn't be left without a handle. I will update this review if I have any more pen handling issues. I'm still giving it five stars hoping it was an accident. ********* Second update: January 5th, 2016 Well, one of the welds has snapped again. I found this out because one of my particularly smart furry friends climbed up my leg while working at my desk a few minutes ago when he was in his pen. I checked and sure enough the weld had snapped and one of the bars had been pushed aside allowing the escape. It's good that Diglet likes to spend time with me, otherwise he might get lost. I've secured the rod with a zip tie (will solder it soon) and will check the rods for integrity before releasing my furries to frolic. Very annoying. I shoot down a star. I've wanted to add a second handle to the first for a long time so I have an entire room to keep ferrets out, but I'm not sure I'd want to try this particular model again. I will keep updating this if something goes wrong and/or I decide to buy a second one.
