1.0 out of 5 stars Death trap, March 6, 2008

I implore all rabbit owners NOT to buy this cage. Don't be fooled by the high price; in this case, it does not indicate good quality. My rabbit was almost killed this morning, when she stuck her head out of a little door (that should have had a latch to keep it closed), and the tray, which was rigged with a bungee cord for reinforcement, fell out from beneath her. The door clamped closed on her neck, and she was suspended, choking. Thank God my mom heard the commotion and was able to save her before she went into shock or was suffocated.

I have heard horror stories about cages from this company, even those that are of a completely different design than mine. My rabbit survived; another small animal might not be so fortunate. There are so many safe cages out there for less money; continue your search and stay away from this brand.

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Luna 82 Blue / Silver Hutch (Misc.)

Amazon shipped this amazingly fast (had it the next day even with the free shipping) BUT - the base was cracked badly in several spots and one of the clips was missing. I emailed Amazon and they shipped me another one at no charge. Meanwhile using packing tape, hubby fixed the broken tray and we decided to skip the house since it was missing a bracket. Hubby spent ages getting it together properly and even then the base popped out one morning leaving a very bewildered rabbit on the floor along with a lot of mess. Thanks to a bungee cord, it was back in place.

Then came the new one. Nothing cracked, thankfully, but it was the dickens to put together. Pieces kept sliding apart because its so poorly made - especially for the price. Finally, with great difficulty, he screwed on some metal brackets to keep the thing from detaching. We have a bungee cord across the base underneath again. OTH, Nickel the bunny loves his new hutch and there's much less mess than with the outdoor hutch we were using at first.

Now to the point of this whole thing.... If I'd known what I know now would I have bought it? NO. Cage is nice, but the quality makes it way overpriced.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good quality but beware of assembly, September 27, 2009

We have 2 large guineas that needed more space so we opted for the Luna 82 by Marchioro. Though it is marketed for rabbits it works great for our cavies but I would forewarn any cavie owners out there to make sure that yours are large enough that they cannot escape through the wire mesh before purchasing this product. I would argue against those that state that this product is made poorly. The frame and wire mesh are heavy duty and assemble tightly to provide a sound framework for the rest of the product. The peripheral items, e.g. water and feed dispenser, hay rack, etc. are pretty cheaply made but most of us already have a good version of these items on hand and so merely substitute these in their place. I personally believe that the negative comments re: craftmanship are more a result of improper assembly which I lay to blame squarely on Marchioro. There are no step-by-step instructions; merely a series of poor-quality photographs that leave you guessing about most of the assembly. I finally resolved myself to put it together based on my experience of having put together hundreds of like items from the past. If put together properly (which I finally managed to do) everything fits tightly and operates smoothly. Nothing is loose or flimsy and neither did I require a bungie cord to hold anything together. Marchioro....take a word of advice, improve your assembly instructions and photographs so that consumers can put your product together correctly and I think you'll find most consumer's negative remarks will take care of themselves.
