Prevue Hendryx Feisty Ferret Home
Prevue Hendryx's Feisty Ferret Home earns best-in-class consideration for escape-proof features built into a budget-conscious steel construction, including narrow bar spacing, reinforced corners, and spring-loaded keyed latches that foil determined small animals. Compared with modular but pricier options like the MidWest Critter Nation and the compact Ferplast tower, Prevue strikes a strong balance of heavy-gauge materials and lower upfront cost, making it a durable, value-focused choice for owners prioritizing both security and savings.

MidWest Critter Nation Double Unit
MidWest Critter Nation Double Unit is the market leader thanks to industrial-strength welded-wire panels, a reinforced frame, multi-point latching doors, and deep removable pans that together create one of the most escape-resistant, long-lasting enclosures available. While it typically carries a higher price than Prevue or Kaytee cages, its commercial-grade hardware, modular expandability, and superior long-term durability deliver greater lifetime value for owners who need near-escape-proof performance.

Kaytee Multi-Level Ferret Cage
Kaytee's Multi-Level Ferret Cage provides a cost-effective, multi-tiered heavy-duty option with secure snap-on latches, tiered platforms, and reasonably tight bar spacing that deter most escape attempts while keeping the price accessible. It does not match the factory-welded robustness of the MidWest Critter Nation, but it offers a competitive price-to-features ratio compared with higher-end cages, making it a practical choice for owners seeking decent escape protection without a large investment.

Ferplast Ferret Tower Two-Story
