Sturdy, Secure, Quality
The media could not be loaded. Sturdy, secure, easy to assemble, lightweight to carry.It’s my first time needing a carrier for my rabbits. It’s their first vet trip. I read a wonderfully helpfully review of this carrier, from somebody mentioning she liked the bolt feature (something I hadn’t considered to be a feature to look out for). She mentioned it adds extra security if the side clips fail or break. After reading reviews of other carriers, people mentioned the clips broke or the bottom fell off in transit and the animal fell out. So, it was a big reason I purchased this carrier, because the top and bottom can also be bolted with metal screws and not just rely on the plastic clips to hold them together. However, when assembling the carrier, the screw went in fine, but I struggled to attach the washer on the other end, it was fiddly, no helpful tool supplied to do it and I couldn’t tighten them fully with my fingers. In the end, I just used black cable ties instead of the screw bolts. Easier when dissembling for storage that way, just cut the ties instead of fiddling with a bunch of six screws.I’m pleased it can open from the top via the handle, or from the front cage entrance. The gate felt thick, rather than thin wire. The clasp feature to lock it felt very secure. I feel the rabbits will be safe and secure and can’t escape, God-willing!I bought the small 19” size because it won’t be used often, or for long journeys (vets is 10min drive away). My rabbit is the size of a small-medium cat/dog. He is a fully grown Lop rabbit, 18mth old (not dwarf or mini). In my opinion, This carrier will be suitable for a medium sized adult rabbit, or a small-medium cat. I don’t think it’s suitable for an animal of this size for a long journey over 30-45min long, as there isn’t too much space for stretching/sprawling out, or standing on hind legs. If the animal is returning from vet treatment and needing to lay/rest with minimal movement, then it’s ideal. It will also be fine for short journeys, if the animal has had exercise time prior to entering the carrier, they’ll likely stay still and sleep. For a long, lengthy journey, or for a larger cat/dog/rabbit etc, I’d suggest buying the bigger size option.Very happy with this purchase. The price was very good compared to some options that didn’t appear to be as good. My only regret is not buying the larger size, just incase I ever want to do a long journey with them (I should of thought that through better!) at least it will be easy for storage and also, the bottom section of the carrier can be used as a spare litter tray when not used for the carrier feature (yes, for those who don’t own rabbits, they can be litter trained like cats).

Really great carrier
I've just ordered my second one of these as they are so great! I have two rabbits and when it's time to go to the vets, I have a bit of a battle on my hands. Most carriers just have a front opening so it can be really hard to manoeuvre our furry friends inside. I was resorting to hiding treats inside but they soon caught on to that!With this carrier having a top door, you can pick up the bunnies and gently lower them in. It's also great in the car as you can open the top and reassure them.The carriers are very sturdy, even with heavier animals. One of mine weights 4kg and the other 2.75kg and it manages both with no issues.The floor can be a bit slippy though so I put a non slip mat inside so that they have traction.The door is made of metal so it cannot be chewed.This carrier comes in two sizes. It's a shame the smaller one is significantly lower in height as I feel there needs to be an inbetween size. The small is too small for one of my bunnies, but the large is a little too large. Not a major issue though, better to get one with more space than one that is too small.I did order one from Amazon Warehouse that was supposed to be good as new. However it arrived without original packaging and had fur / urine stains on it. This was sent back and I've ordered a brand new one.I would highly recommend this carried. Although there are cheaper ones on the market, considering it's functionality, I'm happy to pay the extra to have a carrier that's easier to use.

Decent carrier
I like how this carrier has screws to help keep the top and bottom attached. It's very sturdy and for my large cat it gives him plenty of space.My only dislike is the top door. I feel like one day the plastic rods will snap and my cat will end up escaping. Whenever I use the handle to lift the carrier the door bends slightly. That's the only thing stopping me from giving five stars.

Parrot Transport
Great item. Purchased to transport my parrot. *MEDIUM SIZED. Ticks all the boxes. Secure and safe. Very strong and peck proof. Some of the cheaper versions are not escape proof. Really happy with the quality and design.

Fab carrier
Absolutely fantastic carrier. My cat hurt his nose trying to get out of our current furplast carrier as he gets stressed, this carrier is perfect, nice large size and has small holes so he cannot put his nose through. It also comes with nut and bolt to make it a belts and braces secure carrier. Fab spring loaded catches front and top to help get kitty in and out. Very easy to assemble - really pleased with this purchase

A little tricky to build, but well worth it
Bought this after my last mesh one fell apart after one use. Big, sturdy and very easy to use. Does take a while to put it together but once that’s done you’ve got a product that will last forever. Size is big enough for any cat or even small dogs as well

Very sturdy and great value for money!
Bought this to replace a really flimsy carrier and I'm very happy with it. The plastic feels sturdy and the fact the top screws into the bottom makes it even sturdier. Both the doors on the front and top are easy for me to open while safely ensure my cat can't escape. I'd highly recommend this carrier, it's great value for money and I'll definitely be investing in the larger size should my cat outgrow it.

Well designed, durable cat carrier
This is by far the best cat carrier I've found, with the extra opening, and durable design. I was slightly confused on how to put the screws in since it looked a bit fiddly and the instructions were quite confusing. The way to do it is to hold the bolt in place, while using a Philips head to screw it down. It's designed this way, I assume so your cat doesn't mess with it.
