What you linked is better than a solid floor, you are correct.

However many people feel that it's worse than a 100% wire cage. Zero wood means zero wood to get pee'd on, to rot, to smell, to get chewed on, to generate splinters, etc.

That CL entry doesn't state that the hutch has a wire floor, which would be a big turnoff and can result in lesser quality end results.

It's better than a solid floor cage for sure. I'd use it, but I wouldn't pay $45 bucks for one, because I could build it cheaper and those look pretty used. You could put a smaller concrete mixing tub underneath on the ground and then put worms in that. I'd put it outside and throw a tarp over it.

I, for one , wouldn't buy it ... I woldn't even take it if it was free !
Why? Experience? I've never done it, so I'm not sure why.

Like I've said, I'm about to go to college, and my bf is caring for my three pets. I want it to be as easy as possible, and dumping a bin every now and then and scooping out that little box looks easier than cleaning the entire "pet" cage we currently have with a solid plastic floor.
Hint ... study the side wire mesh... :caf

Well, I was going to make sure ti was sturdy, but if I can build a new one cheaper then I will.

Is it because of the rust?

Lack of a complete frame? This is making me feel dumb, like it should be obvious.

Nope... try, try again without guessing . Study it with great detail ( repeticium est mater studeorum !) .

I looked at it too and couldn't see anything obvious. :idunno

Ooh! I see it. Are newbies allowed to guess? : )
