Hi all,
I have been meaning to review this cage for a while. I hope this helps anyone who is thinking of buying one but do message with any questions! I've mainly focused on what is different to the 2.0 so if you don't know that one, maybe have a look at that review too.
So first of all, this version is much bigger than the 2.0 at 120 x 60 x 62cm high. It's a really lovely generous space and actually I hadn't realised it is higher so that has been a real bonus as Bramble (classic female Syrian) can't easily reach to chew on the air vents even with plenty of bedding!
Another improvement is it is much sturdier with metal supports underneath in case of heavy bedding. Also, the perspex is thicker so it feels much safer. The only bit that is still a little bit flimsy is the front with the door, but it's holding out ok so far.
The other big improvement is that the panels all have rubber strips to keep them in place better and minimise any rattling or other noises.
The downside is that these rubber strips make it much trickier to put together as sometimes they slide off just as you think it's lined up. Definitely better with two people setting up. Also there are apparently good videos on YouTube showing how to assemble (wish I'd seen those as I managed to put the front on the wrong way round first time which is partly why this review is late!
)
Other things that are good to know:
You can also separately buy wheels and a stacking kit. You can only stack with other 3.0s though - it doesn't work with a 2.0.
It has two doors at the top which I find really useful.
I got the white version and really like the look of it but there's also a black version.
That's it for now but do let me know if I missed anything.
Most importantly Bramble seems very happy in her home!

Bramble looks very happy there and has a wonderful set up. That is a lovely large front opening door as well.
