Living World Deluxe Habitat XL
The Living World Deluxe Habitat XL positions itself as a versatile, mid-priced indoor wire cage for rabbits and guinea pigs with a focus on modularity and easy cleaning—its plastic base and stackable design make expansion and maintenance straightforward for indoor keepers. Compared with metal-focused options like MidWest and Ferplast, Living World leans more on lightweight plastic components that reduce purchase cost and simplify assembly, making it a good financial choice for owners who want expandability without a big upfront investment. Technically it excels for multi-pet setups or owners who prioritize adaptable layouts over heavy-duty bar spacing for larger rabbits.

The Ferplast Favola Hamster Cage represents the premium European design option, prized for refined build quality, thoughtful ergonomics and durable plastic components that reduce sharp edges and maximize animal safety. Technically superior finishes and a tighter, aesthetically finished design justify its higher price versus the more utilitarian Prevue and Living World cages, and it often offers better escape-proof details than lower-cost multi-level kits. For owners prioritizing long-term durability and a polished indoor appearance for hamsters or gerbils, Favola is a top technical and stylistic choice.
