120cm vs 140cm Rabbit & Guinea Pig Cage: Which Size to Buy?

The short answer: bigger floor space, lower height

The 140cm cage gives your pet more room to move: its base measures 134cm long by 63cm wide internally, compared with the 120cm cage's overall footprint of 120cm by 59cm. That extra length and width matters for rabbits and guinea pigs that need space to hop, turn and stretch out.

But the 140cm model is also shorter overall at 47cm high, while the 120cm cage stands 50cm tall. If you want more vertical room for a ramp or hanging accessories, the 120cm may suit better. The trade-off is straightforward: more floor space versus more height.

What the measurements mean for your pet

• Rabbit & Guinea Pig Cage 120cm – Blue/Black with Hayrack | Little Friends: Overall size: 120 x 59 x 50 cm. This is the external footprint, so check it against the spot you plan to use. The 50cm height gives a bit more vertical room than the 140cm model.

  

• Rabbit & Guinea Pig Cage 140cm – Large Indoor Hutch with Hayrack | Little Friends: Internal base: 134 x 63 x 16 cm (L x W x D). The internal base is the usable floor area your pet actually stands on. At 134cm by 63cm, it offers more length and width than the 120cm cage's overall dimensions.

  

Height and bar spacing: what each cage offers

The 120cm cage is 50cm high overall, which may give you more headroom for a ramp or for your pet to stretch up. The 140cm cage is 47cm high and has 2cm bar spacing. That spacing is stated as suitable for rabbits, guinea pigs and other small pets of similar size that can be safely contained with 2cm gaps.

If you have a very small pet, such as a young guinea pig, check that 2cm spacing is appropriate. The supplied information does not specify a minimum pet size for the 120cm cage, so measure your pet and use your judgement.

Access and cleaning features compared

• 120cm cage doors: Large top-opening door and drop-down front door for easy cleaning, feeding and interaction.
• 140cm cage access: The supplied information does not describe the door configuration. If easy front access is important to you, the 120cm model has clearer details.
• Hayrack: Both cages include a hayrack. The 120cm model specifies it is removable, which can make cleaning easier.
• Assembly: The 120cm cage is flat-packed and requires minor assembly with securing clips. Assembly requirements for the 140cm cage are not stated in the supplied information.

Which size should you choose?

Choose the 140cm cage if floor space is your priority. Its larger internal base gives rabbits and guinea pigs more room to move, and the 2cm bar spacing is designed for these pets. It suits a home with enough floor area to accommodate a 140cm-long hutch.

Choose the 120cm cage if you need more height or want confirmed easy access through a large top door and drop-down front. The included ramp and removable hayrack add convenience, and the 50cm height may fit better in tighter spaces. Just be aware that the overall footprint is smaller, so your pet has less floor area to explore.
