Pick a wing
Three wings of the building
The ground-floor wing
Small pets take the garden level
Guinea pigs, rabbits and hamsters move into panel-built pens with a SNAAT signature: the waterproof liner hangs outside the wire frame, where teeth can't reach it, hooked on so it lifts off for cleaning in one motion. Open-top runs for the supervised, fully enclosed 0.6-inch mesh builds for the escape artists — every layout snaps together without tools.
The tower wing
Cats get the multi-storey suites
Cat quarters here think vertically: a three-tier crate with platforms to climb, a hammock playpen with double doors, and the flagship suite with a built-in litter drawer that cleans from outside and a storage-topped roof you can actually play with a cat through. Modular units connect when one room stops being enough.
The atrium
Birds hold the 57-inch atrium
The tallest room in the building: a 57-inch aviary with a storage shelf up top for seed and toys, a wide splash guard below that keeps the floor out of the seed business, quick-open doors for daily visits, and the starter furniture — bowls, ladders, swings, a nest — already in the box.
Panels versus pet-store boxes
Why panels beat the pet-store box
A store-bought cage is one decision made forever. A panel build is a floor plan you keep editing — and the differences show up exactly where a small animal's life does.

The full argument, with measurements, lives in the house note 'How much room do they actually need'.

The room most tours start in
The big open build: floor space is the whole luxury
Guinea pigs measure wealth in unbroken floor, and this is the line's largest open layout — panels enough to give a pair the long straightaways they actually run, with the chew-proof outside-hung liner keeping your floor dry underneath it all. Rated 4.1 stars across 465 tenants' humans.

Move-in day, three steps long
1
Lay out the floor plan
Count your corner's inches, then arrange the panels flat on the floor like a blueprint — long runs beat clever mazes for anything that likes to sprint. The grid connectors don't care whether you build a rectangle, an L, or a full room-divider.
2
Click the walls up
Panels snap into the connectors by hand — no tools, no hardware bag, no instruction-sheet grief. The liner hangs on its hooks outside the finished frame, where teeth never reach it, and drops into place with the door cutout already measured.
3
Hand over the keys
Bedding in, hay rack up, tenant introduced to the premises. Cleaning day reverses one step only: unhook the liner, shake it out, hook it back. The walls stay standing — this lease renews itself.
The tallest lease in the building
Fifty-seven inches of birdroom, storage included
The atrium solves the two things bird cages always forget: where the seed and toys live (a full storage shelf on top), and where the mess lands (a wide splash guard that keeps hulls off your floor). Doors open quick for morning visits, and the starter furniture — bowls, ladders, swings, a nest — is already in the box.

The long lease
Housing small animals, answered at length
Every pet-store aisle sells the same compromise: a box sized for the shelf it ships on, not the animal it will hold. Panel-built enclosures flipped that arithmetic — buy walls by the piece, assemble a floor plan that fits both the tenant and the corner you can spare, and re-shape it the day either one changes.
SNAAT's catalog covers that idea across three species' worth of housing: modular pens and enclosed cages for guinea pigs, rabbits and hamsters; stacked and connectable suites for cats; and a full-height aviary for birds. What follows is the practical part — sizes, materials, and the honest trade-offs.
The liner is the quiet hero
Most cage liners fail one of two ways: the animal chews the edge, or the cleaning routine is such a production that it happens less often than it should. Hanging the waterproof liner outside the wire frame retires both problems at once — teeth meet wire, never fabric, and the hooks mean the whole floor lifts out, shakes off, and returns in under a minute.
The liner arrives cut for the door, too, so the entrance works from day one without scissors or guesswork.
Open-top, solid roof, or skylight
Open-top pens suit supervised ground-floor living: easiest access, best airflow, simplest cleaning. The fully enclosed builds trade a little convenience for security — 0.6-inch mesh dense enough to hold the determined and to keep other household residents out. The skylight version keeps the roof but makes it transparent, for tenants who do better with daylight overhead.
The honest rule: climbers and escape artists get roofs; placid grazers with no cats in the house usually don't need one.
How much floor is enough
- A single guinea pig wants roughly 7.5 square feet of unbroken floor — a pair, closer to 10
- Rabbits need room to take three full hops in a line — length matters more than shape
- Hamsters prioritize dense, escape-proof walls over sheer area — the 0.6-inch mesh exists for them
- Cats count vertically: tiers and platforms multiply a small footprint's real estate
- Birds measure in wingspan and height — the 57-inch atrium is sized for budgies through cockatiels
What the wire actually is
The panels are coated metal grids on plastic connectors — the same architecture the C&C (cubes-and-coroplast) community has trusted for two decades, packaged with the liner and connectors in one box instead of three store runs. Assembly is genuinely tool-free: panels seat into connectors by hand, and disassemble the same way for moving day.
A word on the young listings
Several rooms in this building are new to Amazon and carry small rating counts — a few dozen voices, not a few hundred. The board shows every count as it stands, because eight ratings is information too: it means early, not bad. Where the crowd is thin, weigh the listed measurements and the photos harder than the stars.

The landlord's desk
The landlord's desk, and how it works
One household keeps this building, and the routine is fixed: pull every measurement and material claim from the maker's own listings rather than memory, check the floor-space numbers against the C&C community standards that predate every brand in the niche, and pull rents and rating counts from the live Amazon pages on a dated pass. Where a listing is young and thinly rated, the page says so instead of rounding up the enthusiasm.
The commission disclosed at the bottom of every page is the desk's entire income. It pays the same whether a reader takes the $26.94 starter pen or the flagship suite — which is the only arrangement under which honest room descriptions stay honest.
When something drifts — a rent, a packaging photo, a listing gone quiet — a note under the door gets it fixed before anything else on the ledger.

The tenants' board
Heard through the walls
“We went from a pet-store cage to the big open build and our two sows started popcorning laps the first evening. The liner unhooks, shakes out over the compost, hooks back — cleaning went from chore to chore-ette.”
“Our hamster had escaped three cages before this one. The mesh is tight enough that he finally retired from crime, and the enclosed roof means the cat has stopped filing complaints for access.”
“The storage shelf on top of the aviary is the feature nobody advertises loudly enough — seed, spray, toys, all off my bookshelves. And the splash guard means I stopped vacuuming hulls off the rug every second day.”
