"Hannah,

Once again, thank you for your assistance with my order.  In my search several years ago for housing options for our avian pets, Mango the Jardine’s Parrot and Binky the Cockatiel, I came across CagesByDesign and was immediately impressed by not only the overall design but also the quality of workmanship to provide a safe habitat.  For several years Binky and Mango have been housed in a smaller cage, and although it is adequate in size, we are now able to provide them with a much better structure with  considerably more room allowing them more mobility within a confined space and room for more toys.  This will make them very happy. With the added features, including seed guards and pull-out tray system, this will help in keeping the outside area of the cage more manageable to keep clean on a daily basis.   This will make my husband and me very happy. 

The added feature of the Friendly Feeders is especially at top of my husband’s list of safety features -- Not for the birds, but for himself.  To put it bluntly, this past summer he suffered what he described as “..a very painful tittie twister,” inflected on him by Mango, the Jardine’s.   Although Mango was hand-reared and knows the “Up” command to get on your hand, and will give you kisses, he does not like intrusion into his domain through the bars.   One early morning my husband, who had just gotten up, decided to retrieve their water bottle and while reaching over the cage was not attentive to the fact his shirtless upper torso was pressed against the bars of the cage where Mango was waiting for the opportunity to “latch” on.   He still wears the mark of that unfortunate encounter.

We’re looking forward to our new CagesByDesign unit and we’re certain Mango and Binky will enjoy their new home for years to come.

Best wishes, 
Brenda (and Keith) Tekin"

"I've kept various species of lizards for nearly 20 years now. My CagesByDesign terrarium is by far the nicest enclosure I've had. I went with CagesByDesign because of the multitude of sizes I could have requested and various configurations. The cage is sturdy and well designed. With the help of my wife, putting it together was not difficult. But, most importantly, my water dragons love it.

Thanks CagesByDesign!"

“To the Staff of Cages by Design,

Thank you so much for the cage set-up your company was kind enough to donate to our son, Joshua.  It is evident that a lot of time, care, and attention to detail were put into the entire project.  Joshua was thrilled with the thought of receiving the cages, as he had read about the quality of your products in Reptile magazine; we were all overwhelmed by your generosity when we learned that you were setting him up with all of the accessories, as well.  The look on his face was priceless!

Upon delivery of the cages, it took no time at all to assemble them.  It was very simple, and the fact that it is on wheels made it so easy to move into position.  After we put in the bedding and the accessories, it was time to move Joshua’s four corn snakes and two leopard geckoes into their new homes.  All I can say is, if reptiles could smile, they would have!  They all have so much room, and they look much happier.  Feeding and cleaning is a breeze, allowing Joshua to be able to have more hands-on time with his pets.  Between having an aggressive form of lupus and kidney failure, he has had to give up doing many of the things he enjoyed doing, and it was looking like he might have to give up his pets because of the difficulty in taking care of their tanks.  Thanks to Cages by Design, he can once again take care of his pets, and the whole family can enjoy them, too.  The whole unit is beautiful, and exceeded all of our expectations.

Cages by Design, thank you again for everything!  Not just for your products, which are gorgeous, but most importantly for the happiness and joy you have brought back into our son’s life.  Your company is proof that people truly care, and we are extremely grateful for all that you have done.

With Much Thanks,”

“Cages by Design has taken our exotic animal room from “organized chaos” to a much more professional feel with the cages that they generously donated to our organization. Prior to that, we used a hodgepodge of cages to hold our various exotics.

The new cages are extremely professional looking, they allow us to keep more animals to be adopted and they even have great storage capacity for our supplies. The animals are certainly more viewable for potential adopters and that makes it easier for us to place them in good homes.  Our ferrets are so happy and comfortable in a cage that was built just for them! Our reptile habitat allows us to beautifully showcase them as well as educate our community on their very specific needs. In addition to that the cages are on casters so we can arrange them to suit our needs.

We get so many comments about how great the cages look and “do the animals come with the cages?”

Adam and Brad from Cages by Design are a pleasure to work with and they’ve have always made themselves available for any questions or suggestions that we have.

Thanks Cages By Design for helping us to make a wonderful shelter even better…you’re the best!!”

“Brad, just a quick note to say thanks to you and Cages by Design for the tremendous support during the ordering, installation, and follow up service you and your company provided.  This not only happened once, but also on our second order almost a year later.  Your advice on the type of cage for our birds was right on the mark and the product quality was beyond our expectations. Your follow up recommendations to reduce cage cleanup and maintenance was a lifesaver.   Keep up the good work.”

"My new cage is everything I expected. The quality and strength of the materials allows my Umbrella Cockatoo (born to destroy) the freedom to play safely all day and have enough room to flap her wings and not hurt herself. Much to my surprise the assembly was exactly as you said: two people about 3 hours with using only an Allen wrench (supplied by you). I recommend your cages to every bird enthusiast I see."

"The cages are absolutely beautiful and are so much more like their natural habitat. To top it off the customer service received from CagesByDesign was outstanding. The girls only came home 3 days ago. . . and they have settled into their new home (cage) already. I would recommend these cages to anyone, they are worth every penny."

"Spike loves her cage! It was a good investment. It is plenty big to last her a lifetime. Plenty of room to grow, plus it is beautiful! It is the main attraction at my house. Thanks!"

"Hi guys. My name is Lucy, and I'm a 5-year old Congo African Grey. Mommy purchased my new CagesByDesign home back in August 2006. Due to my chicken-hearted tendencies (I even know how to cluck!), it took a few trials and tribulations before I felt safe in this grand new habitat. It was soooo big! And where did the bars at the front of my cage go? Well, having now been cured of my new-cage phobia, I've discovered that I can peak out at Mommy a whole lot easier through those acrylic doors! And Mommy loves gazing in at me! She swears by the Friendly Feeder system, which catches all of the food that I previously loved flinging onto the carpet from my old cage. Even when I'm not munching on my crunchies, I love sticking my head in there and talking up a storm. It makes my voice echo! We've gone through 3 (rather expensive for what they offered) bar cages, and we'll never go back. To my fellow feathered friends: tell the humans in your flock about CagesByDesign. The ingenious design and aesthetic appeal make a cage from CagesByDesign a decision, and an investment, that they (and you) will enjoy for years to come!"

"... I just wanted to let you guys know that I purchased a 5' x 3' x 5' (LxWxH) H3 cage from you for my Colombian Red Tail Boa and this cage is one of the best I've dealt with. All the materials were really high quality and it was very easy to assemble. It only took me and one other person about 3 hours. The replica shelves are really awesome too. You guys are really doing a great job with these cages. Keep it up."

"I wanted to let your company know how very satisfied I am with a cage that I had purchased for my 1 year old Chinese Water Dragon. The delivery was quick, and the cage itself is amazing. It is an eye-catching attraction in my home, and my Water dragon Kiwi loves it too. I recommend your name to anyone interested in purchasing a new enclosure for their herps. Thank You."

"Hi. I am just writing to let you know that the habitat we bought from you about a month ago it a great success. Our 6 cresties (5 girls, 1 boy) are loving it. They cruise around on their branches & vines & love their waterfall w/fogger. We had plexiglass trays (2) built to fit the bottom to hold the ecoearth substrate & it is all working out great. Thank you for a superior product."

"After I finally figured out how to put it together, it has been great! It is *a lot* less messy than my previous California Cage, which is the reason my husband and I purchased this particular cage. I can put the birds right in the office with me and it does not even effect my stuff (in terms of mess, dust, etc.)."

"Hi everyone! Our indoor aviary did go together quite nicely! It truly only took us about 6-8 hours to do it, but this was with breaks and also trying to identify the pieces, etc. Our babies love it. In the above photo are BooBoo, the African Grey; Sundance, the Patagonian Conure on the middle perch; Petey, the Greater Jardine, up on the toy on the side of the cage. Our son is having so much fun making them different toys, stringing different things in there for them to climb on, etc.... They all have a blast! The aviary in photos looks like it takes up a huge amount of space. It truly does not. It is only 4x4x6 and fits nicely between our family room and kitchen area. The reason I wanted the clear back panel....to be able to see from both sides. On their first trip into the aviary, Sundance was quite confused and yet elated by the "garden tub" he now has for a bath! He has now discovered this was meant for drinking water! BooBoo has also tried out the bathing in it! Again, they love it and we are so glad we did this! Darlene"

"I received my cage today about 2 weeks earlier than expected which was perfect because it arrived on my birthday of all days and I have 1 word for ya, BEAUTIFUL!!! It was everything I expected and then some. The only trouble I had was the lock directions but then I put down the directions and figured it out on my own which was much less confusing. But anyways I just wanted to thank you for getting it to me so fast and the next time I buy a new cage you guy's/gal's will be who I look up and I will definately spread the word about how nice your cages are, Too bad you didnt send me a shirt or a bumper sticker or something to advertise your company around here! If at all possible send me some promo stuff!!! THANKS a million, Brian"

"Just wanted to let you know how much we love our lizard cage.  They are so happy and have adjusted so well to the space.  We bought a 72 X 48 X 24 inch cage, and they have all the space they need!  We are so glad that we made this purchase for ourselves and for our lizards.  I don't know how anyone can keep their pets in 20 and 40 gallon tanks.  It seems really cruel after what we have now. 

Thank you again,"

"The cage when put up, was better quality than I expected.  The metal cage material was smooth and polished, unlike others I have seen. Overall, I am very please with the cage.  Nothing else out there I have seen comes close to the quality and attention to detail which you guys present."

"Hi there, I just wanted to thank you for the great cage. I have been admiring them for years but never had the money. I got laid off in December and figured, what the hell, so I spent some of my severance on a nice cage from you and a pair of Yellow Monitors. The cage was fairly easy to set up and is a breeze to maintain. Here are some photos, I'm still working on adding more branches and basking platforms. Thank you for providing a superior product, I would definitely recommend your cages to friends and buy more cages in the future. It's so much nicer than the one I built a few years ago for my ackies. Thanks again,"

"Thanks for awesome cage!!! I love it as much as my veiled chameleon "Ozzy". He feels right at home now that he is in his new pad. He used to be housed in a 30 gallon Terrarium and wanted out all the time. Now I cannot get him out of his new cage. Here are a few pics of "Ozzy". P.S. Delivery was prompt and all parts arrived as promised. Setup of my 4x4x2 cage took 2 adults about 3 hours to construct. I would recommend you guys to anyone."

""We all love the new Birdy Condo!  We had no problem getting the customized size cage we wanted, and it was a pleasure working with such super people.  "Casper" our cockatoo, likes to throw water at you, when vacuuming is done near his cage, but now with the "friendly feeder" system no water makes it to the floor.  Thanks for a cage we can appreciate for it's sound structure, affordablity, ease of cleaning, comfortable bird environment and of course the musem quality appearance."

"Hi Adam, 

One customer converted an entire room into a "Habitat Heaven" for his two Colombian Red-tailed Boa Constrictors. Afterward he faxed CagesByDesign a letter telling us how it went. In Dan's words "...reaction to the cage has been 100% positive...CagesByDesign as certainly surpassed my expectations, support from customer service is outstanding. I honestly recommend others consider this type of enclosure. For me, the cage was certainly worth every penny."

"AJ-
Here are the pictures of Larry enjoying his new cage - I didn't take one of the whole thing but its much bigger and cost less than any that I had seen at local stores. I was surprised at the ease that it took to put together and how quickly it went up - after the boxes were brought in and the parts sorted I was a little skeptical, but I was able to do the majority of it by myself. It took him a little running around and digging to get adjusted, but now that he is settled in he has started eating more (he had started losing weight before the move) and his personality is growing each day - we even have a chair set up next to his enclosure so that he can interact with our gray tabby cat Tobey (we don't quite trust the control he has over his catlike instincts enough yet to let them play without the barrier). We have been talking about getting him some buddies of his own kind and can hopefully act on that soon, after we get a few months of stability under his belt. Thank you for the quality cages that you provide - this one will definitely serve Larry, his buds, and those that will follow. I am more than pleased with the outcome of my cage - and can't wait to show it off. Thanks again!"

"The cage looks fantastic and is definitely the showpiece of the house. Below is my setup. I put it on top of a wet-bar (I took out the sink) and it looks as if it were made for the house. I spent a lot of time searching for the "dream cage" for my jungle-diamond carpet pythons and decided on a Custom Cage Reptile enclosure. I had it sized to exactly fit the wet bar I built it on, along with English Oak panels to match the oak wood of our den. It looks awesome with the Replica Rock ledges and has become a museum quality showpiece in our home. In addition to cage itself, however, I was most impressed with the service after my cage had arrived. I had a technical problem with the cage that took a little while to figure out. The Custom Cage consultant ("AJ") was patient and thorough in helping me solve and correct the problem. I am very happy with my Custom Cage."

"Hi, guys. We won the cage you had on display at the Chicago reptile show. I've taken a couple of pics of the cage. Zeke (the Iguana) is now living the high life. He loves it (and so do we). If you remember, Zeke was a rescue case. He had been abused by a young child when he came to us. Now, his life has turned around and he's healthy, happy, and getting bigger by the day. The new cage has really allowed him to sprawl out and get some exercise from the climbing. It has also become a piece of art in our living room. Thanks!"
