Opossum seems to like it

I bought this to be an indoor home for my opossum for the coldest months because he's a wussy and I already have a cat and several bunnies free ranging so I want him contained. He seems to like it. I like that the wires are in between wooden pieces so he can't peel them or bust through them. It could be sturdier but then I imagine it would also be more difficult to assemble. I have no construction experience other than the odd bookshelf and I put this together with a driver in about an hour. Overall, I'd buy another one if I needed it.
I bought this on sale and I'm glad I did. If I had payed full price I would've been overly disappointed by this product. Delivery was super fast but thats where the good pretty much ends. The instructions are readable but not what I would call easy. I had to adjust several things to make sure things would line up in the end (so that the last pieces could even be put on). You gotta guess where you have to screw in the screws because the holes aren't predrilled. Speaking of screws, several were missing. They sent 3 of the same side where there should've been 2 and 2. The hay tray is so small that it's almost useless and the rabbits don't eat out of it either. And to top it all of the paint on the whole thing looks like it could've been done by a kid. They should've put at least another layer of paint on it to cover up the original wood. And why not also stamp a part number on the most obvious and easily seen place on the whole thing.
Trust me, if this is not on sale when you buy it: don't. The quality and price does absolutely not match.
Even after measuring and visualizing this cage, it is way tiny when you get it together. We have a small Dutch rabbit and wanted to get another for friendship. But, once I got in the litter box, water, food, hay holder --- some on the bottom level, some on the top---there is barely room for a bunny to run around any at all. He just wants out! Anything bigger than babies or mini's wouldn't work. It's cute, just wish it was bigger!
We are using this hutch for our 6 young chickens. They are still too young to go outside but they had outgrown the metal bin we were keeping them in and seriously needed an up-grade. I love this hutch! I add grass clippings since they don't get to experience a real chicken run yet. They put themselves to bed in the elevated second floor portion of the hutch. I wish the inner ladder was able to hook on and off so I could remove it easily for cleaning but it screws in.
