We would recommend this for guinea pigs as smaller pets might squeeze themselves through the bars or climb their way out. For smaller pets, you can use the Tespo Pet Playpen Animal Fence Cage Exercise Pen Crate Kennel Hutch for Small Animals, Bunny, Rabbit, Puppy & Guinea Pigs, Indoor 12 Panels.
If one MidWest Homes for Pets Small Animal Pen seems too small, get two of them to get more room.
If you are wondering what the material covering used is, it is a waterproof twin mattress cover.
