Yes, I like this case and I bought it to take on the plane but then I found out that is was 75.00 to bring the hamster! Wow! Case is great, my daughter packs her mini hamster around in this all the time. Very durable.

Well the best thing I can say is if you have a hamster it will be great but I miss read it and got it for a cat. Little small

It is cheap so my guinea pig can push it open, but I would think it would be fine for a hamster certainly in the car. For planes I am not sure, you may want something more sturdy.

I do not recommend this particular model, it is light weight and not very durable. I subject you get a havey duty carrier.

No, I have a medium to large sized cat (13 lb. selkirk rex) who fits in this carrier very well with room to move and turn around. I have used it for airplane travel as well and it fit comfortably on the plane. Best cat carrier I ever owned.

Yes they are good for traveling. The back of the package says "Where to use" and shows a van, plane and house.

IF using it to transport to Vet, or one house to another, then yes. It is NOT for full-time habitat. I used it to transport my Finches, but found it is a better transport for rodents or safe reptiles, but only for transport from one place to another and be sure to keep the carrier out of the Sun Light.

This carrier is WAY too flimsy for transporting an animal on public transportation. It's fine for your home. It's fine for transporting a dog to an obedience/agility trial; put it on a cart; you will not be able to carry it by the handle bcs it will too heavy with the pet inside. It probably is ok for transporting your pet in the car, but bungee it down for safety. I use mine for naps and overnights at home. mb

My little granddaughter takes her little hamster with her to visit her friends' house. That's why she wanted this. It works very well for that.

It is way too big for that kind of transportability. It's very light though. I would not recommend for plane or car

We are carrying a 16 nicer with this carrier. Though you have to be a little creative on how to fit it and to secure it. But for us it worked well and it did not fall off on multi hour drives ;)

yes it is a good little carrier. Its lightweight and easy to take on and off.

The crate is not as sturdy as past generation crates, but I reckon it would be acceptable for air travel. I'm not sure if they stack crates or how they are managed in planes. Nonetheless, it's a good, lightweight crate. It might be good to do a little research to see if there are other crates especially rated for air travel?

You can buy two, and depending on how you arrange them, you probably won't need more. But, you can buy one and the house, or two and the transport unit. I have two regulars, a house unit and an tower unit. Unfortunately my life has not been such, that I felt I could take on a couple of hamsters yet. Good luck with your hammies;]

It seems to me that this carrier would not be so good for a 3 day drive. Perhaps you can borrow a larger crate for that? I use this carrier to take my kitty to the vet, and it's fine for that.

Yes but it would be a tight fit. Probably wouldn't be good for long trips. I fit a 8 and 2lb in mine and they have a bit of room to maneuver in.

It is certainly durable. The large will be plenty roomy but will (unlikely, please check with your airline) not fit under airline seat. I recently heard of someone storing their pet in the overhead in which case the large would work. Your pet would also fit into the medium size carrier and have room to turn around, but that's about it. The medium size carrier would fit under an airline seat and make an excellent car seat. The pet can sit up very comfortably while being "wheeled" around with the convertible top open (there is a security leash attachment to avoid their escape) &#128522;

If it is for traveling with the pet in-cabin, it seems it may NOT work. The carrier must fit under the front seat. Check with the airline you will use. But I checked in the United Airlines and it says that for hard carriers the measurements must be: 17.5x12x7.5. This carrier is based on my quick measurement: 18.5x9.75x11 (however, online it is: 19x12.6x5 inches. The 5 inches is half the height as when it is folded in half). You may want to check with the airline you are planning on using. For in-cabin pet travel, I use the soft carriers when I travel with my cat. United web site: http://www.united.com/web/en-US/content/travel/animals/in_cabin.aspx If your pet has to be "shipped" because it cannot travel in-cabin, I would NOT recommend this carrier since it is way to soft for shipping. I would look for something made of harder material. I use this carrier to transport my dwarf rabbit from home to the vet or to get his nails done. But not for long trips since the material is soft. Hope this helped!

Hello Joyceleane.....I checked the carrier to see if it would tell if it is approved for airline travel, but therewasn't any info on the carrier. The door front is metal...the rest of the construction is plastic. Size is for a pet up to 15 lb. I'm sorry I couldn't answer you question.
