Perfect-sized cage for a Syrian Hamster!

This is the PERFECT SIZED CAGE for a Syrian Hamster! Highly recommend! The tubes are bigger for them too! The cages sold at pet stores and online for hamsters are only good for dwarf hamsters. We can not be more happy with this, especially Hammy our hamster! Directions to put it together were not hard to understand and was pretty easy. Exercise wheel is 7 inches in diameter- perfect for him to grow in. Huts, dishes, ramps, potty are all good sized. No problem with water bottle leaking (placed it on upper level). We did add another glass one on opposite side of cage on the bottom tray. Thank you Amazon for having this available to buy here in the states. When it wasn't available early last week I panicked! I searched other online sites that were out of the country (this cage is made in Belgium) and they wouldn't ship to the US and if they did, it was a fortune! I'm so glad I checked back on Wednesday and saw that it was restocked. Shipped to our house in 2 days with Prime! Awesome!

I chose this cage because it has a tube and a wheel, things which my son was particularly looking forward to seeing his hamster use. The hamster LOVES the cage. He nests in the petting zone, which is nice for us because he's right there for us to pet most of the time. I clean the petting zone twice a week and the rest of the cage once a week, and, so far, that seems to keep the smell down. You can take the petting zone out with the hamster in it, plug the open end, and then clean the rest of the cage while the hamster is contained. It's great! Then when I need to clean the petting zone, I just put him in the lower area and take the petting zone to the trash can. The tube also comes off easily for cleaning (since my hamster likes to fill it with bedding).

In hindsight, I'm not sure the wheel was the best choice. The hamster loves it, it rotates just like it's supposed to. But when he poops in there or takes food and bedding in there and then tries to run, it flings it all around the cage, the table it's on, and even the floor. Not ideal (especially since I have a crawler in the house. Eww), but he's only taken bedding in there once. The other night, though, he had ONE piece of food in there with him. At 3am I woke up to a "clackety-clack, clackety-clack" noise; the food was rolling around the wheel as he ran. I had to get it out of there so I could go back to sleep! (No, the hamster isn't in our room---I could hear it from the living room).

My biggest qualm, though, is the awful water bottle. It's REALLY hard to get on and off the cage, you can't easily see how much water is left in it, and the hamster doesn't seem to be able to get much out of it. We got another, standard water bottle for the cage. We had a heck of a time attaching the new one because the bars of the cage are so close together, and the bar that holds on the bottle that came with it was making things difficult. Worth it, though, since the hamster has clearly had more to drink since we got the new bottle.

In short, the hamster loves the cage, and we like it. I just can't wait until my son is a little older so he can help with the cleanup! :)

We bought this cage for our adopted green cheek conure. It's the perfect size for him and could fit 2 small birds. Doors and openings lock and secure great.

Nice basic habitat for our new hamster.  The wheel is a little louder than I thought it would be, but I like how it has an integrated lid - no parts to lose.  And the cats can't get in.  We can see her anytime we want.  The pink and purple is really cute and it is a good size - big enough for a Winter White hamster and complete with everything you need.  I loved Habitrail when I was a kid and I still do!

It is our first day using this cage! My winter white hamster, Chibi, settled in quick. I love looking at her in this cage as it is see through and you can really see her running on her wheel, eating, and playing! I really like how a wheel, a food bowl, and a water bottle already came with the cage! I also love the loft. And the food bowl is great- it holds a good amount of food and Chibi really likes to sit in it when she eats. However, I took off a star because THERE IS ONE MAJOR PROBLEM! Chibi loves to use the wheel (which is not noisy really) but there is a long and thin gap at the bottom of the wheel that she gets her foot stuck in when she is running. She is able to pull her foot out, at least for now, but this is a very dangerous addition to the wheel!

Perfect size for our Syrian long haired hamster. If you don't have a dwarf hamster, you should get this sized wheel.

This is great for a hamster.  I highly recommend it.

The cage is not bad.  It is a great size for a larger hamster at a good price.  The wire is a little flimsy.  Having wire as the second level is not great, we put cardboard underneath for the hamster's comfort on the upper deck.  The wheel is useless for a larger hamster but that can be replaced.

I have three dwarf hamsters, for a dwarf hamster this cage does everything very good. I have summarized all of the good points below.

Pluses

Size- The area of this cage is an average size I measured about 10" X 15" but the cage is also very tall 15" the cage is plenty big enough for one dwarf hamster.

Ventalation- very good being a wire cage.

Water bottle- The standard Criter trail one with a ball to keep it from leaking.

Wheel- good size for dwarf hamsters but small for a regular hamster.

Expantion- there are up to four places to expand with tubes the most I have seen on a cage.

Access- This is very good with a removable top and two doors.

Design- My hamsters like all of the tubes and platforms. The platform hieghts are adjustable and it is easy to see the pets in the cage. I think the design is very good.

Cleaning- like most modern cages the cleaning is easy the bottom is easilly removed for cleaning.

Additional items

One pound of Keytee forti diet hamster and gerbil food the protien is a min. Of 13.5%
2 large chew treats.

10 oz of soft granule blend small pet bedding. This works great underneath the regular bedding.

Overall you should be very happy with this product. I got it for $42 it was a very good deal.

This cage is perfect for my green cheek conure. We purchased the largest size so she would have some wiggle room. Initially, I thought she wouldnt be able to use to bowls or the perches because of their large size, but she is able to use both! A few of the bars were bent but I was able to bend them back into place. The instructions do suck but with two people, it was quick and easy to put together. I do recommend this cage for medium size birds like conures and cockatiels!

We have 2 of these larger/2 level cages from SAM/Penn Plax.  Gotta say I love these!  Tons of room and come apart so easily for cleaning.  All the upper parts just snap right out and all the mess is contained nice in the "bin"/lower level.  Easily big enough for a hamster as a single cage.  I know there's the issue of ventilation, but as long as it's in a climate controlled area and is cleaned regularly, it shouldn't matter too much.  Only thing really bad is the wheel is noisy, but they all are on any cage, except the "silent" ones that are sold seperatly at most pet stores.

This cage is sooooo much bigger than I expected!!!!! It's great! Kind of hard to put together but once you figured out what you did, it's a great cage. The section part with a ramp can be close so it's easy to clean, also it can be moved so your you can use one half as a play pen and one for eating and drinking. Or one side as a litter box and one side as something else..it doesn't have to be in the middle either, it can go in any place or it can be taken out easily. The top fits snug.. Wireing is small and not flimsy, but I'd watch a couple of days if you have a hamster just to be sure.

These are great!  They are just the right size for dwarf hamsters and come in nice colors.  I eventually got two so I can have a clean one ready to go every week.  When I first got one, my hamster, Pumpkin, explored all over it including trying to climb on top!  It is slippery being ceramic, so he didn't quite make it.  Now he enjoys going in there and rolling around to his heart's content. Oh, and I put the Chinchilla Bath Sand (not the dust which is not good for hamsters, since it bothers their respiratory system.) in it.  We both like it!

This is a VERY pink cage that my 5 year old daughter loves!!!  It is a great size for a dwarf hamster, especially once you add on some of the tubes and such.  The top part that lifts out is great!! If you are getting a bigger hamster or gerbils, you will probably need lots of tubes or another cage to supplement.  So far, the hamster has not been able to escape, although she doesn't seem to be a big chewer.  The cage was very easy to assemble.  Ours did have a small plastic piece that was broken when we opened the box, but that didn't change how the parts went together, therefore we didn't return it.

Love it! Good size and can set it up in different ways. I use it for a Syrian Hamster. I only wish it came with an easy to clean floor pad.

This is my hamster's favorite spot! He's a pretty large Campbell's dwarf hamster, and he fits just fine inside the nook. The water nozzle is incredibly convenient, although it will leak if the cage floor is uneven. This can be easily remedied by putting a dish of some sort underneath the bottle or simply moving it to portion of the cage with a flat floor.

This was a great buy!
