Great cage if you can beat the tube assembly learning curve...December 28, 2007 Sato Yuriko 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
THE GOOD: When I got the cage and opened the box, I knew it was good quality. The colors were nice and it was larger than the previous cage. Kyoko seemed to like it just as much as she spent at least 2 or more hours climbing everywhere, smelling this and running over that.
She seemed to avoid the tubes at first but a little re-configuration seemed to solve that. She still prefers climbing the cage walls then the tubes though. The main plus her is that she fits and can move (she is a golden Syrian hamster.)
She has been chewing on the cage and it has yet to show signs of wear. It is still as strong as the day I bought it.
THE BAD: The assembly was straight forward but putting the tubes together was frustrating. It took many trials to perfectly line up the notches and then to only turn it enough to secure the tubes but not too much or it'll pop back out... (>_<)
Also, my hamster has an appetite for plastic often ignoring the little wood chew sticks I give her. She managed to gnaw threw the plastic corner piece at the top so I had to use alternative means to secure it.
THE UGLY: I was thankful for the litter pan until she decided to make her nest in that even after using it a few times. After that, I set up the little house with shredded paper towels and filled the main box with bedding. The box was filled with premium cat litter. She'd use it normally but after a few days shed cover it with bedding then. I still can't figure out why the change... I just dump the box litter every other day now.
OVERALL: This cage was worth the money but the tube assembly (and easily chewed plastic) may frustrate you (^_^).
I ordered this cage and received it BUT..August 1, 2007 Cheryl B. Scillian 5 out of 12 found this review helpful
The hampster cage came in a outside Amazon box and the inside Company box which seemed to have been retaped was missing 6 parts and one wire was broken! Someone had been in this box. There was a paper in the box to order parts which I did this morning from N.J. AND I am in Al. The company was very nice and said they would send me the parts. I hope so. But this hampster cage DID NOT COME LIKE IT WAS SUPPOST TO! I ordered a new one,too.
I want to buy it when i get my little hamsterMarch 29, 2007 3 out of 48 found this review helpful
It sound like a great cage from what I've read. I'm not saying you have to buy it or it's the best cage in the world it's just the best I've seen so far.So if you see a cage that has all the stuff that you need in there go ahead and buy it. Well thats all I have to say hope I helped!
