Excellent cage for hamsters that love to climb!
My hamster Evie was in a longer, low ,tank style cage, but was constantly trying to climb. I purchased this cage because of it's height and full levels, although I was concerned that it wasn't as long as I would have liked. Evie is a small Syrian hamster, so I decided to try the cage anyway. I was really impressed with the speed of delivery - I ordered on a Sunday afternoon before a Bank Holiday Monday and the cage was delivered on Wednesday. The cage was well packaged and in perfect condition. The bars are quite strong. I decided to only use one of the included levels to allow me to use taller toys in both spaces and I constructed some smaller wooden shelves for additional space and to prevent Evie from falling too far. I would have preferred the base to be a little deeper, to stop the substrate from falling out, but at approx. 10cm deep, it isn't as shallow as many cages and I simply stood the cage inside of a deeper tray to catch the mess! Evie seems really settled in this cage and, despite my fears, it does give her plenty of space to explore, especially with the extra levels. I would recommend this cage for smaller Syrians who enjoy climbing, or dwarf hamsters, as the bars are narrow. Large Syrians would probably benefit from a longer cage.
