"...The cage itself is well designed and sturdy. If you are in the market for a new cage, I’d highly recommend this one!" Read more
"...Second came packaged better. The plastic is thin so it cracks easily. Came with lots of parts. Easy to assemble." Read more
Customers have mixed opinions about the size of the animal cage. Some find it roomy for a dwarf hamster, while others say it's too small for hams. Some customers also mention that the water bottle is small and the wheel sizes are too small. Overall, the opinions are mixed and the product is recommended for mice.

The doors are quiet to open, and the butter treat keeps the wheel from squeaking. However, some customers also mention that after reassembling the cage, the enclosure becomes even less structurally sound. It can be difficult to get the silent spinner wheels through the bars to attach, and they rattle together when it moves fast.

"...However, it worked perfect for our space. The cage itself is well designed and sturdy...." Read more
"...Works great." Read more

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
So, to Amazon I went, and I searched for a new place to give them. I saw this one at the local pet store, actually, but of course the price was not that great, so I took a chance and ordered it even though the reviews seem pretty mixed here. I wasn't sure if the bars were going to be small enough to prevent escapes, but I figured I could just return it (because Amazon is awesome) if they weren't.
Well, Teddy and George are both ecstatic with their new home! It took them a short while to figure out the tubes, but they literally had never climbed anything other than wire before. They are both a lot more active with so many things to do in their cage (prior to this, in the aquarium, they had one wooden two story house and a saucer to run on) and so many places to climb. I think the only "downfall" if it can be called that is that it has made it slightly more cumbersome to try to encourage them to participate in cuddle time -- they like to run into the tubes and wait my hand out, lol -- but I think this can be avoided if I used the petting zone as a petting zone. They also like to bed down in the petting zone, so I like that feature.
The cage includes a plug you can use to keep them contained in the petting zone. It will come in handy for cleaning the cage when the time comes. Also included are a food dish, an exercise wheel, and a water bottle. We did not use the water bottle because we had a nicer transparent one already. The exercise wheel is great and quiet, which I've learned is kind of a big deal (especially in the middle of the night when squeaky wheels can be really annoying!) And the food dish is solid, so no complaints there.
We also had no problems putting this together, my 7-yr-old and I, because the instructions were exact and easy to follow. The mice, again, love it, so I would definitely recommend this for mice. It is pretty difficult trying to shop for the little critters when you're jumping in to ownership for the first time... At least, it was for me!
I hope this review can help anyone else with mice trying to find the proper enclosure. I'll try to post a picture later, but so far all I have is a video of me adoring them and them comfortably grooming each other in the petting zone :) It's cute but doesn't really show how great the product is so I am not posting it!
Arrival
This arrived completely undamaged and with all the parts. No issues at all with damage to the plastic parts.
Putting it together
This was a bit of a concern as I was afraid to snap the wrong pieces together and have them not come back apart or to just break something trying to get it to fit! So I went slowly and carefully through the steps to piece it together. I did have a wire bent that made it difficult to get the cage lowered into the base, but I fixed it with needle nosed pliers. I don't know that it even came that way - hiubby may have done it being to forceful trying to make it fit! So be careful and if it isn't fitting right away - look for little bends in the wire or make small adjustments to how you are fitting it down as it might be stuck up on the plastic on one side!
Cleaning
I have no issues taking it apart for cleaning and putting it back together. The side tube comes out easily enough and then you unclip the sides and remove the bottom. The shelves are also easily removed and the top nest comes right out as well so I have no issues at all with cleaning it.
Bars
As with any bars, I was concerned about escape, but so far that has not been an issue at all. Either they don't want to or can't! The bars are the narrowest that I have seen on cages of this type.
Wheel
The wheel is super quiet and one of our mice LOVES the wheel and goes as fast as she can so no issues there either.
Top level - split
I didn't love that the top level was split rather than a full floor so I solved that by buying a rope and twig bird ladder with a very narrow spacing between the pieces so it was more like a little floor. I clipped it to either side of the cage and it mostly sits on the level then goes straight across to the other side creating more of a full second floor. The mice love it and race back and forth or go up one tube, across and down the other!
Water bottle
Now on this item, I agree with other reviewers that it's not safe for small animals. My mice are rather young and the bottle is spring loaded so I was concerned about them being able to press it back to drink. So I picked up another water bottle where the ball moves up and down the tube freely and used that instead rather than take a risk.
Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase and if we get another set of mice in addition to these, I would definitely purchase again!

Well onto the review.... what a fabulous cage, needs some skill to put together but once you have done it once it is a breeze to do, some folks have said it is hard to clean this cage but me and my wife have found it no harder than the simple plastic cage that we got with our mouse....
Just shoo your critters into the bedroom?petting area, lift it out and cap the opening with the provided stopper, put them to one side where they can watch you clean their house, clip the pipes of each side of the cage and unclip the two bottom clips the whole top of the cage lifts off in one piece allowing you to empty out the base and clean it down, the shelves just slot over the cage bars and remove simply to wash them down, we use a bucket with mild disinfectant in and separate all the pieces to wash, rinse and dry them, takes about 20 mins in total and the plastic is microantibacterial coated to provide better protection. they clip back together easily and if you expand the system with the critter trail expansion kits your mouse/hamster will love you forever lol.
Also to note is that Amazon send out the latest version of this cage which has spring loaded catches on the doors and external water bottle and is much improved on the earlier version. :-)
