Wooden Small Animal Cage Small Pet Crates-Warm House

This really is a hamster mansion. It is huge with plenty of space for hamsters to run and play. The big acrylic windows allow you to see all of your furry friend's activities while the ramps and houses provide ample hiding spots. There is enough room on the lowest level for a full-sized (10-inch) exercise wheel. Overall a great house but there are a few cons: 1. It is wood so some modifications will need to be made to prevent chewing and also water damage from leaky water bottles and/or animal urine. I used waterproof contact paper and a square of plastic dollhouse "linoleum" flooring under the water bottle. 2. The bottom panel is not anchored down and doesn't cover all edges and corners. You will need to put something underneath to catch bedding and prevent damage to surfaces underneath. 3. Assembly... not difficult, but the holes are not predrilled so if you're not careful and don't line it up exactly, you could end up with something a little crooked or wobbly.
Anyway, this cage is gorgeous as is, but if you're a hobbyist, there are endless possibilities for personalizing this cage for your critter. So far a very happy hamster!

I am not sure what other people had problems with putting this together because I think it was pretty easy compared to Ikea furniture. Sure it doesn't have written-out steps, but the pictures are pretty self-explanatory. Took my partner and me about 10 minutes. That being said, it is definitely easier with two people.
The wood is great and lightweight making it easy to move around and pick up, especially when doing modifications and changing stuff, the way I did. If you plan on painting the outside (like I did) plan on 2x the paint, it really soaks it up and you will need two layers.
That being said, yes, this will definitely be an easy enclosure for your hamster to chew through. However, the whole point of having a huge enclosure like this, is to have tons of room and space and toys and so much for them to do that they don't even think about chewing the walls because there's so much to do. I will update with pictures once I finish the enclosure, but I plan to pack it with tons to explore.

Anyway, as I said, this piece needs lots of modifications (and tons of hamster research) before using, but gosh it's just so beautiful and I love it anyway! Much love to your little pets!

The cage has a lot of space and is easy to assemble.

It is very easy to use, and easy to clean. The wood is also very thick, but it is necessary to properly lay a layer at the bottom to prevent hamsters from gnawing it.

This product was much easier to put together than expected. The instructions are lacking but it’s easy to figure out by looking at the picture, just make sure you put the back piece on the correct way before you screw if together! The blocks that hold the platforms should be closer to the bottom of the cage. It’s very sturdy yet light weight and out hamster seems to really enjoy it. It seems a bit pricey to me especially since there is still assembly required. And you need to make sure you have a waterbottle that fits in the hole that’s there. It looks much nicer than the average hamster cage too.
