  1. looks good, but it might get stuck in the tubes.


  2. Yes, that is a great cage! Plenty of room. Its really good that that cage is new and never used. The only thing that might be uncomfortable for your hamster at first is the steepness of the ladder. He might be afraid to go up it first because it is all new to him. Just be patient and in a couple of days he will probably get the hang of it.

    The only down side to this cage is that if you look on the top level, you can see that the floor is barred, not solid like the bottom level. This can be painful for the hamster to walk on, and they can sometimes loose limbs if they get caught between the grid bars. What you can do though is put a soft removable covering over the bars though to make it safe, or even just put 2 or 3 pieces of newspaper over the bars to make it solid. Just make sure that if you do use newspaper, it is hamster safe. They will end up eating the newspaper and the ink can be toxic.

    Other than that, great cage overall =D

  3. That is a very good cage for your hamster! It's roomy, and has a little house for him to get nice and cozy in.

    What you might do for the bars though, because those wouldn't be hammie-safe, or comfortable, is put maybe two or pieces of paper over the bars, and maybe spread a little bit of bedding over it, so that way they have something to get nice and snug with and wont tear up the paper just as fast.

    They could also take the bedding into their little house, and make themselves at home.

    Also, if your syrian hamster gets too big, it may not be able to fit in the tubes anymore, so you need to make sure theres plenty of room in there, so they won't get stuck.

    But other than that, I say its a very nice little hammy house.
