Question

Hi,

I'm getting a syrian hamster soon and wanted to know which one of these cages would be best.

1. SAM here and there traveler 2 (http://www.petco.com/product/100111/SAM-Here-and-There-2-Home-and-Traveler.aspx)

2. Super Pet Crittertrail 2 (http://www.petco.com/product/11499/Super-Pet-CritterTrail-Two.aspx)

3. Pink Princess Castle Habitat (http://www.petco.com/product/12916/Pink-Princess-Castle-Habitat.aspx)

Answer 1

I would get super crittertrail 2 cuz its TOTALLY AWSOME!!! If you can't get that one then get pink princess castle habitat its awsome also :()

Answer 2

Your links don't work but iv'e had two of them and typed in Crittertrail 2 into google.

SAM here and there T2:

Good Bits...

Easy to clean

Nice colours

Keeps Hamster entertained

Bad bits...

Rubbish Wheel

Bad water bottle

I like that hamster cage as a starter but I think if you were getting a syrian you would have to upgrade after a while.

Super Per C2...

Good bits...

Good sized tubes

Sturdy

Entertains

Bad bits...

The top bit at the lid, breaks off

Don't like the yellow colour in it

Nice sturdy cage but the lid breaks off and my hamster can poke it open!

Pink Princess Castle Habitat

Good bits...

It's pink!

Lovley size for 1 syrian or 2 dwarfs

Good sized tubes

Bad bits...

c**p Water bottle

Nothing else.

Out of all the cages i would say this cage is the best but it's up to you! If your Hammy's a boy please, dont get the pink one, I don't think you get g*y Hamsters LOL!

Have fun! =]

Answer 3

Crittertrail2 out of these. I prefer the X and dazzle. I have had almost all the cages they make except the pink cage and 2. As far as escaping goes, put a clasp on the door like i do to prevent them from leaving.

Answer 4

Hi the critter trail or the princess castle are good ones to get,

but I would avoid cages with plastic grips to hold them in place (holding the bottom of the cage together) and any where the weal has a gap behind it depending on the shape of the cage.

If this is your first time with a hamster your in for noisy nights ahead,

also hamsters are grate ESCAPE ARTISTS, hamsters make grate little companions and have grate little characters, when you find a cage you like make sure there is plenty of room for your hamster to move around in you can also use cardboard tunnels for them to play in and chew.

my hamsters have escaped a few times, i found on down stares in the coat cupboard and one in my bedside Cabernet lol, hamsters will do just about anything to be out of there cage. Once tame they will want to be petted even more.

good luck with your hammy.

Answer 5

Everyone says the links don't work... they do (you accidentally added a bracket at the end of them so next time, please double check the links before you submit the question).

Personally, I prefer the Crittertrail 2 for a number of reasons.

Here are the pro's -

1) It offers the hamster the most room out of all the cages in your price range.

2) My first hamster had this cage and I found it very good - the build quality, the colours and layout of the inside.

3) The sleeping area's design is superb - very easy to open and clean without having to unassemble the whole cage.

And here are the con's -

1) The door hatch's are very bad (the hamster can easily open them).

2) As my hamster grew, it became harder and harder for him to get to the sleeping area at the top (the tube is very narrow).

I hope this helped with your decision.

Answer 6

the link does bring you to a petco site, but it says sorry your item is not available for viewing.

Answer 7

Your hyperlinks were not working but I knew all of them! I suggest getting the *pink princess habitat* (I got the crittertrail 2, Crittertrail Z, and Crittertrail outlook) *I have 3 hamsters!!!!*
