Answer 1

Why I don't like the Habitrail OVO -

1.It looks like a plastic igloo and I outright felt that my dwarfie would feel like a prisoner it it.

2.It does not allow good ventilation like wire cages.

3.It looks very colorful and cute display wise but too congested inside for enough space for my hammy.

4.The tubes (sold separately as attachments) look too complicated, my hammie would definitely fall down unless he is really careful climbing in it which is not what the tubes are meant for.

5.The water bottle for the hamster is placed at the top in the model with the tubes and tunnels (in the normal OVO, is in the side) which can be accessed only by a hard climb through the tubes - when my hammie is thirsty, I don't want him climbing so long to get his water.

6.Finally it definitely needs more effort to clean its complicated apparatus compared to normal cages.

Answer 2

The bad thing about plastic is it easily chips and breaks (certain parts are not replaceable), but it is quieter b/c your hamster won't be as likely to chew it as cage and if he does it won't be as noisy. Another downfall, is the plastic tubings encourage peeing in the tubes. This dries and is very difficult to clean, and the air holes will drop bedding material out of the cage if you put any in there. Lastly, depending on the size of hamster you have, this might not be large enough. They grow and sometimes don't fit in the tubes anymore.
