KayteeCritter Trail-2, Two Level Habitat Cage for Hamsters, Gerbils, Mice, Narrow Wire Spacing

Looks pretty but is really badly made. The parts don’t seem to fit together as they should and once the whole thing is assembled it is pretty much impossible to open the front cage door. ALSO this is NOT suitable for mice!! They can squeeze easily through the bars of the cage as mine has just done and she is now roaming around the house freely!! I have requested a refund.

Nightmare to clean as so many parts need to be disassembled to do so. It breaks far too easily which will definitely happen when you go to clean this. Worst of all, it is absolutely 100% NOT SUITABLE for Syrian hamsters. Replaced this with a proper wire cage habitat.

Firstly the local animal shelter would not allow me a hamster because they said this cage was too small. After I managed to get a smaller hamster with the agreement of extending the cage to make it bigger, the first night of the hamster being in it it managed to chew out of the top plastic blue part and was able to get out! Luckily I was around to stop it venturing!The second night the hamster spent in the cage the poor little thing was in the wheel and its hair became trapped :( the poor thing had a chunk of hair pulled out which broke my heart. I would not recommend this cage to anyone, it is not fair to put a hamster in here.

I was unsure when buying this cage because there are quite a few bad reviews.. but I always thought I could send it back. when it came which was very fast delivery! I do have to admit it was a pain to put together... but I have 3 dwarf hamsters and am sooooooo glad I spent my money on this. I know it is a bit pricey but such a good product. not only that but you can buy extensions and join 2 cages together so this is what I plan to do. they go on the wheel al the time and have had no problems they love it! there is a little hut in the roof of the cage that I fill with softer bedding and they sleep and love it. they love going up and down the tubes and seem very happy with the cage. only 1 thing I have to say.. my hamsters couldn't get he water from the bottle as the ball in the end of it is hard to move but luckily I had a different one so I attached that one. I don't know if mine was just a one off though. over all I love this cage and am very satisfying. if you are in the same situation I was about looking at the bad reviews and unsure I would rest assure it is a great cage! I would defiantly buy it agin!! if you do get it there are videos on youtube that helped me put it together that was very helpful.. but once you get past the first section thing of putting it together it is pretty straight forward. I am so pleased with this cage!! xx

delivery was great had to give this 5 stars dont know why so many bad reviews cause i love it very secure and escape prove my russian hamster revel is adopted and is scared of wheels dont know why and she is a bit crubby not my doing so she has to lose weight so i thought this would be a good idea cause the wheel is up top and doesnt look like a normal wheel and i was right she loves her new cage she is so happy and guess what she loves her wheel top marks very happy customer and hamster but a bit of warning not suitable for syrian hamsters too small

We ordered one of these cages from Amazon after reading a review and seeing vids on youtube, so glad we did, the first one that arrived had a broken clip on the top which was obviously not due to delivery but Amazon made it a breeze to return and get a new one sent out to us in a day of reporting it, Well done Amazon!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. :-)

Not suitable for Syrian hamsters it is far too small. This is only ok for dwarf hamsters

When I first bought this cage I thought it was fantastic. I then read some blogs and reviews about how there were so many areas where the hamster could escape from. I then set about taping the apparent problem areas and my hamster did live happily in the cage...... for about 4 months. What I didn't realise was that he was chewing through a plastic disc which was on the roof of the cage where you could add more accessories if so desired. I had taped this up to prevent it being pushed up, but the hamster chewed it off completely and subsequently NO HAMSTER. This looks good and does give the animal a lot of fun, but I would suggest it is for playtime only and not a place where you keep your hamsters on a regular basis. The cage has now taken up residence in the back garden - expensive ugly ornament
