Key Features

• Complete set in the box - house, feeder, automatic drinker, spiral slide and running wheel.
• Taller than it is wide, at 40.6 cm high on a 34.6 x 27.5 cm tray.
• Plastic tray cleans with household detergent and a rinse.
• No tools needed to put it together.
• Dayang supplies it in pink, blue, brown and red.

Available in: Pink, blue, brown or red. Colour is assorted and not selectable, so the one you receive may not match the photograph.

Good To Know

• Floor area is about 952 sq cm. Current welfare guidance puts the minimum unbroken floor for a Syrian hamster at around 4,000 sq cm, and tubes, shelves and upper storeys do not count towards it.
• Height suits mice and gerbils better than hamsters. A Syrian that falls from an upper level onto a hard tray can be badly hurt.
• Hamsters burrow. Give at least 15 to 20 cm of bedding depth in part of the enclosure. A hamster with nowhere to dig bar-chews instead, and bar-chewing is a sign of stress rather than boredom.
• Check the wheel. A Syrian hamster needs one of about 28 cm across or its back stays arched as it runs, and a dwarf needs about 20 cm. The wheel supplied with a cage this size is usually smaller than that and is worth replacing.
• Syrian hamsters live alone. Two in one cage will fight, often fatally, however well they got on as babies. Only some dwarf species tolerate company, and even then not reliably.
• Not a rabbit or guinea pig cage, whatever a listing says. Both need several times this floor area and solid flooring.
• Small rodents hide illness. A wet tail, laboured breathing, a wet chin, sudden weight loss or a hamster that stays shut in its house all day needs a vet who sees exotics, quickly.
