a truely PERFECT hamster habitat
other websites may have negative reveiws. Do NOT let them disuade you. this cage is easy to put together and very escape proof: IF YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS! I have tested out all of the components of this cage vigorously and have found it to be VERY well put together. The caps that block off some of the tunnel passages you don't use are VERY sturdy. I was actually able to pic the entire suite up by the cap carry it around and put it back on the table (do not try this at home). The only problem as has been said is that the water-bottle leaks but this is only if it wiggles around alot so make sure you secure it firmly. I also found that putting a tiny piece of paper near the hole makes the leaking stop while still allowing drinking but just to be safe I think you should use the feeding trough or another toy as a water basin.
The feeding area and wheel take up an AWFUL lot of space but they are very easy to remove and do not leave any naked areas where your hamster could chew to get out (I had a cage with a hole in it for the wheel and the hamster tore it apart)However if you buy two of these cages (they're big enough to comfortably house two hamsters each but you could REALLY spoil them by buying one cage for each and connecting them) this problem of space is easily avoided making one area the exercise and eating area and another area a play and rest area (you can easily fit two wooden houses in this habitat with the wheel/feeding area removed and still have room for toys).
It's hard to find attachments for this habitat online (other than the ones avaliable in this sweet suite set :P) but you should be able to find more tunnels and attachment areas at your local petsmart (they carry this cage but petco doesn't). I can't give a full reveiw without knowing the attachments but if worse comes to worse you can buy a BUNCH of dens (they attach very easily at any level and thanks to the special lock they stay in place.
The only downside is that the tunnels are halved (I find halved tunnels more annoying that the whole ones even though they're easier to clean) but the lock connectors keep them together very well (once again I could pick the entire suite up carry it around and put it back)
I do not however reccomend this as a travel cage since it's very large and the lock pieces can be a bit annoying but the habitrail brand offers some very nice small cages perfect for travel.More detail ...
