Wonderful home, April 25, 2005
This review is from: S.A.M. Park Avenue Duplex (Misc.)
This cage is amazing! I had to buy a new cage after my hamster chewed a hole in the plastic lid of her old home (Super Critter Trail 3). My hammie is 16 months old & until this cage she was very inactive! Would sleep for days on end; at times not even bothering to get up & get fresh food for 3-4 days. I had a very hard time cleaning the old cage due to her sleeping so much & her being aggressive when I did clean it; I got bit very hard once & since that incident she became a nipper. Eventually, I stopped trying to tame her & started coaxing her into a ball to clean her cage. I have a completely different hamster with this cage! She is now very active & is not lethargic. She likes to play in her wheel (which she never did before) as well as likes going through all the tubes. I am very pleased as she was getting very plump. She is no longer hoarding her food, due to the food container design & is eating less. She also comes to greet me when I am near the cage & no longer tries to nip at me when I let her smell my hand. I've also noticed that she now makes different noises to show different emotions (or what I would call emotions). The cage design is great, she cannot chew on any of the plastic parts. I no longer have to disturb her when I clean her cage, you can block off the top or bottom section. I would definitely recommend this cage. I've only had it a couple of weeks & my hamster is so much friendlier. I cannot say enough good things about it, my only regret is that I did not buy it for my hammie sooner.

Great house for my hammie, December 9, 2004
This review is from: S.A.M. Park Avenue Duplex (Misc.)
This is a great house for my hamster. He was previously housed in a ten gallon fish tank, and he didn't even have a wheel. He would sleep all day and all night, and I began to worry about him, especially when I read that hamsters can die from understimulation. So I bought him this cage, and ever since I did, he has been so active and happy. He loves the wheel, and the tubes, and he plays all night. I've even been able to start hand-training him, and we are making great progress, in just a week. It's like having a brand new hamster. And this cage has plenty of room for a teddy bear hasmter, and would probably be even better for a darf. A very large teddy bear hamster might have trouble with this cage, because my guy is about average, and he just fits in the tubes, and he doesn't really like the look-out tower, because he is cramped in there. But other than that, this is a great cage. And, with my hamster being the chewer he is (he went through three water bottles in a couple of months), the best part of this cage is that the hamsters don't come in contact with any of the plastic parts. There is always metal between the hamster and the plastic. My mother used to have these plastic cages, and the hasmters would always chew their way out of them, but with this cage, that is not possible. And the food that comes with it is a great mixture, and it's a big bag. I highly recommend this product.

Watch out for the automatic feeder, October 25, 2005
This review is from: S.A.M. Park Avenue Duplex (Misc.)
In general, I really like SAM products for my large teddy bear hamster. This cage comes with an automatic feeder though and I have found those to be a problem as more food doesn't always flow through "automatically" once he has finished the food he can reach, so the hamster can end up going hungry. Thus, the one caution I would issue with this cage is if you use the automatic feeder be sure your hamster is actually getting enough food. I supplement my automatic feeder with an extra food dish in my hamster's cage for safety sake. It's normal for a hamster to store extra food in his cage. This feeder shouldn't be used as a way to reduce the amount of a food a hamster gets so much that he doesn't store food.
