I just bought this last week, and so far- it's doing a great job.

Advantages:
-The bedding stays inside the cage, even though she loves to burrow.
-It's easy to attach fun-nels to (although my pet wants nothing to do with them- she's either strange for a dwarf hamster, or a bit uncertain, being only a baby)
-The cage is petite and doesn't take up much space. However, she still has plenty of room, even with a small igloo in there.
-It's well ventilated and secure, so she can breathe easily without me fearing her escaping.
-The roof is easy to remove in order for cleaning

Disadvantages:
-I ended up throwing out the water bottle after a couple of hours because she couldn't figure out how to use it. I bought her a separate water bottle and she was very parched, drinking for several minutes before settling down. I heard others don't have problems with it though, so again, it could be that she's so young and gets frustrated easily.
-I think the food bowl, while in a convenient place, is sort of small, but that's only my personal opinion.
-The "silent and safe" wheel is safe, but you could never call it silent. At all. I always know when she's awake (around 3 a.m. every night) because her running wakes me up.
-I wish there was another door on the side of the cage, or that there was a removable tray, but that's just me being picky.

After reading other product reviews and getting feedback from other hamster owners, I still say this is worth the price and the easiest design with the least bit of fuss. It may be a bit too small for a regular sized Syrian hamster, but for a dwarf, mouse, or gerbil- it's perfect!

I just purchased this product on Saturday and LOVE IT!!!! I have 3 dwarf hamsters, one of them just cannot get along with the others so I have had to go to having two cages.

I dislike the water bottle and have bought one that will hang on the wire side. This has made it perfect!! I have ordered a second one of these for the other two so that I can add the expansion sets and value pack Fun-nels to make them a maze of tunnels and adventures.

I bought this cage as an add-on to the CritterTrail Revolution. It would be a little small to be the main habitat, but Bullet (a robo dwarf hamster) is happy with it as a stop on her "tube trail." The wheel is a bit noisy -- but most wheels are. The cage has kept her secure, and that's what matters when you've got a 2-inch pet that moves like a rocket. It's easy to clean, and great for travel.

Good mouse habitat. Its perfect for a smaller animal and saves space, but i do not recomend it for a full sized hamster, gerbil or anything larger.

I have a little robo hamster and this cage is a perfect habitat for her. The cage comes with a mini food dish (which works great for the size of robo hamsters), a water bottle (which leaks a lot and should be replaced with bottles with anti-leakage technology), and a wheel. The hamster especially loves the wheel, spending hours and hours playing in it every night. I also purchased the expansion kit so that the hamster will have her little room for napping and hiding.

I bought this for my dwarf hamster, knowing i'd be going on a trip soon. It was a lot smaller then my last cage i had, and i never planned on it being the primary cage, but, my hamster fell in love with it. So, it being a lot smaller, i was able to put it on my desk, it was a lot better then the big old yellow cage. The wheel is anything but quiet though, and the waterbottle might take some getting use too, but my little hamster got use to it easy.

We purchased this cage in early January, and the first time I washed it (which was about a week after we started using it) I noticed a crack in the bottom tray of the cage. I super glued it, and it has been fine since. I was scared I was going to break it when I was taking it apart to clean because it becomes quite flimsy when you take the lid off, but I eventually learned how to handle it. Don't get the wrong idea, I'm actually pretty satisfied with this cage. We bought it along with a bigger one to connect them together. The main reason we purchased it is so we could travel with it b/c of it's small size. We took it on a weekend trip with two of our Winter White hamsters, and it did it's job. I am finding out that the plastic cages (like this one) are cool because of their tunnels and accessories, but the all wire cages with the plastic bottom are SOOOO much easier to clean and maintain. So I guess it's personal preference. This is a good starting cage for one hamster if you want to get an idea of what plastic cages are like to use, maintain, and have. Then you can invest in larger ones if you like this one. It's actually more stable and better made than the bigger plastic cage we have of the same brand. So all in all, it's an ok purchase for $20. Good for traveling.

I purchased this to replace a tall standard "starter" hamster wire cage which was difficult to clean as it had a second level. The CritterTrail is a nice combo of wire and plastic and it's smaller which is perfect for our single tiny hamster, Skipperdee. It was really easy to put together and looks like it'll be easy to clean. I gave this cage 4 stars because, as other reviewers have noted, the water bottle is terrible--extremely leaky. It has to stay in the habitat because it's a plug but I emptied it right away and attached the old water bottle to the side of the new cage. What I'll probably do is get a cage attachment to connect where the water bottle is now so the empty bottle won't take up space. The wheel isn't silent, but not too bad - it's quieter than the old metal squeaky wheel. The handle is nice so my kids can take Skipperdee to school on Pet day and not have a gigantic cage to haul around. All in all, it fits our needs well.

This cage is very great for hamsters as long as you attach it to another cage with a tube. Even for a dwarf hamster, it's small! I bought this cage for my first hamster, she was a dwarf hamster, and she was always bitting on the wires. I researched it alittle and I found that they do that when they're bored and when they need more room. So, I bought another cage and some tubes and put them together. Now, my hamster never bits on the wire. Instead, she plays in the tubes and the houses I'd bought for her. Another bad thing I didn't like was how small the wheel was, her back must have been hurting her because the middle of the wheel hit her back.

But for a baby dwarf hamster, this cage was great. Just make sure to get another real some!

This habitat is ok. It's nice that it all comes apart to be cleaned. However the ports on either side are simply slid into place and therefore my mice and hamsters open the door like it was made for them! They play with the ports until they slide up, it seems to be a game to them, even thought they don't actually want to leave. Also the quality of these cages is pretty low. Pieces sorta fit and all it is just rattly and wiggly, not structurally sound. I didn't have to much trouble with the wheel, it's louder than my silent spinner but it isn't bad, which is really good. The cage is also to small. I have a large pet carrying cage from Petco and it's the same size as this crittertrail cage. Honestly most of the cages from superpet aren't that great, even though their other products are really good. If you have mice, give up on cool little hamster cages, get an aquarium, I just went through three cages and they escape from EVERYTHING. They even fit through the bars of the wire cages, just climb right through them. But what are going to do? =]

Happy home shopping everybody! =]
