A great habitat
I found this wonderful habitat via YouTube while researching the Silent Runner wheel. I had my original set of 2 gerbils housed in a 30 gallon reused aquarium with a screen top. I purchased this habitat and haven’t looked back! I’m now on my 3rd set of gerbils! (I had one that lasted 7yrs.) I purchased my latest pair from a small, local pet store a month ago and had a shock. I went to feed and play with them and I had THREE! Yep, I have a pup…just one. I’m taking them all in to be sexed next week. I realized that I couldn’t part with any of them. Sooo, depending on the sexing, I’m going to get a 2nd habitat and get a 4th gerbil. Two per cage. This is the best quality habitat I’ve come across. Easy to clean, safe, pretty much escape proof for gerbils and cat proof. Yes, I have a cat that loves to interact with the gerbils! He tries so hard to get to the rodents but due to the small width of the bars, he can’t. My gerbils are fearless and play with the cat. Silly gerbies!! You’re a snack and don’t get it. My only issue is getting the wire top to fit back onto the deep plastic pan after cleaning. It takes a little wiggling but not a big deal. I’m a patient person. All in all, this is a large, sturdy habitat with a lot of room to add toys and wheels. I have 2 large Silent runners as my adults were trying to use one at the same time. I had a great time reading the reviews. I had no idea how many people love their little pocket pets! I now feel like part of a community. I have 4 dogs and the cat but these little gerbils have been so much fun! Thank you for making a wonderful, safe, large habitat for them.

Great For My Fancy Bear Syrian Hamster
I just got this cage today, and Iâm liking it so far and so is my hamster, Moo! Warning: itâs heavy and really big, learned that the hard way when I picked it up from the UPS store at my university and had to carry it to my dorm. The product was very well packaged!Assembly:So this cage requires no tools to assemble it and Iâm so thankful for that cause I donât have any tools with me in my dorm. Comes with instructions as well, you have to follow the instructions or else it wonât really work, especially with the ramp!!!! The assembly process for me took like 30 minutes to an hour because at times itâs a tight fit, so you have to put a bit more work when securing the cage with the black clips. Itâs relatively easy but a bit time consuming!Cage:The cage is a lot bigger than I thought it would be, but luckily it fits in my small dorm as to where Iâm comfortable to move around or make any weird arrangements. Also, my hamster had the Kaytee Easy Clean Small Pet Habitat, and that is 16 x 11.5 x 10.5 inches. Not ideal for any hamster Iâm pretty sure. But with this one, I can literally fit three of my hamsterâs old cage within this one. So a huge upgrade. And the wires are metal, the plastic part of the cage is maybe 4-5 inches deep.Security & Safety:This cage is pretty secure, I donât think my hamster will escape from it unless I leave one of the doors open, sheâs about 4 inches long and like one inch wide so a bit small. For the first part of the assembly you have to latch on the curved clips so the metal part of the cage can be secured together, itâs hard to do that and one corner for me is a bit wider than the others. Also, the top part of the cage wonât come off due to the black clips you put in after doing the first and second step. For me the shortest sides of the cage were the hardest to latch on but it makes the cage extra secure when carrying it. The doors I feel is what Iâll have a problem with because it only takes a small amount of pressure to open it but Iâm pretty sure I can fix that problem.Hamsterâs Opinion:Moo absolutely loves the cage, she has so much space now! Iâve seen her go up and down the ramp so many times. She enjoys climbing the cage so I think thatâs good, I think a lot of toys will be needed to really fill up the space in the cage. Sheâs already in love with it and Iâm glad she hasnât bitten on the metal but only downfall is that she does fall due to climbing or the level part but she seems okay and has learned her lesson.Overall:This cage is a pretty pricey (Iâm a broke college student but I love my hamster) but I would say itâs worth it! Itâs huge and can fit a lot of toys and hideouts, gives the hamster enough space to run and not feel too cramped! 9/10!!!!

Best cage for rats Iâve ever had.
Iâve spent over 2 weeks searching for a decent cage for 2 female rats. I was looking for something a little cheaper but after hearing good things about this cage I decided to go ahead and try it. Definitely worth the money in my opinion. Set up took less than 5 minutes, you donât need a screw driver at all, you simply pull out of the box, unbend the wire top, and snap or twist things to fit. I love the fact that the bottom is higher on the sides yet allows a nice amount of ventilation for a rat to breathe. Our critter nation was nice except for the fact that the plastic bottoms were so low that theyâd kick bedding out and it would go everywhere, which was what I wanted to avoid. Thereâs also spots to place a water bottle nozzle into the cage without having to place the whole bottle into the cage. The landing seems very thick and sturdy which may deter some chewers from biting holes into it (another issue we had with the critter nation).The only con Iâm finding in all honesty is two sides of the bars, one is pictured. Thereâs a decent sized gap Iâm sure a hamster or even smaller rodent could get through it. Some zip ties should help that but as for rats the older they get they shouldnât be able to get through the wire sides. The wire guard to on the side of the cage to hold the door in place might need some needle nose pliers to better secure it to the cage but itâs all about what you are comfortable with.All on all we feel it will be a great cage for our girls to grow into. The other picture shown was literally right after we set it up (water bottle had not been added just yet). Three girls or two male rats would be the max I would do with this cage. As for other critters, Iâm not sure. A wheel or some hammocks could easily be added. You may not be able to tell but we have 2 small huts inside the cage, plus under all the bedding a decent sized hut that we buried since our original girl doesnât like any bedding inside her hut. Even with the three huts thereâs still a decent amount of space for them to run and play (which they did within an hour of being inside).So far, Iâm definitely happier with this than I was our Critter Nation.*Update*I have purchased 4 of these cages in almost 3 years. And, I will reconfirm the quality of this cage is top notch. I plan on purchasing another very soon – only because I have acquired ONE rat who loves to chew obsessively. It took her 8 months to chew through the cage tray in one space. Sheâs been chewing the same space all this time and she finally broke through. I still find this cage an absolute wonderful cage. Also, we had an accidental litter of rat pups (we have since learned how to better tell the genders to our critters) and they are now 3 weeks old and I was very worried about them breaking out through the bars because they were so small. NOPE! They are smaller than a hamster at this point and they cannot get through the bars. They also climb the bars already. I will always buy this cage.

Got 2 of these cages, have a baby female Syrian in one itâs perfect & she loves it. So I another for my robo colony as I wasnât happy with having a million plastic cages with tubes hooked up together, really really hard to clean & easy to escape out of. Not to mention the pet community hates them, pet store cages are generally found to be WAY too small…Anyway I didnât realize the bars on 2 of the corners of the cage were too far apart so one of my robos ended up accidentally escaping on their 3rd night in the cage. I only found him cuz my cat started acting strange around the bottom of a cabinet when I went to feed my guinea pigs, I went to investigate & low & behold one of my precious little puff ball sized robos had gotten out of the cage & fallen off the table onto the floor. He was currently running at the wall full speed attempting to dig nothing, crazy lil robos lol. Anyway I got him back in the cage & luckily the rest were fine.Iâve now added zip ties to the corners so they canât escape but if you look at the pics Iâll probably have to ad a few more, luckily itâs just in the corners. Spacing may appear bigger in pictures & like I said only one of the cages is like this, had it been my Syrian in this one & vice versa she couldnât fit through that space & the robos wouldnât have been able to escape through the original Perview 528 I purchased as the bars on that one donât have such a wide gap.Iâm still slightly nervous but as far as Syrians go itâs a wonderful cage & escape proofMy roborovski dwarfs love it too other than the escape mishap, thereâs room for multiple hides, multiple wheels, multiple tubes, a potty, sand bath, dig box in each cage & a really great deep pan for lots of beddingJust be sure to have enough bedding on hand cuz it can hold a bunch & hamsters should have at least 6 inches of bedding to burrow in. In fact some hamsters wonât burrow at all until their given over 6 inches! Plus the large cage size & amount of bedding you can fit really cuts down on cage cleanings & on bedding in the long run! Large cages need cleaning much less frequently so donât be shy fill her up!Overall Iâm satisfied with my purchase & very happy that my hamsters donât have to suffer in tiny cages! My Syrians Perview 528 cage is a natural theme with coconut fibre, aspen, reptile moss, alfalfa hay, bendy bridges & dried flowers to compete the aesthetic! Dried flowers have the added bonus of smelling great too!! Just make sure you get the kind safe for hamsters ;)The heigh of the cage provides room for a very large wheel too & the platform can be adjusted to different heights. Thereâs also plenty of room for adding xtra platforms & hides too! I purchased a few on Amazon to create another level that goes around the top of my Syrians cageI was able to fit 2 wheels & multiple hides in my robos Perview 528 cage & because the pan is so deep theyâve created an entire network of tunnels all throughout bedding!! Itâs adorable!!! It has multiple entries all over the cage & theyâre all connectedI hadnât had them long but since transferring them to this larger cage I see them running about all the time zipping here & there through their tubes, up the ramp around the platform back down & around again lol. Enough room for plenty of enrichment! Just be sure to check the corners carefully & use zip ties if your nervous!Overall recommend!

El tamaño de la casa es realmente muy grande, tengo un hamster sirio el cual vive muy agusto, le caben bastantes juguetes y la distancia entre cada barrote es muy pequeño por lo que no hay forma que el hamster escape. El metal al tacto parece muy débil pero no lo es para contener a un hamster que lo ha mordido y no le ha hecho daño. La base es de plástico pero no he tenido ningún problema con eso, además es muy profunda y el hamster se puede esconder sin ningún problema. Los acabados son buenos y no hay forma que se lastime el hamster o uno mismo.Excelente compra y mi hamster vive feliz.

It can be quite exhausting and time consuming to find the right enclosure for your hamster but this one just came to the rescue at the right time. Great size, fantastic access and it fits any 12â spinning wheel for a Syrian hamster. It arrived quicker than expected, too. Easy to assemble and enough room for lots of bedding and enrichments to make your pet happy. The platform is very useful but you can always get rid of it and assemble few natural ones, maybe even on different levels which Iâm planning to do in the future. Really happy with the product! Plus it looks beautiful with natural hideouts and accessories. Itâs also on a list of best enclosures 2020 and 2021! Well done Prevue!

This is a fabulous cage! Fairly easy to assemble and very sturdy. Bars are close enough to keep our curious hamster safely inside. This cage has so much room! We have a large wheel and disc style wheel. All of the toys we have fit nicely, with lots or room for exploring. We have a pretty big Syrian hamster, and this is exactly what we were looking for. Seems a bit overpriced compared to others we looked at (similar design), but worth the money for the quality! Recommend for a large hamster!

Estuve buscando un habitad para mis dos gerbiles por varios dÃas hasta que encontré esta. TenÃa dudas porque los gerbiles necesitan un fondo muy profundo para poder enterrase, la jaula cumple con eso además de tener suficiente altura para que salten y jueguen entre ellos. El precio es alto pero vale totalmente la pena. El material se ve de buena calidad y resistente. La recomiendo totalmente.
