The Best Hamster Cage
This is my second Critter Trail Discovery Habitat Deluxe hamster cage. I have owned the first one since August of 2010 and am still using it. I have had other hamster cages. My teddy bear hamster prefers this cage. He loves sleeping up in his "loft bed" (the petting area). I line it with unscented Charmin toilet paper (his favorite). I also taped a folded piece of cardboard over the top petting zone to keep it dark while he is sleeping in the daylight hours. The cage is super easy to clean compared to most hamster cages. I did replace the water bottle with one I preferred and I did buy a larger snap on wheel for one of the cages, since he is a large hamster. I have nothing negative to say about the cage. If you are careful when putting together, you will not break any of the parts. I like that the entire bottom of the cage unsnaps so you can easiliy clean the soiled area and add new bedding. To me this is the best hamster cage for the larger teddy bear hamsters. With his two cages attached, he has plenty of room to play and "hunt" for food. I also keep a piece of tape attached to the front clear lid as a precaution so he cannot push through the front door to escape, although he has never tried. He is very spoiled and very loved. I put some of his snacks and food on the second floor (the green part). He loves having two floors in each cage. I also got the best price from PetMountain. I compared prices with the other online pet stores. I live in Ohio, so shipping took a little longer, but well worth the wait with the prices.
