HAMSTER CAGE NEON STAX 2 APARTMENT GERBIL MOUSE RODENT IN BLUE

3 storey version
This review is from: HAMSTER CAGE NEON STAX 2 APARTMENT GERBIL MOUSE RODENT
I have bought and just assembled the 3 storey version of this hamster home, it was rather fiddly and felt quite fragile till the very last clip was fitted, then it seemed very robust, took about 15 minutes, then I spent a couple of hours trying to finish fitting the tubes properly, it was very hard to assemble the ring fittings but finally got there with no damage. Once assembled I would not recommend taking it apart again. Have to clean it through the doors, quite easy as there is one for each level.
I am using it in conjunction with a standard wire cage and maybe also a bin, as I dont think any of these small cages are big enough for hamsters, the wheels supplied, 2 with the 3 level version, are certainly far too small for a Syrian. Be GREAT for MICE or VERY DWARF HAMSTERS though.
I have a large Rolly wheel and it wont fit in there, it has to go in my adjacent wire cage.
I like the jolly...
Just not good enough
When i saw this item it looked ideal for our Hamsters needs, plus my daughter liked the bright colours and thought the design looked fun. All that is true, but it was a nightmare to put together, the instruction (what there were) are very poor and you get the feeling it will break very easily when putting it together. We had it for about six weeks when one of the side panels cracked during cleaning and we were very gentle with it. Then a bit later the clip that holds the top flap broke, again with very little pressure applied.

I wouldn't buy this product again or recommend it to others, it looks good, but is made from weak plastic that breaks far to easily, thus making it unfit for it's purpose.
hamster cage
This cage is absolutely brilliant. it is the size that i expeccted and is perfect for a syrian hamster, dwarf hamster and a gerbil. it is quite hard to put together but you will get the hang of it and it sounds flimsy when you are putting it together but it really isn't and it will not break at all and is so stable. my hamster loves exploring on both levels and loves his wheel... the wheel is very stable but is a bit noisy. all that i can say is that it is a great design, stable, perfect size and perfect for any small sized hamster!! would recommend it to everyone!!
