HAMSTER CAGE WESTMINSTER EXTRA LARGE PALACE


Not as good as it could be!!
Having recently purchased the "Beckingham" cage from Posh Pets I thought I would share my thoughts;

Most importantly be aware that the cage now comes with WIRE PLATFORMS and not the plastic ones shown in the photos. It's in the product description but I missed it, as I had been researching for a while from different sites. (It's also available from ebay by same seller for the same price).

WIRE PLATFORMS aren't suitable for hamsters.
A quick google will back this statement up.

I modified mine by machining up four new shelves from clear plastic sheet and fitting over the original WIRE PLATFORMS. Problem solved. Luckily I have access to a decent machine shop. If you don't want to modify the cage and care about your pets wellbeing then look for a different cage.

Some of the accessories are very poor quality; particularly the little house and wheel. I plan to replace mine as soon as I can. The wheel is too small for an adult Syrian anyway as...
Great cage however
Excellent cage Olly loves playing in it. However no instructions how to build plus didnt come with food bowl like it stated when purchasing. And one of doors on cage is rather loose so i have to cable tie it so he does escape
