I am afraid my own review of this cage will be very negative. I have one and find it unusable. It is there only for holding hamsters during cage cleans.

The problems are as follows...

1. poor ventilation, despite the strictest hygiene. The air is quickly very stale inside the tank.

2. size... I find the size inadequate even for dwarfs and their frustration is displayed by how much time is spent in the wheel.

3. design faults... the drinking spout and bottom of the wheel are set so low that a decent amount of substrate can't be put in the cage. The wheel becomes jammed, which adds to the animals frustration and the drinking spout, too easily makes contact with substrate, causing regular leaks.

I find that hamsters need space to run, bars to climb and gnaw on, good ventilation and deep substrate and this tank offers none of the above.
