I've had this cage for over a week now and so I feel it's time to share my thoughts.
I brought it on www.EquineCanineFeline.com Online UK Pet Accessories, UK Pet Supplies, Rat, ferret, chinchilla, hamster, rabbit, guinea pig, cat, dog and horse products with FAST UK Delivery! (http://www.equinecaninefeline.com) and got a 10% discount thanks to using the ANIMAL code. I've noticed it's also available on Amazon.
The cage measures 80cmx50cmx38cm. It has 9mm bar spacing so can be used for most breeds of Hamster. The cage feels incredibly well made, the base is sturdy and the bars seem very strong. It is very secure which is a bonus if you're overly paranoid about escapes like I am :). The best feature of this cage is the large side door. It gives great access to the cage and you are able to get things in and out without disturbing your ham. The base is very deep which is great if you like to give your ham lots of substrate to dig in.
It comes with a removable wire shelf which would obviously need covering if you decided to keep it in. It also has a sputnik, some plastic tunnels and a feeding bowl. The wheel that's included is roughly 7 and 1/2 inches in diameter which is better than most wheels that come with cages but it will defintely need replacing as your Syrian grows.
The cage has room for a lot of toys. I have several large natural wood toys in the cage, plus a wheel, a chube and a couple of toilet roll tubes and there is still ample floor space. I've noticed a huge change in Cookie as well. She is no longer terratorial about her cage, thanks to the large door she can now see and sense me when my hand goes in. I also haven't noticed her bar chewing since being moved in.
The bars do have to be bent slightly to fit a classic water bottle but this does not compromise the security of the cage. I did also have to bend the bars slightly to attach a comfort wheel to the cage. Again, this is no problem but it does easily fit a senior wodent wheel should this be an issue for you.
All in all, I am incredibly impressed with the cage and happily recommend it.
Pros
Great size.
Very secure.
Great access.
Side door!
Can be used for most breeds.
Cons
Could be even bigger :)
Bars may need to be bent to fit some accessories.
The handles included are tiny and I don't feel confident transporting the cage with them. This makes the cage difficult to move.
