Nogales (wooden cage) - review

[mollldoll]

I got my Nogales from a eBay returns seller, so it did arrive with damage that needed fixing, as you can tell from my pictures the plexi glass on the front is damaged (will be replaced with more plexi or some mesh in the future) so I am unsure of the quality of build straight out of the box.

I think the wood is of moderate quality the floors are solid and bottom is melamine coated, the instructions are easy to follow as long as you are used to building things up from flat pack.

The cage comes with castors so is easy to move around as the tray slides out of the back for cleaning this is a must.

The cage itself is large measuring Size: 120 x 75 x 90 cm (L x W x H)

It seems to only be avalible at zooplus, costing £149 at the moment.

Great deals on small pet cages and accessories at zooplus: Small Pet Cage Nogales

Pros :-

• Huge amount of space for a Syrian
• Good access from large top and front openings

Cons :

• Wood could be of higher quality
  
• Slide out tray at back so would need to be turned around to pull it out for cleaning

in the pics I have just set up the cage so it is sans waterbottle/food bowl/most toys/wheel

That's amazing! And so pretty!

Is it all coated with plasticoat to make for easy cleaning?

Your little ham looks so tiny in there! That's an actual hamster heaven!

How do you fix the plexiglass? Or does it not need fixed?

[mollldoll]

thankyou

Its not essential that I change it as he cannot reach the part that is damaged, but for looks it would be nice if the front wasn't cracked. I would just need to put a new panel in there.

it seems to be glazed, but i will be watching to see if it is truly and switing him out to coat it if needed.

What was the ebay seller?

[mollldoll]

Thanks - it was pl-tech

though i must say the damage was pretty bad - it took about 6 hours to fix

You don't really appreciate the size of the cage until you see the photos with the hamster in it!!! It looks like it will provide hours of entertainment and stimulation, I'm sure you will have a very happy and contented hamster!!
