Exclamation Help Identifying a Hamster Cage?

I recently purchased a new hamster cage on eBay, the only reason to why I bought it was because there was a silent spinner with the cage and for only £1.20 I thought it was a bargain! Anyway after ALOT of cleaning and disinfecting I thought I would let one of my hams have a little run around inside to make sure it was safe and they couldn't escape too easily. My WW Boris seemed to like the cage and made himself at home right away!
The only downfall is that I have no idea what the name and make of the cage is! I asked the seller and he didn't seem to know either! I'm aware that the cage is fairly small yet it has the option to add tubes and attach more things which my current cages don't. So if any of you know what brand and the name of the cage is I would be really grateful!

I have embraced my creative side and have designed a method to hold up a regular bottle in the cage as I have no idea how my hamsters would react to the one that came with the cage!

Also on the top of the cage below where the water bottle is (bottom right) there is a small indent in the cage and I was wondering if any of you knew what this was for?

Thank you in advance!

Length - 50cm
Width - 30cm
Height - 20cm
-The wheel that originally came with the cage was a large green one but I have swapped it for the silent spinner

Ah cool
The owner said it was 'quite common' - apparently not!

RE- the water bottle, are you refering to the blue one in the whole at the top? Looks like a perfect fit, so has confused me a bit. If so then I would just say it looks like you can pop off the plastic to attach more tubes for extensions.

I take it then that there is no name on the wheel or base anywhere? Probably a daft question but sometimes it can be quite small. Did you ask the seller where they bought it from originally? Maybe post a picture of the wheel as well? Sometimes that is a bit of a give away on the sort/size of it. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

The original water bottle hung directly straight into the cage and had a sort of blunt point for the hamster to drink from, never seen anything like it really (picture enclosed) so therefore I devised a way for me to hang Boris's regular water bottle from the hole!
There doesn't appear to be any name or anything on the wheel or on the cage, and I asked the seller when I originally got it and they received it as a gift so are not aware where it originally came from!
Also I wanted to know the brand to make sure the tubes would fit properly, I have never used tubes before so I'm not aware if all brands would fit this cage?

This is a Crittertrail Outlook...at least that is what it is called in the US. I also found one about 5 months ago on Craigslist here in FL. I did some DaiY too, but hated that I couldn't ever find a good waterbottle to fit it correctly. Apparently, they aren't made any longer & are few & far between!


I asked the same exact question you had. Here is my thread:
Anyone know this cage?

You could always use one of the yellow blocks (from pets at home) to stand your water bottle in. Ive seen lots of members use them in tanks etc.
