Hey everyone, So I am going to be doing a review on the Ferplast Duna fun LARGE.

I personally have two of these cages connected together as a single cage is to small for a hamster, as they need at least 80 x 40 x 40. This cage is 71.5 x 46 x 41 cm but has three floors all of which I have found to be quite sturdy (though I have had to take one floor out to fit a 29cm wheel in.)

I had a bit of trouble buying this cage, it was given to me as a christmas present but when it arrived one of the extra floors had a crack in it. When I rang up about it I was told that I spare was on the way, a month later when it still hadn't come I rang up again and the company apologised and sent me a whole new cage. Which was great apart from the one of the wire ventailion side grill which had been made the wrong way up- but I sanded it down and was able to fix this. I guess that I was unlucky in the cages that they sent me.

This cage comes with accessories however I have taken some of these out as the 5" wheel is too small for any hamster and my hamster pee's in her house which just sits in the plastic base, I now use it as a sand bath. The food bowl I found to be flimy but I liked the water bottle. I have to say that I was very impressed with the tubes and they seem to me the best I have come across, they are of a good size, reasonable soild, easy to clean and clip together quickly. I have found that both my syrian and dwarf love the tubes and my syrian can actually rolly- poly in hers.

The cage is made up of three parts, the base (which is nice and big for lots of substraight) a wire grill for good ventailion and a plastic top half. There is a large wire opening which makes it easy to get at the hamster inside though the only thing that I have found with this is that it doesn't stay up by itself you have to lead it against something or else it will fall off. Also the base seems to be a bit thin as my hamster has chewed a small hole right through it, though it is only very small and she cannot escape, however it is still a hole.

The cage part come apart for very easy cleaning and is easy to assemble and disassemble. Though when I first brought this cage I found that the instruction were differcult to follow as they were pictures, it took me quite along time to work out what it was telling me to do!

Overall I like this cage, as it looks nice, is easy to clean and if connected together make a fairly large cage. However I think that it is expensive for what it is and the accessories aren't all great though the tubes are really good but a single cage it is too small for any hamster. I would recommend trying to pick it up second hand if you can. I would rate it 7/10.

I hope that this help someone
