Cypher is right. I have all the tubes and penthouse unused since new. Now I don't even use either shelf because the plastic ladders are not easy for little feet to get up. Then the plastic pods become to small as a Syrian grows. After reading on here I planned my own cage inside. The wheel is also too small for a Syrian after only a few weeks. It is a good sized cage and with good deep substrate (I use Fitch) a nice big wooden house (flat roof means an extra shelf) a proper wheel, potty in the favoured pee corner, cardboard tubes, wooden bendy bridges/ladders, Sputnik, extra shelf etc and you have a happy ham! Lots of photos on here will give you ideas. Once you start looking you never stop thinking about how to make things better! I bought some things from Pets@home but look at zooplus and viovet and pet planet online for ideas and prices. For a Syrian always go large. Most hamster stuff is too small in the end.
