Thumbs down PETVILLE Pet Paradisio Cage Review

I will start off by saying I bought this cage for my syrian hamster and i realize that it was way too small for her. If you do decide to get this cage PLEASE DO NOT buy for syrian hamsters!

Pros:
- large door on top for easy access
-

Cons:
- an odd shape so space is wasted and toys don't fit in it
- extremely small
- platform is very wobbly
- where the tubes lead up to the platform, there's not enough room for the hamster to turn to get on the platform, my hammy ended up using other toys to climb onto it instead.
- Wheel hits platform when it spins as there is not enough room

Overall: I definatly would not recommend this cage, and would never buy it again!

Yeah I saw this too :\ It's a cheap cage, but It may be good
for storage use, or you can take the top part off and use it as
a play area pin.

But petville hamster toys aren't that bad. I bought a petville tree
thing, and my hammie loved it! It was basically this tree shaped tube
with holes you have to push out, and little cardboard toys inside.

Hi,
Where do you put the hamster house/nest in this cage?

Thanks,
Janiv.

This cage might work for just a travel cage ie for trip in the car until you get to where you are going. if you could take the long tube off. then transfer hamster into larger cage.

Thanks for the quick reply,

I don't need a travel cage.
I need to put a nest somewhere. does anyone use this cage with a dwarf hamster and actually put a cage? Where does the hamster sleep in this cage?

Thanks,
Janiv.

Hi I feel this cage is too small for even a dwarf hamster,

That cage is awful and not something a hamster should live in permanently not even a dwarf hamster. How do they even climb up or get down that vertical tube without falling? If you can get a second hand one cheap or given to for free then it could be used as a carrier if the tube came off and had something to block the hole with. But not worth buying one new
