The worst thing is that stupid tube on the front. My Robos would hide in there and they were near impossible to get out if I was trying to remove them to clean the cage (which got smelly very fast as it was so small). It was also horrible to clean. All round a bad cage, couldnt even recomend it as a carry cage.

Well, I do use it as a carry cage - because I've got it. And I'd rather use my money to get bigger cages and other lovely things for the hamsters than replace it...

I have it because our first Syrian was in it when she was given to my younger son, and I got her a bigger cage as quickly as I could, but I've used end caps to close off the tubes (they came with the Mickey2XL which was the replacement cage).

Fortunately, I've only needed to use it once - to put our other Syrian in when we brought her home from P@H's adoption centre. I put the cardboard pet carrier in the Spelos so we didn't need to be holding on tightly to this nervous little girl all the way home - glad I did, she'd made it out of the box & was looking round the cage by the time we'd got to the till!
