I can't say enough wonderful things about this cage. After 2 very disappointing experiences with the Zooplus Cages (Rio Rico and Yuma) I was pretty disillusioned with the quality of wood cages available.
This cage knocked my socks off!
The size is excellent! It is comparable to a Hamster Heaven, maybe a bit bigger. The construction is sturdy and well made. All the parts fit together as they should (much more than I can say about the Zooplus cages). My partner and I put it together carefully to make sure it would last, and it took us about 1 1/2 hours to do it. But the assembly was low-stress and the instructions were very clear. All materials are supplied and there was no confusion. The pieces are well-made with no cracks or weaknesses. Once everything is screwed in, it fits together beautifully! The wood is not incredibly thick hardwood, but nor is it flimsy/cheapy plywood. I think it is somewhere in between. The plexiglass panel is thicker than the Zooplus cages and it's even easily removed for replacement over time.
The levels fit in securely and are screwed in permanently. The lid lifts open easily and the pull out tray pulls in and out with no problems. Excellent!!
I am so pleased with this cage. I really can't recommend it enough. I decided not to plastikote it as I like the smell of new wood and Lila is potty trained using her sand box. But it could be easily plastikoted at any stage during construction.
The cage is light enough to move it by yourself if you need to, but it's best to have 2 people for assembly and for lifting just because of the size. I recommend putting something heavyish in front of the pull out tray so a hamster doesn't push the tray out and escape. The fact that the tray is so easy to pull out and clean also means it would be easy for a very determined escape artist. I have a 10 lb hand weight in front of mine to keep it closed (it's sitting on the floor).
I have attached a link to my album with some photos and a short video. To give you an idea of size, Lila is a full grown Syrian and that is a Karlie Wonderland wooden hamster wheel that she is using.
I actually won this cage for £21 (stroke of luck!) so it is definitely worth bidding on before doing the buy it now.
