Review: Great for hamsters - So I was skeptical from the previous reviews, I got this for my hamster as an upgrade from the dreaded 10 gallon tank. It was a little tricky to put together the bar spacing is perfect for my Syrian and it is a little small as per hamster guidelines so I don't see how a rat can fit in here with toys and such. Boomer loves it, and I even kept the ramp because he couldn't find the food. Everyone's review on the food bowl is 100% correct. It is way too deep for any small animal. They have to climb all the way in and still stretch down. Bars seem cheaply coated but I don't mind, they do have to be adjusted just a little as they bend out of shape and its light weight. Also PICK IT UP FROM THE BOTTOM as stated before! I'm very happy with my purchase and would recommend to anyone with a Syrian hamster on a budget (those other tanks are $150 😧.)
Review: Perfect As My Rats Second Cage - I bought this cage as a secondary cage for my four female rats for when I'm cleaning their big cage. (A double critter nation) I thought it would also be good to use as a hospital cage should I ever need it if one of my girls were to get sick and need to be quarantined. This cage is perfect for female rats as it has the 1/2 inch bar spacing. I didn't use the ramp since I felt it just took up too much space and my girls have no problem climbing to the shelf. The shelf and the food bowl holder are nice features since it gives my girls some place to climb on and a place to hide under. Plus, I can put food in the bowl for them if they're going to be in there for a little while. It's a great size as a secondary cage but I definitely would not recommend it as a rat's primary cage because it's just too small for long term housing. It does attach easily to the base, but for added security, I used zip ties to hold the cage onto the base.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for hamsters
*by X***A on September 11, 2015*

### ⭐⭐⭐ Not bad for Syrians, still a little small.
*by E***E on July 7, 2016*

I bought this for the Syrian Hamster I will be buying next month, and I have to say, I'm impressed! It's very large compared to any other hamster cage out there! I do see it being a little small for rats, but for hammys it's perfect! Setting up was very easy, only took me about 10 minutes. I struggled with getting the ramp in the most. However, I think I will be removing the ramp and additional level because it takes up so much room! With them in there is hardly enough room for a wheel, toys, food bowl (the bowl it comes with is way too big), etc. and space for the little guy to run around. So I've invested in a smaller second level to replace it. Over all it's great for the price! UPDATE: I've had my hamster for a few months now and overall it's okay, there's room for 2 hide outs and a 8.5in wheel. But that's about it, it is NOT chew proof, she has managed to chew away at the plastic base and chip some of the paint off the wires too. Chewing IS a sign of boredom for hamsters so a solution would be to add more toys/boredom breakers. However, there is not enough room to add anything else without over crowding the cage. So if you can afford to go bigger, I highly reccomend it
