"I LOVE that this Crittertrail is above the bare minimum of cage floorspace! It's also nice that the bottom of the cage allows you to put in 6 inches of bedding! If I had to house a hamster in a Crittertrail I would gladly choose this cage!"

— HamsterGirl

"My hamster only spent 30 mins in this cage before I knew it wasn't for hamsters! This cage's wires are spaced too far apart!! One inch! Half of my hamster's body can fit through the spacing in between and it would have only been a matter of time before it either snapped it's back or got away. DO..."

Bottom Line

Potential buyers should carefully consider the type of pet they have and the safety risks associated with this habitat. It might be suitable for some small pets but not for hamsters due to wire spacing issues.
