— Dangerous

"DO NOT BUY!! These are not recommended by animal welfare groups!! They are unsafe as hamster’s legs and feet can get stuck in the cracks causing injury. Also, constantly running full speed into walls, furniture, etc causes stress."

Bottom Line

Avoid this product. Choose safer exercise pens or playpen for your small critters.
