Bigger World - MDF Aspen Terrarium for Hamster Gerbils Mice Lemming Degus or Other Small-Sized Pets(30 x 15 x 17.7 inches, Burlywood)

This enclosure exceeded every expectation. Our Djungarian hamster, Gub Gub, has turned into a full-time explorer thanks to the space and layout. The footprint is generous, allowing a proper wheel, deep bedding, hides, and enrichment without feeling cramped. The height is especially good, he can burrow real tunnels, not just shallow dips. Build quality is solid. The acrylic panels are clear and sturdy, and the ventilation keeps everything fresh without sacrificing security. Access through the top is straightforward for cleaning and feeding. Assembly was quick and everything fit together cleanly. Packing was very high quality and protective. What I appreciate most is how calm and comfortable Gub Gub seems in this setup. No rattling, no drafts, and full visibility so we can check on him without disturbing his routine. It feels like a proper habitat, not a compromise. Stability is fine but not meant to be moved. Over all value for money is well worth it. If you want an enclosure that looks good, functions well, and genuinely improves your hamster’s quality of life, this is the one. Gub Gub approves—and so do we.

I have a Syrian male hamster living in this enclosure. I was debating between this and an Ikea Detolf, but this enclosure has more depth and width despite a little less floorspace. I also had around 50" along the wall I wanted to use, but not 6 feet for the Detolf. Overall, I'm really happy with this purchase, and I think my little Yam Ham loves it too! Pros: This is the largest enclosure available that exceeds the bare minimum of floor space specific for hamsters and mice within the US. It also meets the German care standards minimum if this is something you want to model your care after. I would recommend the largest enclosure for Syrian hamsters, but the medium size might be okay for a lazy or older Syrian male. If you want to go larger than this, you'll have to build something yourself. It's pretty spacious and does allow for interesting set-ups and lots of enrichment. You can easily fit 12"+in of bedding and still have room to add a wheel and other items! Niteangel carries a lot of high-quality items that you can match to your enclosure color and theme. The lack of bars means that you can easily watch your friend and their shenanigans as well as watch them burrow! Unlike a 75 gallon aquarium (equivalent in floorspace), you can pack this flat when moving or if you decide to not have hamsters for awhile. I hear a lot of people on hamster groups say they've heard this enclosure is hard to put together. I didn't feel it was at all. I've had more trouble with some Ikea furniture. It's pretty straight-forward and took about 30 minutes to assemble. I would recommend having a helper and to use the gloves they provide (they include two sizes, which is great for my tiny hands) unless you want to break your fingernails left and right when adding the bands. Cons: It is a little on the flimsy side, but this shouldn't be a problem for most people. I would err on the side of caution if you have kids or large dogs who like to run around and crash into things. For a clumsy adult, I haven't had any issues thus far. It is a little tricky to bend over and clean. Quarantine has me out of shape and my little dude prefers to burrow to the bottom and poop/pee in corners rather than use his chambered hides. So when it comes to cleaning, I have to get in there and try to clean, and it's a bit rough. I see that they have other models of this enclosure available in China, as well as an opening latch on the front window panel for this model. (Also, floor wheel attachments!) That would make cleaning, interacting and arranging much easier! My little guy has froze and gotten a bit startled since it's top-opening, so that may be something to be aware of too. Mine isn't skittish (ethically bred) but you might want to take care with how you reach in if you have a pet store / rescue hamster. Overall, if you want something spacious enough, but don't have the ability to DIY, not sure about using a Detolf, I would highly recommend this enclosure! While there are a lot of barred cages out there that meet/exceed the minimums, this particular enclosure is just a lot more pleasing to look at and offers flexibility in what you can do with it.

I love this cage as I have bought three of them. 2 Large and 1 Medium. They are all easy to build if you read the instructions and the labels on each piece. Back Board means it's the back of the cage. On the bottom board, you have two stickers, Back and Front to tell you which way it goes. Pros: 1) The large is the biggest cage available in the US and it is huge! Medium would be better if you had a robo or a dwarf hamster but for your Syrians (esp the females) get the large. It's worth the extra space. It's SO DEEP, you can fill so much bedding in it. For you hammy to be it's happiest, you want to have 6 to 10 inches of bedding (they love more if you've got it!) and in this cage you can provide that easily. 2) It's easy to build, I am not a good builder, honestly, a bookshelf is a challenge lol but it's like a puzzle just snaps together. The silicone bands are easy enough to snap it together, I am appreciative of anything that I don't need a tool for. 3) I love how it's clear acrylic all the way around so you can see easily! I love seeing my little hammy dig his tunnels. 4) It's sleek looking so it would be hard for your parents to complain about how it looks. I have mine in our living room. 5) Nice big slits for air holes, I don't worry about closing the top of the cage at night. Cons: 1) Build it where you want it, it's not easy to move when put together (you can however take it apart but you may need more rubber bands, easy to find, just look up silicone rings). You can move it a little bit but you could snap the rings. 2) It's held together with silicone rings, which is both great because you need no tools and terrible because they can break (when you are putting them on and when you are moving them) Do yourself a favor, hook the band on the top and pull down, makes it easier. I bought an extra pack because I heard they could break while applying but I only broke a few while figuring it out and they give you way more than you need. 3) It's chew resistant but not proof. If you have a gerbil or mouse this is not the cage for you, it's MDF board, one little chip and they would be able to get it (also because the little slits at the top would be easily escapable for a mouse or something smaller than a hamster. I haven't had any issues with my hamsters chewing out, I think it's because they like the cage and because I give them play time outside the cage at night so they are happy to come home to the Hamster Taj Mahal as my husband calls it. Honestly, this is the cage I love more than any. You can get a 65-100 gal aquarium probably on Craigslist or on sale for slightly cheaper but they are SO heavy. I have an adopted hamster that came with a 65 gal and I can't lift it by myself. I looked at many, many cages trying to find the perfect one, this isn't perfect but it's close. All the nite angel products I've tried have been good quality and my hammies love them, especially the wheels and this cage!! (In my pictures, I ran out of bedding so I will be adding more in the shallow end as soon as my next order comes in lol)

This cage is pricey, but definitely worth it for the size. It’s sooo big and my hamster loves it. It’s really easy to put together, may need some help cause it’s so big. It is a tad flimsy because it is held together with rubber bands, so I suggest putting it together where it is permanently going to stay.

I got this enclosure to upgrade my fancy bear hamster (Rocco) from a fairly large tank. He had the bare minimum requirement for the size, but, after a while-he didn't seem happy anymore. He's a little over a year old and I think he's in love with this new enclosure. I'd have to say he probably has right at a foot of bedding to burrow in, and multiple other niteangel products (like their multi-chamber burrow hides or large dust bath) can fit within it, as well as his large wheel. Normally the issue is fitting the wheel, but not in this enclosure. I also had the room to add two types of bedding as well as some other textures for him to get enrichment out of (but in smaller portions). He seems a lot happier here, and, I'm glad to know the lid is not only secure, but heavy. My cats always tried to figure out a way to get him and we hated that for Rocco, AND it was scary. Getting this I would have to say-makes that impossible. There's no way for them to get up the lid other than a small porthole (which you might see in the video). And even then, I believe the lid is farrr to heavy to get off. But it is still supportive in all ways. I'd also like to vouch for the packaging conditions. This product is packed very meticulously, and even comes with gloves to protect the clear portions of the enclosure. And, one of the pieces of the plexi comes for the bottom of the enclosure to help protect the it further. I would 100% get this if you're considering getting this baby. It's not too hard to put together, just difficult to unpack because of the METICIULOUS packaging.

We needed more space for our large female Syrian. Prior to this she had an IKEA Detolf, and even though it was very long I think it was too narrow for her and made her feel too enclosed. She seemed unhappy and her main focus in life was trying to escape. She is a lot happier in this cage, and because the top is so high we can put platforms in for her wheel and water bottle/food which gives her the feeling of more floor space. This is a great cage, just make sure you have the space because it’s massive (I have the largest one). It’s now the focal point of my dining room, lol, but our sweet girl is worth it. It went together very easily and even though the wood is a bit thin it seems like it’s sturdy enough and good quality. I really like that it comes with a piece of plastic to protect the floor. Our girl potty trained herself to pee in her sandbox, but you never know.

This cage is perfect and just what I have been looking for. I currently have a 75 gallon tank for my Syrian. The empty tank weighs an absolute ton and I knew I needed a better option for my next hamster. After reading some comments I had been a bit concerned about putting this together but I shouldn't have worried. Niteangel packed this item for shipping better then anything I have ever had delivered. The pieces were clearly marked and the directions were so simple. One person could easily put this together but having a second person makes it go a bit faster. Everything that you needed was included, even a pair of gloves (we actually received two pair). I am not sure how anyone could have issues with the silicone rings plus they give you a ton extra if needed in the future. As others have done, we did caulk a waterproof barrier along the bottom after the plastic piece was placed and also up the sides. That's not due to construction issues it just makes good sense. This comes in pieces for shipping purposes and sealing it is needed to prevent any liquid from getting under the bottom barrier. I can't say enough good things about this enclosure. While not inexpensive, based on the shipping, construction and overall quality I feel it was very reasonable.

If you don't have the time and energy to build an IKEA detolf cage or one from scratch, I recommend this cage! It gives your hamster plenty of surface area and depth for burrowing, and it looks beautiful! It comes with all the tools (even a set of grip gloves) needed to assemble. Some things to consider though: --The cage is easy to put together, but I did run into minor trouble due to orientation stickers (like "top," "bottom," "front," "back") being placed on the panels in incorrect locations. But if you use common sense, the pieces fit together like legos. --The cage is really lightweight (considering its size) to the point that it seems semi-flimsy? There is also no hardware holding together the pieces; it's held together by the panels clicking together and rubber bands. I ended up using wood glue to reinforce the edges, and I would suggest this so long as you don't have plans to disassemble the cage later. --Use aquarium silicone sealant to seal the inside bottom seams; don't use the tape that comes with the cage. I think the tape will fall off, get dirty, absorb wastes, etc.

J'ai acheté ce produit il y a 1 mois pour mes gerbilles et je l'adore. Beaucoup d'espace et suffisamment profond pour pouvoir mettre beaucoup de ripe de papier. Mes gerbilles sont heureuses, elles se font pleins de tunnels. En plus d'être de qualité et de grande taille, cet habitat est vraiment beau. Je l'ai trouvé très facile à assembler. Je l'ai monté seul et cela m'a pris 20 minutes. Je recommande ce produit.

Absolutely in love with this cage! Super easy to assemble and great quality. My hamster is really happy!

Hammy loves his new cage!! Decided to upgrade The Bean since I moved into a new apartment and this cage is the perfect size. a little taller than my previous one so allows for more bedding to burrow. highly recommend for russian dwarf hamsters!

I bought the large version of this cage for my Syrian hamster after watching a few reviews on YouTube. The cage is well made, looks very nice and quite sturdy. It's easy to put together and you get everything you need to assemble so the price is understandable but it is quite high. You do get quality for it though. There are 2 small cons for me though which is a personal thing. 1st I'm not a fan of the rubber band system with which the cage is held together even if they are firm in place. Secondly you get an acrylic plate for the bottom inside of the cage and he instructions tell you to use paper tape to seal the gaps to avoid urine seeping in to the small gaps. That too is something I would prefer they had made better If they could come up with something else for the paper tape situation that'd be good I am giving five stars because despite those two small bits this is still a really good cage overall

Following the instructions, it was easy enough to put this together! I got this cage/enclosure a couple months ago, have no issues with it. It's big enough for my hamster to explore & place all the accessories! I was happy it came with gloves, it definitely helps putting this together! 👌
