Mayfair Gerbilarium Cage with Accessories, 51.5 x 28 x 40 cm

A lovely large home for a Syrian hamster. My hamster loves to climb and was not happy in his old cage, but was satisfied almost instantly he was in this cage. The set up was more tricky that I had previously encountered with a hamster cage, due to it's unusual design, however, only took about 20 minutes to get it set up. The cage was in perfect condition. The wheel that came with the cage was cracked, however, I didn't bother returning it to the seller because it is way too small for use anyway. My only worry was that the doors, especially the side one, didn't seem to shut as tight as I would have liked, as the hamster I own is very strong and heavy (more than I have ever encountered before, and I have had many!), I was worried he would accidentally shove it open in the night. I clipped two crocodile clips either side of the door just to ensure he couldn't open it, I was worried initially that the clips would be a nuisance to use, but I didn't find them a problem and it just reassures me he can't get out. He has climbed the side door hundreds of times with me sat there watching him without the clips and the door stayed secure, so I'm sure it's fine, but I'd rather not risk my hamster escaping! Lovely large cage, every hamster should be treated to this kind of luxury.

Love this cage you can see hamster playing .will be so easy to clean as top just lifts off .Hamster has settled in lovely and pops out of front door to have play with me .A great buy best cage I have had so pleased .

When we looked this was one of the best cages and I would say it is a good size for my Syrian hamster (and it is not too big for a dwarf/ Robovoski. Just because they are smaller does not mean they should have smaller cages). The around seven inch glass base allows you to put the appropiate amount of bedding in (at least 6 inches in one area of the cage) and it means you can see her burrowing which is quite cute. I think the glass is nice and cool for her to lie on in the heat as well once she digs a hole right down to the bottom. BUT PLEASE - do not use the wheel or house. The wheel is much to small and we upgraded to a 20cm wheel and if she gets much bigger we may have to replace that one to a 26-30cm wheel. Maybe a mouse could use it but I’m more reviewing it for a hamster. And I have a friend who has the same cage and her hamster got stuck in the house and it just really isn’t safe. When putting the bedding in we took the bottom ramp out because it took up too much space but we made the bedding high at that part so she could climb onto it herself. She finds the other ramp a bit slippery anyway but she manages. Please be aware though that the platforms don’t count as floor space as hamsters are ground dwellers so they don’t make the cage much bigger. It doesn’t come with instructions but you should easily be able to figure out what goes where. And the bowl is bad too, it can easily be knocked over, it’s just cheap and plastic so I recommend using a ramakin or a small ceramic bowl and I scatter feed her mix most days anyway - the bowl is for her veg and protein. Overall this is a really good cage, just I don’t recommend using the accessories that come with it. Great enclosure!

The perfect cage for my Russian dwarf hamster! This is like a mansion compared to the cage I was recommended to buy at the pet shop. I appreciate the fact it’s not made of a horrible bright colored plastic like all other cages seem to be It’s very spacious and has enough room on the bottom floor for him to run around and burrow. It’s well made and easy to assemble. The glass bottom is ideal for quick clean up and stops the bedding from going everywhere. I would recommend to add an extra shelf into the lower levels so they can’t fall from a height (learned this the hard way - I made mine from cardboard). I also added some extra score marks to the ladders as they are quite hard for a dwarf to climb but are sturdy and well made. The accessories that come with the cage are fine for a small hamster, he loves the wheel but not bothered about the house. I was worried about reviews saying there were sharp edges inside that could injure your pet but I checked over every piece before assembling and it was all fine. Overall a very good cage and well worth the money!

I have a beautiful Syrian hamster, but she has a tendency for escaping. She went through 3 (thick) plastic bottoms and so we decided that the only option left was either to put her in a fish tank (which we didn't want to do as Syrians love climbing) or find an alternative to the plastic cages. I honestly didn't think we'd fine one this good. The ramps are of a thick enough wood that they've withstood my hamster's chewing habits and the ramps are secure when fitted correctly with a simple metal hook to slide through a hole on the platform. Despite my hamster being a bit of a Houdini and figuring out where the door is and how she can get out, the door has withstood her so far and kept her in! The glass is thick and has non-slip grips on all of the corners. The only issues I have with this cage is the wheel is too small for an adult gerbil or Syrian hamster and is noisy if you don't put some vegetable oil on it - my hamster also got her big bum stuck in the house! Regardless, the accessories are such a minor issue that it doesn't effect my rating. I am to purchase two gerbils in the next couple of days, and this cage is so good (with a 7inch glass base - you need at least 6inches of filling for gerbils) that I'm getting another one for the gerbils. I've never had such a good animal cage before and I definitely recommend it - it's worth the money!

To start with the pros... it has a very sturdy and deep glass bottom ideal for Gerbils and a nice, tall wire frame which is easy to mount on the provided clips and easy to take apart to access and clean the base. The cons are far too critical to ignore though and really degrade what is otherwise a good frame. The biggest issue was the wooden "floors" that you are meant to slot into place within the frame. I'm pretty certain mine were for a different product. They were 6cm wider than the metal frame they were supposed to fit inside and, even if they had been the right length, the "notches" for the wires were in the wrong place and didn't fit. Hence why I think they were for another product and just thrown into my box (it looked like it was thrown together rather than packed). I therefore had to manually saw the wooden shelves to length, cut new notches, and then place them inside. Once done they were sturdy and fit for purpose. The advert states water bottle but that doesn't come with it. The food bowl is tiny, the house barely big enough for 1 Gerbil and very cheap and plasticky (so I replaced it with a larger wooden one). Also the provided wheel is too small for a Gerbil so I bought a separate one. All in all, for the price I expected much more. Again, the frame and the tank were excellent... it was everything else that was poor for the price and I needed to spend more money replacing it all immediately, which I shouldn't have had to do.

This was the first cage we purchased for our two male gerbils back in September 2016. It was absolutely perfect for them - They had plenty of room to dig/burrow, sleep and play in the bottom half and the two top tiers are ideal for their food bowl and water.. They loved running up and down the ramps, but the bottom glass part is their favourite.. Ample space to put their tubes/toys and bed.. *** Updated We went on to purchase two more female gerbils and then switched to tanks In January. They didn't seem to enjoy it as much 'if at all' and then one of our male passed away this week. We've now purchased a further two new male pups and re-purchaced this cage again HOWEVER - all the floors and ramps were missing this time! I should knock a star off for missing parts, but they did replace them and I now have THREE happy gerbils who love their new home and theres still plenty of space for 3 gerbils! All in all - I would recommend, but I wouldn't think this is suitable for 'two' rats or 'two' degus.. They would need mroe space.... Very good value for money!

One door catches so tightly on the cage it has striped the black cover off the metal. Door is also not secure enough to contain a gerbil; she can open it from the inside (and has escaped as a result). Glass base is possibly slightly to shallow to allow for enough bedding to dig and to contain the bedding within the cage. The wheel is too small for a gerbil so definitely to small for most hamsters. It is an okay size for my lone gerbil but is a bit small for 2. House had to be removed as she was chewing and plastic is not safe to eat, better off with wooden or a cardboard box edit; I got this tank when I got my gerbil over a year ago, with research since this is absolutely too small for gerbils and hamsters! General rule for gerbils is 20 gallons for one or 2 plus 10 gallons for each additional minimum this should be a tank ideally and a minimum of 6'' deep bedding should be provided. Including the topper (which shouldn't be included) this tank is 12 gallons: not gerbil appropriate! Hamsters need 240 square inches of unbroken floor space, this is also far too small to meet that! Keeping a pet in one of these tanks is like keeping a human in the cupboard under the stairs their entire life!

Cage spatieuse de super qualité, elle nous as sauver le portefeuille et nos gerbilles l'adorent c'est la seule qui as su résister ces petites pestes franchement aucune chose negative a dire super produit , très spacieux et resistent.

Sono pienamente soddisfatta della nuova gabbietta. Ho aspettato un po' prima di scrivere questa recensione perché volevo vedere il riscontro nel tempo dell'acquisto. La consegna è stata impeccabile ( prima del previsto ), pur essendo un acquisto cosi grande e fragile non ci sono stati problemi. Oltre la gabbia in sé, all'interno possiamo trovare una casetta, una ruota di plastica e una ciotola per il cibo. Per quanto riguarda la ruota di plastica devo segnalare che non è molto stabile, l'andatura non è fluente e in più, essendo di plastica, c'è molta probabilità che venga rosicchiata. Nel complesso i miei gerbi sono molto soddisfatti della loro nuova casetta, hanno molto spazio per girare, scavare e arrampicarsi. Inoltre la gabbia è molto personalizzabile si possono aggiungere "spazi extra" ( ad esempio sulle pareti, come cocchi o scalette) per rendere lo spazio ancora più grande e divertente. L'unico punto su cui non mi posso ritenere totalmente soddisfatta è il fatto che le mensole sono di compensato che le rende un problema poiché si possono sporcare molto facilmente con la pipi. Ho notato che pulendo il compensato con acqua tiepida e aceto bianco la situazione migliora, ma la soluzione finale è stata "impermeabilizzare" le mensole con uno strato di scotch facendolo ben aderire alla superficie. In questo modo ho evitato la possibilità che i gerbi rosicchiassero lo scotch ma soprattutto le mensole sono molto più facili da pulire durante la pulizia giornaliera. La consiglio vivamente!!!

Jag valde att ta bort ett hyllplan då jag ville ha plats för ett stort hjul till vår hamster. Inte särskilt svår att att sätta ihop buren. Buren känns dock ganska billig men den verkar ändå okej. Gillar att man kan ha mycket strö i botten.

Ich finde den Käfig sehr geeignet für einen Hamster. Habe ihn mir selbst deswegen angeschafft und mein Hamster liebt ihn einfach. Habe allerdings das Haus ausgetauscht da es aus plastik war und durchsichtig ist fande mein Hamster braucht auch einen Ort wo ihn niemand sieht. Das Rad und den fress Napf habe ich dabei gelassen wobei das Rad sehr quietscht wie von vielen anderen auch schon angegeben. Von der Qualität her muss ich sagen sehr gut er kam prima verpackt hatte mir schon Sorgen gemacht aber war alles super verpackt und nichts kaputt. Ich kann diesen Käfig nur weiter empfehlen. Das einzige was ich bemängeln würde ist eine Anleitung zum zusammen stecken der Bretter das es einfach nützlicher wäre man bekommt es auch ohne hin aber einfach als kleine Hilfe. :)

Carina e spaziosa la mia criceta ci vive benissimo sale e scende perfettamente dalle scale, l‘ unica cosa é che il beverino non è incluso e la ruota faceva un po‘ di rumore poi gli abbiamo messo l‘ olio e adesso è perfetta . Per il resto è tutto ok consiglio l‘ acquisto.
