This is very large. My hamster never used it for digging so I decided to adapt it. I removed one piece of perspex and use it as a house/next. Fudge loves it!

This is an excellent accessory for any cage with bars. It is a good size for both Syrians and dwarfs. One downside I found is the placement of the ladder; because the hooks are in the middle of one side rather than flush with the edge, and the rungs are quite far apart, my ham didn't realise that this was the way to get up onto and down off it. I've modified it by taking out one of the hooks and putting it back in by the edge, but the wood is very crumbly so it's not too secure.

My Syrian has had this for a good six months now, and she sleeps in it (filled with Fitch!) every night, and hoards in it (and sometimes pees in it - she tells me it's *that* multifunctional) The base slides out - helpful because after a while pee got into it, and it had to be removed. The ladder is a bit steep for hamsters going down, and was eventually chewed, so that went. We rarely see her against the perspex, but ultimately what matters is that she thinks it's the bees knees for sleeping!

Great fun for out of cage time and to hide treats in. This size is big enough for a Syrian hamster (there are smaller versions on the market). As is usually the case with these wooden accessories, they can be imperfect. I had a very wonky/wobbly ladder and after a couple of days a small section had to be re-glued. But Zooplus was the cheapest I could find for this item, so still worth the money.

We love this fab wooden toy, but unfortunately our hammy just doesn't get it. She has sniffed it and chewed it, and has even been inside it (briefly!), but simply won't dig through it - not even when we hide treats in the wood shavings. Shame! It's a great product though, and well made, but essentially a large and expensive gnawing block for our Pip!

My gerbils didn't quite get the point of the box. They went in from the bottom, pushed all the sawdust out and ate the ladder. Nevertheless they loved it and it kept them occupied for ages. I do wish it was possible to buy replacement ladders for it though.
