Measurements should be made clearer!
I purchased this for my male syrian hamster, Chester (he's on the smaller size for a syrian so I thought this Would be perfect, and it is but I have just one problem). The measurements for the base are wrong, by only a few centimeters but it makes a Differnece, and quite a pain if you ordered specific toys to fit (I oreder a lg cabin with multiple rooms for the base floor). The base starts of with the given measurements, but curves inwards and has a three centimeter thick ledge which results in loss of floorspace. Not a huge matter, but it still bothers me. The second level is also almost impossible access with only one rather small door, so finding things to put in it (I couldn't even fit a willow tunnel with a 10cm diameter through the door opening) is quite a pain also. The doors are also extremely hard to open, but I suppose that's probably just because it's a new-ish cage. I've found a solution for taking the pins out of the wooden levels for cleaning - a good ole pliers does the job like a gem, so cleaing isn't a an issue. Also nothing was broken in the shipping of this cage along with a glass water bottle from Germany to Ireland, so for that I'm rather impressed.
Over all it's a good cage, and you really couldn't go wrong with the price. The positive things outnumber the negative, and Chester loves it (maybe apart from the fact that he can't have his beloved hammocks due to the levels, but he has plenty of space!).

really good cage for my 9 girlies
i have 9 mice in this cage and i have been very impressed with it. however i have had to use japlac on the shelves as they are made from wood and can easily soak up any mess. also i have found with both the shelves in i was unable to put all the toys in and hangs so i only use one shelf and i am able to fit loads more toys in there. the tray is kinda flimsy and when we got it through the post it had a small crack in the corner that has only grown. having said that having duct tape there has slowed it down. i have also purchased the barney hamster cage for my male mice and when i have less mice i am planning on joining the 2 together which means i can get rid of the tray for this one. other than that the delivery was very speedy and i have been on here more since i have got this cage however i think i have exhausted this website for random toys for my little furries. however i regularly get bedding from here and sometimes get my babas a little something whether it be treats or toys because the prices are so competitive.

Really Nice Cage
I really took to this cage with the other reviews and the fact that it had three levels.My hamster pepper was miserable in his other cage. But now he is a happy boy out and about exploring everything. Instead of sleeping most of the time. He was not very keen to come out of his cage tonight to go in his exercise ball. Ordered on 6th arrived today 11th that was good considering theirs the christmas rush. Went out and ordered more goodies for his cage from zoo-plus tonight. ACCESSORIES WERE NICE But too small. Got my joiner friend to make holes bigger in the house and the tree toys. Now He can use them. Only bad thing to say is the tray was broken slightly at the bottom. Would get this cage again as Im thinking about getting another hamster.

Patak Palace
My latest hamster Patak loves his new cage. I have four syrian hamsters (all kept seperate of course) and this is my fourth purchase of this cage. All my syrian hamsters love these cages. As with my previous review the accessories are way too small for syrians but ok for dwarfs. Also remember to wash the red house roof as this colour will bleed out of it and you might end up with a red mouthed hamster if he/she chews it. Lots of space for a hamster to run around in and lots of space to add wheels and toys etc. Keep a check on the price as it does go up from time to time. I paid £69.00 approx for this cage which is a good price especially when you see how much and how small lots of cages are. Easy enough to assembles. Also hamsters still like to come out of their cage even though the cage is big. My four hamster Chorizo, Butternut, Pedro and Patak and all relaxed, active and happy hamsters living in this fantastic cage.

Great cage for the hamster in your life!
I rescued my hamster from the RSPCA. I was concerned why she ignored her wheel and was generally a lazy hamster! My research found that the wheel I had for her was too small that's why she was ignoring it. Also her cage was too small. I searched high and low for new cages and this was the only one I found which had the floor space along with the levels as my hammy likes to climb. I was really worried she would chew the wood levels but she hasn't as she has so many other wood toys to play with. Great cage, would defo get another :)

Best cage ever
I have just bought this cage for my syrian hamster Butternut. She was sleeping too much so we invested in this wonderful cage. The toys are not really suitable for a syrian hamster but great for a dwarf hamster. Added own toys to the cage so has become a very customed cage now. Kept the hamster house which is great. As read on another review wash the roof as the red dye will come out. Much appreciated advice as my hamster is mainly white so she could have ended up very pink. I think this is a fantastic cage. Arrived within 5 days of ordering. All in one piece and easy to assemble. Great space for a syrian as Butternut spends most of the night running around and playing with her toys she loves it. I have replaced the wheel with two silent spinners as this wheel is a bit noisy. I have already done a quick review but am updating this as I have now just ordered another one of these fantastic cages for my other hamster Chorizo. She has a rotostak but it looks so small now against this cage so decided she must have this wonderful cage to run around in Obviously one cage per one hamster as must live alone. Can't wait until it arrives. It certainly made Butternut very active indeed. Looking forward to putting Chorizo in the cage and watch her run around. Good value for money and creates a very happy hamster. Large cages for a hamster not easy to find so thank you zooplus

Butternut delight
This is the best cage ever. Not difficult to put together. Butternut loves it. Was sleeping too much in her old cage but is highly active now. Added my own wooden chews as the ones that come with the cage are better suited for dwart hamsters not Syrians. Added two silent spinner wheels but kept the house. Wonderful cage

palace for mice
really happy with this cage so thankyou. it arrived quickly and in good condition (though a little corner of the tray had snapped off but easily fixed and could happen with anything regardless of how much you package it) this is an amazing cage for my four girl mice, they didn't know what to think of it at first but are whizzing up and down now they are very happy. i am going to coat the wooden shelves with a none toxic paint thats easily wipeable and where the pee wont soak in, although i have full newspapers on top of the shelves around most of them and they seem to be fine. The shelves are tricky to get in but managed it. accessaries great and very useful as theres a lot of room to fill. the space is the best that ive seen in a cage suitable for mice (narrow enough bar spacing). thankyou zooplus- well worth the money :)

Fantastic cage
After looking around for a week or so for a new cage for our new Syrian Hamster, this seemed to be perfect. My hamster loves it, it fits very well on my shelf in the front room and looks great. One corner was a bit damaged when I received it, nothing worth sending the lot back for, a little super glue fixed it. Overall the reviews really helped me make up my mind, I am not disappointed at all and my hamster loves it, I am sure!

stimulating enviroment
Great cage lots of interest!! A little bit fiddly to put levels in! but overall a good size and due to the three levels creates an interesting and stimulating environment.I have not put in the wooden tubes yet as a little worried a syrian may get stuck perhaps they more suited to dwarf hamsters. (will try to hollow out a little more) Hamster very happy!! Looks good too! nice neutral colours.

Leon Small Pet Home
Very good quality cage. Our new syrian hamster has great fun running about on all three levels - there is sooooo much space! Great for fitting in all those fun toys for hammie to play with. Quite heavy so very sturdy once in position. Slightly difficult to get the hamster out of, but I just think we need more practice at it. Floors aren't that easy to remove for cleaning once in position, so you have to clean them where they are, which isn't really a problem, just a comment. We researched lots of hamster homes before buying this one and we are not disappointed. Would recommend to anyone. As previous reviews, we did soak out the red dye from the hamster house roof before use (maybe the manufacturer could sort this one out surely!!).

I have a very happy minnie
I bought this cage for my hamster minnie as i had a really small one from pets at home, they dont seem to supply big cages and i soon learned that my cage was more for dwarf hamsters and i have a syrian, her wheel barley worked beacuse of her weight and it was cheap plastic, she is not fat but she has got really big, some people say she is boardering on guinnea pig lol, so i felt that she really needed more space, i bought her this cage and i dont think she could be happier, granted the layers are really tricky to get in, i hope she pees on the sawdust as i dont ever wanna talk them back out to clean, my tray also turned up abit cracked but after waiting long enough i just taped it. i do worry some how she will get out as her cage before was more plastic so less risky, she is an escape artist. i also bought her the wooden wheel which is fantastic, i can now see she was desperate for a wheel. very very happy minnie with a hole lot more space, she dont want to come out any more :( xx

Ideal Home For Mice
I ordered this cage for my 5 baby mice and I'm very impressed with the size and quality. My mice were 9-10 weeks old when they went in, so quite small still, but the small bar spacing means no escapes. The only down side would be the wooden shelves, over time when the wee sinks in it would smell, but I simply painted the shelves with Japlac (brought from homebase) and problem solved. Excellent cage for value :)

Fantastic Cage!
So easy to put together and very large so suitable for a serian hamster with a lot of toys!
would definitly recomend this cage!
although the items that come free with the cage are pretty much useless as they are to small for a syrian hamster to fit through but are very cheap to repalace & add your own taste.
Cheap cage to buy as wont need replacing when hamster gets to big.

Great Cage. Good service form zooplus.
The Cage arrived very quickly after order however the plastic base was cracked and broken on one corner. I emailed zooplus with my problem they sent out a new cage (which arrived 3 days later) and they also arranged for a courier to pick up the old one too. Very friendly service and quick to respond, it was no trouble to replace it.
The cage itself is great once you get it set up. The wires were a little bent at first but after I got the levels in they straightened out. The ladders are a bit tricky to put in, you have to make sure you put the first ladder in before you put the second ladder in other wise you won't get it in. I also swapped out the hooks for clips to prevent them from coming out.
I was worried about my hamster weeing on the wooden floors but she hasn't so far and they do clean quick easily with a pet friendly wipe.
The accessories are a little too small for a syrian hamster but I bought all my own toys seperatly anyway. The only thing I did use was the house. Just make sure you soak the roof, the red dye runs straight out and doesn't come of things easy inculding your pets! fortunatly I was aware of this before hand so I didn't have any mishaps.
I had to bend one of the bars a little to get the water bottle in but that was no big deal really.
Over all an excellent cage well designed so they can't fall from a great height, spacious so there is plenty of room for them to run about and to put toys in. My hamster loves it! I'm considering buying another hamster and I will definitly be buying another one of these cages if I do so.
