This was the first cage I bought for my average-sized/large Syrian hamster. I only had it for about a month or so before she outgrew it though. One really good thing about this cage is that it is compatible with all Critter Trail accessories. Within the month I hade it I had connected two accessory packs (the hideaway/loop/wheel one and the tower/look-out one) in order to create an extensive habitat for my hamster. Unfotunately, I quickly found out just how hard it is to keep these winding/extensive cages clean. On average it would take me almost an hour to clean just to thouroughly clean out this cage (with the accessories.) Not to mention she had quite a hard time squeezing herself through the narrow tunnels/into the cramped hideaways after a while. The grass hideaway that was included she had absolutely no interest in, the colors are "kiddish" at best, and the plastic accessories will break with minimum stress. However, the wiring can't be beat! It is absolutely chew-proof! It's the only cage (besides her current Super Pet My First Home For Rats) that she wasn't able to chew through within a matter of days. It is also very convinient that this cage comes with the bedding, food, and other and other essentials necessary to "bring your pet hamster home." This is especially amazing seeing that the price will blow even lower-quality cages out of the water! I highly recommend this cage for dwarf hamsters and smaller Syrians!
