Pawhut 5 Tier Hamster Cage, Gerbil Cage with Tube Exercise Wheels, Tunnel, Water Bottle, Dishes, 58H x 46L x 30Wcm, Green

Ignore the negatives on this product. I was apprehensive due to the reviews, it looked fantastic. It was delivered next day (thanks Amazon). It’s a Pawhut product which I’ve used many of and never had any issues.This product comes with instructions, it’s very simple to put together. The colourful tubes take a bit of time as you have to line them up and then attach. Not difficult but time consuming. The cage itself is sturdy and perfect for a small animal alone. I have never built a cage so easily. There were a few small fiddly bits but I am wearing acrylic nails so definitely made it harder!The cage is now built and due to home a hamster soon. My one and only criticism which was mentioned before is about the shelf being flimsy. It is but with some out of the box thinking it can be stable.The cage comes with a small water bottle and attachment. A wheel and attachment, little plastic food bowl and a small plastic house, all optional to use but for the price and brand you can’t go wrong. I’m very impressed!

This cage is not suitable for a Syrian hamster, as it is smaller than it seems in the pictures. It is difficult to assemble and the instructions aren't clear - no wording with the instructions, just diagrams. The whole cage is very flimsy, the shelves, tubes and wire cage itself feels like it will fall apart at any moment and is easy to bend. I would not recommend. The base of the cage itself is not deep enough for a hamster to naturally borrow to remain happy. The clips to secure the cage to the base are very weak and the handle on top is not strong enough to carry the cage. Very cramped space - will be buying a larger set up.

After reading the reviews, I made a very nervous purchase of this cage. It arrived quickly and well packaged. Is it a nightmare to put together? No, it's straightforward, just time consuming. Is fitting the tube tunnel together a horrific experience? Yes, yes it is. Again, not rocket science but definitely fiddly and if you trap your skin, painful!But overall, this is a brilliant cage. We used it as an extension for an existing cage and the gerbils just love running around the tubes and ladders. Defo get a glass of wine to make the construction easier but in total it took me an hour (would have been shorter but I was trying to stay very quiet to not alert my partner to my latest ridiculous expenditure, providing two gerbils with a 6 storey mansion). I really recommend!

Very hard to put together

An absolute pain to clean. Plus the shelves fall off if you have an active hamster like I do. Don’t buy if you have baby hamsters as they can squeeze out between the bars of which I found out one evening when the hamster appeared between my feet from under the sofa!

Great qualityIgnore the bad reviews because either the issues have been fixed or there talking rubbishIt is a bit fiddly to out together but no problem and solid just take timeThe hamster wheel fair enough bit flimsy and the ladder isn't the bestBut other than those minor issues best value hamster cage I'm as excited as my boy about it nowLooks the nuts and big enough to add extras later like shelves, more tubes space for more toys ect

Awful product, hard to put together, then once together it doesn't hold well, all shelves moved, doesn't have easy access to clean etc and when you access it it all falls, the door doesn't close properly! Not fit for purpose at all, very poor design

Now I won't be totally critical of this item as the hamster has been in it 3 weeks and still in there so it does do its intended purpose. However if you have any respect for your sanity you will avoid purchasing it as the assembly is nothing short of torture. In total it took me 3 hours to put it all together and even then it still wasn't 100%. Non of the pieces really want to match up together and when they did getting them to stay where they needed to be was almost impossible. Some of the plastics used are the type that any force used on them will cause then to snap (and you will be forcing pieces together). This should really take 30 mins to assemble but do to the lack of any legible instructions and parts that are really poorly made and mismatched sizes left me wishing I had purchased something else. After 2 and half hours I had completed the cage build with only one remaining part to install, that being the roof of the cage. This last part just did not want to fit not even anywhere close without leaving huge gaps that the pet would easily escape so my solution was to use some zip ties along the top where the gaps were. In summary just don't buy it over priced and terrible quality.
