Bigger World - MDF Aspen Terrarium for Hamster Gerbils Mice Lemming Degus or Other Small-Sized Pets(30 x 15 x 17.7 inches, Burlywood)

This enclosure exceeded every expectation. Our Djungarian hamster, Gub Gub, has turned into a full-time explorer thanks to the space and layout. The footprint is generous, allowing a proper wheel, deep bedding, hides, and enrichment without feeling cramped. The height is especially good, he can burrow real tunnels, not just shallow dips. Build quality is solid. The acrylic panels are clear and sturdy, and the ventilation keeps everything fresh without sacrificing security. Access through the top is straightforward for cleaning and feeding. Assembly was quick and everything fit together cleanly. Packing was very high quality and protective. What I appreciate most is how calm and comfortable Gub Gub seems in this setup. No rattling, no drafts, and full visibility so we can check on him without disturbing his routine. It feels like a proper habitat, not a compromise. Stability is fine but not meant to be moved. Over all value for money is well worth it. If you want an enclosure that looks good, functions well, and genuinely improves your hamster’s quality of life, this is the one. Gub Gub approves—and so do we.

I love this cage as I have bought three of them. 2 Large and 1 Medium. They are all easy to build if you read the instructions and the labels on each piece. Back Board means it's the back of the cage. On the bottom board, you have two stickers, Back and Front to tell you which way it goes. Pros: 1) The large is the biggest cage available in the US and it is huge! Medium would be better if you had a robo or a dwarf hamster but for your Syrians (esp the females) get the large. It's worth the extra space. It's SO DEEP, you can fill so much bedding in it. For you hammy to be it's happiest, you want to have 6 to 10 inches of bedding (they love more if you've got it!) and in this cage you can provide that easily. 2) It's easy to build, I am not a good builder, honestly, a bookshelf is a challenge lol but it's like a puzzle just snaps together. The silicone bands are easy enough to snap it together, I am appreciative of anything that I don't need a tool for. 3) I love how it's clear acrylic all the way around so you can see easily! I love seeing my little hammy dig his tunnels. 4) It's sleek looking so it would be hard for your parents to complain about how it looks. I have mine in our living room. 5) Nice big slits for air holes, I don't worry about closing the top of the cage at night. Cons: 1) Build it where you want it, it's not easy to move when put together (you can however take it apart but you may need more rubber bands, easy to find, just look up silicone rings). You can move it a little bit but you could snap the rings. 2) It's held together with silicone rings, which is both great because you need no tools and terrible because they can break (when you are putting them on and when you are moving them) Do yourself a favor, hook the band on the top and pull down, makes it easier. I bought an extra pack because I heard they could break while applying but I only broke a few while figuring it out and they give you way more than you need. 3) It's chew resistant but not proof. If you have a gerbil or mouse this is not the cage for you, it's MDF board, one little chip and they would be able to get it (also because the little slits at the top would be easily escapable for a mouse or something smaller than a hamster. I haven't had any issues with my hamsters chewing out, I think it's because they like the cage and because I give them play time outside the cage at night so they are happy to come home to the Hamster Taj Mahal as my husband calls it. Honestly, this is the cage I love more than any. You can get a 65-100 gal aquarium probably on Craigslist or on sale for slightly cheaper but they are SO heavy. I have an adopted hamster that came with a 65 gal and I can't lift it by myself. I looked at many, many cages trying to find the perfect one, this isn't perfect but it's close. All the nite angel products I've tried have been good quality and my hammies love them, especially the wheels and this cage!! (In my pictures, I ran out of bedding so I will be adding more in the shallow end as soon as my next order comes in lol)

I have a Syrian male hamster living in this enclosure. I was debating between this and an Ikea Detolf, but this enclosure has more depth and width despite a little less floorspace. I also had around 50" along the wall I wanted to use, but not 6 feet for the Detolf. Overall, I'm really happy with this purchase, and I think my little Yam Ham loves it too! Pros: This is the largest enclosure available that exceeds the bare minimum of floor space specific for hamsters and mice within the US. It also meets the German care standards minimum if this is something you want to model your care after. I would recommend the largest enclosure for Syrian hamsters, but the medium size might be okay for a lazy or older Syrian male. If you want to go larger than this, you'll have to build something yourself. It's pretty spacious and does allow for interesting set-ups and lots of enrichment. You can easily fit 12"+in of bedding and still have room to add a wheel and other items! Niteangel carries a lot of high-quality items that you can match to your enclosure color and theme. The lack of bars means that you can easily watch your friend and their shenanigans as well as watch them burrow! Unlike a 75 gallon aquarium (equivalent in floorspace), you can pack this flat when moving or if you decide to not have hamsters for awhile. I hear a lot of people on hamster groups say they've heard this enclosure is hard to put together. I didn't feel it was at all. I've had more trouble with some Ikea furniture. It's pretty straight-forward and took about 30 minutes to assemble. I would recommend having a helper and to use the gloves they provide (they include two sizes, which is great for my tiny hands) unless you want to break your fingernails left and right when adding the bands. Cons: It is a little on the flimsy side, but this shouldn't be a problem for most people. I would err on the side of caution if you have kids or large dogs who like to run around and crash into things. For a clumsy adult, I haven't had any issues thus far. It is a little tricky to bend over and clean. Quarantine has me out of shape and my little dude prefers to burrow to the bottom and poop/pee in corners rather than use his chambered hides. So when it comes to cleaning, I have to get in there and try to clean, and it's a bit rough. I see that they have other models of this enclosure available in China, as well as an opening latch on the front window panel for this model. (Also, floor wheel attachments!) That would make cleaning, interacting and arranging much easier! My little guy has froze and gotten a bit startled since it's top-opening, so that may be something to be aware of too. Mine isn't skittish (ethically bred) but you might want to take care with how you reach in if you have a pet store / rescue hamster. Overall, if you want something spacious enough, but don't have the ability to DIY, not sure about using a Detolf, I would highly recommend this enclosure! While there are a lot of barred cages out there that meet/exceed the minimums, this particular enclosure is just a lot more pleasing to look at and offers flexibility in what you can do with it.

J'ai acheté ce produit il y a 1 mois pour mes gerbilles et je l'adore. Beaucoup d'espace et suffisamment profond pour pouvoir mettre beaucoup de ripe de papier. Mes gerbilles sont heureuses, elles se font pleins de tunnels. En plus d'être de qualité et de grande taille, cet habitat est vraiment beau. Je l'ai trouvé très facile à assembler. Je l'ai monté seul et cela m'a pris 20 minutes. Je recommande ce produit.

Absolutely in love with this cage! Super easy to assemble and great quality. My hamster is really happy!

Following the instructions, it was easy enough to put this together! I got this cage/enclosure a couple months ago, have no issues with it. It's big enough for my hamster to explore & place all the accessories! I was happy it came with gloves, it definitely helps putting this together! 👌

I bought the large version of this cage for my Syrian hamster after watching a few reviews on YouTube. The cage is well made, looks very nice and quite sturdy. It's easy to put together and you get everything you need to assemble so the price is understandable but it is quite high. You do get quality for it though. There are 2 small cons for me though which is a personal thing. 1st I'm not a fan of the rubber band system with which the cage is held together even if they are firm in place. Secondly you get an acrylic plate for the bottom inside of the cage and he instructions tell you to use paper tape to seal the gaps to avoid urine seeping in to the small gaps. That too is something I would prefer they had made better If they could come up with something else for the paper tape situation that'd be good I am giving five stars because despite those two small bits this is still a really good cage overall

My hamster Oreo loves to burrow so this cage is amazing as it’s big enough to put lots of bedding for him to burrow in. There is plenty of space for all types of enrichment for your hamster as well!
