Habitat

This cage has been awesome for our hamster. We don’t use the tubes, so we’ve blocked the two holes easily so he cannot escape. We use tubes in the playpen instead because I worry about them coming apart and having a hamster on the loose! We like that...

We hand one of these in Maverick's cage. He prefers the apple one pictured here but there are other varieties as well.

We use this to transfer Maverick from the cage to the playpen and back so there is no risk of dropping.

This bedding will often go on a BOGO sale! We use the plain brown odour control variety but sometimes get fancy with holiday theme too to switch it up! It is very compact in the package so it is long lasting.

Play

This is perfect for playtime or extra room to run around while we clean the cage. It is easy to wipe clean and folds completely flat quick and easy! We add Mavericks wheel, water and a treat and he has lots of fun running around.

Once and a while we put Maverick in his ball to run around more of the house, always supervised and away from the stairs!

The wheel that comes with the cage is much to small for a regular size hamster. This is the 12" one we use and Maverick loves it!
