> 3 dayThe cage is very easy to assemble, sturdy, big enough, and it has a fantastic and modern design. I can see my dwarf hamster from any angle. It also has good ventilation and I love the way the door opens, really practical. I have bought other products from Niteangel and they are all excellent. I highly recommend this cage and the Niteangel company!!!

12-06-2025I love the volume of this enclosure. Not only is the floor space well above the minimum, but the space and depth inside is so good for providing your hamster with a deep compacted variety of bedding and herbs. Other Niteangel products fit snug inside, like the chamber hides and tunnel watch boxes. A very large wheel fits well on the side, and the rest can just be packed with all that bedding that hamsters need. Adding sprays and enriching toys on top of all of this makes for the perfect enclosure for a hamster. I was able to put this together myself, it came with a sheet of instructions and supplies. Gloves, paper tape, nails & a tool to install them, acrylic sheets, and a silicone strip to prevent the lid from chipping the top of the enclosure. There was no need to use other supplies because this came with everything you need to build it. It took a while for one person, but it can be done. The enclosures ventilation is also good, it never becomes too hot or too cold inside. You can also hang chew toys from the ventilation slits on the top of the enclosure just fine. If I ever got a second hamster, I would not hesitate to buy a second of this one!

> 3 dayAfter watching Victoria Rachaels hamster videos we prepared a more humane home for our fluffy syrian boy. Her glowing reviews of this product got us very excited for it! I thought for the price that this cage might be too good to be true- and it is. ***First off however, let me say that I TRULY appreciate NiteAngel for making a cage large enough to actually be humane for these sweet creatures! Our hamster seems to truly enjoy the space of this enclosure and my kids and I have so much fun planning and putting together his natural habitats :D *** When the box arrived on our doorstep we were all jumping up and down in excitement - but upon opening the box we realized that the cage is not made from wood, but a laminated type particle board. a thin plexi glass type screen sits in the frame for the clear areas. The instructions were easy enough-my engineering minded 11 year old put it together completely by himself under our supervision and only accidentally put one part upside down. We were worried when we saw that the edges dont create a seal on each side- and TAPE was provided to seal it :( Im glad that the tape was included, but I would have preferred the edges to actually fit together better. I would also LOVE a clear TRAY to be included in the bottom instead of just a sheet of plastic. This would better seal the edges and make it easier to clean I feel like the company has put a lot of thought into this product and I truly appreciate that - plastic bumpers are included for the sides and top where the hatch touches the bottom when it closes - but they fall off extremely easily. When we moved the enclosure from the living room to the kids room where it currently lives- it nearly fell apart :( After setting it all up again in the bedroom we placed the bottom plexi glass type barrier on the bottom and filled with several inches of bedding (recycled paper fluff). **** PROS **** -Large enough for a Teddy Bear Syrian Hamster -Has a barrier at the bottom to keep wetness from rotting it away -Easy lift hatch at the top and air holes at the top to keep well ventilated -Humane for pets -Looks nice in any room -Deep enough for lots of room for burrowing -Well thought out design **** CONS **** -Flimsy construction materials -Not water proof -The only way to clean it is to scoop everything out by hand -Needs to be sealed better at the edges -Door hatch could use a handle TAKEAWAY NiteAngle is the only company I know of that creates humane hamster enclosures. Their designs are well thought out but could be sturdier. A solid wood option would be great :)

Greater than one weekI adopted a Syrian Hamster a little over three weeks ago. It has been years since I owned a hamster and science has evolved and standards have changed. I purchased the biggest cage they had which was a 430 sq. in. at the Pet store only realizing very quickly how small it truly was after speaking to the woman at the store. I knew I needed to get a bigger enclosure immediately. I came home and researched many enclosures and watched many review videos trying to figure out which enclosure to purchase. I decided to go with the Niteangel Vista Large with it arriving a week after I adopted her and just in time as she started frequently chewing on the bars of her small cage and she appeared to not be happy with her limited space. I have had the enclosure for about 2 weeks now. Overall, I am extremely happy with my choice and Harley seems to be very happy as well since she can now burrow and has more room to explore. Setup was easy, but an extra set of hands is helpful otherwise you are trying to juggle putting it together. I ran into an issue where the lid was getting Stuck when trying to close it. After investigation, I realized the little metal cylinders that are supposed to rest in the holes located on the side walls where the lid connects were missing. Please be mindful when opening up the packaging to not lose these as they are freely placed in the side wall holes and easily fall out if you dont know they are there. Niteangel should think about putting them in the plastic bag with the screws. I located one on the floor and the other fell out inside the packaging. I saw another review of a customer complaining about their lid getting stuck so I thought this was worth mentioning. Once I placed these in the holes and reattached the lid, I no longer have an issue with the lid getting stuck. Works smooth as butter now. The lid is heavy so you dont have to worry about your hamster pushing it open and squeezing out. The lid stays open on its own so you can use both hands when reaching into the enclsoure. The enclosure is lightweight but cumbersome to move due to its size and requires two people to move it after it is assembled. It appears to be sturdy while in place but I would not attempt to move it before breaking it down first for fear of bending the MDF board or it get racked out of alignment. As others have stated, I would recommend building the enclosure where you plan on setting it up as it is massive. You dont realize how big it truly is until after you have it set up. The quality of the MDF board seems to be somewhat sturdy and I love the plexiglass bottom to protect the floor of the enclosure. I would recommend an acrylic sandbox for pottying. Harley is solely using her sandbox for going to the bathroom which I think would save the urine smell from seeping into the MDF and keeping the enclosure smelling fresher. I would have liked to seen a hardwood option where I could seal the edges with aquarium sealant instead of tape. I dont feel comfortable using sealant on the MDF board as it would be permanent in the event I need to break down the enclosure should I ever need to move it. I installed the tape as best I could, but it seems to be more forgiving over the sealant for disassembly. I had to move the enclosure to the floor to install the tape as I had to practically climb inside the enclosure to get the tape affixed which was a pain. Unlike other reviews, I was fortunate as none of the silicone bands broke while installing them and they were very easy to install. I LOVE the slanted lid. It makes it much simpler to reach into the enclosure to clean and interact with her and she doesnt feel threatened since I am not coming in directly above her. Due to the size it and having the correct amount of substrate/tunneling system does make it more difficult to locate your hamster and you are forced to wait until he/she decides they are ready to wake up and come out to play for their daily interaction. The plexigass sides and front gives you a great view of your hamster to watch them as they explore their environment when they are awake. Cleaning is another chore in itself. It is not as simple as just dumping the substrate and wiping it out. As I mentioned, this enclosure is massive and heavy once you load it up and probably not as durable for moving to dump it out in one fell swoop. You will need to get a dust pan or a scoop in order to remove the substrate and then you can vaccuum any leftover pieces before disinfecting the inside of the enclosure. It is not terrible, just time consuming. If you have this on a table like I do, you will most likely need a step stool to reach into the very bottom of the enclosure. I placed my enclosure on a Lifetime Height Adjustable Craft Camping and Utility Folding Table that supports up to 200 lbs evenly distributed measuring 48 inches x 24 inches with a 2x4 Non Slip Rug Pad Gripper under it to keep it from sliding. I wanted to comment on that since I struggled finding something to place the enclosure on and the legs have Adjustable Height Settings (22-Inch, 24-Inch, 29-Inch and 36-Inch) which is nice to be able to set it to a height you desire. I wish someone would have provided that information in a review so I could save myself time finding a compatible table. Overall, The enclosure is big enough to support the hide box, tunneling system, 11 wheel, sandbox, platforms and other enrichment items to keep her entertained. The many configurations are endless. The cost of this enclosure I feel is a bit steep for the type of material being used. I truly feel this is a great investment for your Hamster compared to other options currently available in the US.

08-06-2025These cages are hands down the best cages for hamsters you can get. They stand out in an industry that doesnt seem to understand that size matters. At roughly 47x22 inches, this cage gives you 1,034 square inches of space, easily 3-5 times the space youd usually get for a hamster cage, and thats not even counting burrow space if you fill it with a good amount of bedding. This will give a far happier life to your little fur ball, hands down, and thats why I give this 5 stars. However, the boards are held together with rubber bands, and it does feel a tad flimsy. No tragedies have struck yet, and I doubt there will unless the roof caves in, or someone decides to handle it in a less than lovingly tender way it deserves, but it is my first impression. The instructions are clear, everything was labeled and packaged with care, and everything fit all together. This brand has never failed me in cages or accessories and this cage is absolutely worth the buy unless you live on a fault line.

> 3 dayI ordered the small, which fits perfectly on my dresser. I would love to have the space for the larger one in the future, and when I do I will get it. It was fairly easy to put together, but I wish the corners fit tighter together. It comes with tape, which was annoying to put down. I wish there was a plastic corner piece instead. I went all in and purchased the platforms, wheel, hideout, and water bottle from Niteangel, and they are all good quality. I have the space to have six inches of bedding for my hamster to burrow in and she loves it.

> 3 dayExpected better quality from a reputable brand and for the price. This arrived today and my girls were so excited to put this together for our new hamsters. Right away we noticed some of the pieces were damaged. It may have gotten damaged during delivery but I feel better measures should have been in place to ensure protection. We still were able to assemble it. Though we couldn’t get the silicone bands around two of three of the damaged parts, we thankfully were still able to put it together once we screwed everything in. I may try to add another screw to the bottom corner for extra stability since it’s still not completely secure if you push it out. The lid however is pretty flimsy as it keeps getting caught when you lift it and try to put it back down which is annoying. On the positive side, the hamsters are very happy in their new home.
