Niteangel Vista Hamster Cage W/Oblique Opening Cage Door - MDF Aspen Small Animal Cage for Syrian Dwarf Hamsters Degus Mice or Other Similar-Sized Pets (Small - 32.9 x 17.2 x 21.1 inches, Burlywood)

It’s worth every penny. Well made, easy to put together. Take your time and read the instructions because, like with ikea stuff, sometimes you can fit pieces together multiple ways but there actually is a CORRECT order to follow that makes life easier. Hammy loves it! Great for deep bedding and burrowing.

I ended up buying this because we purchased one at PetSmart that was way too small for the Syrian hamster we adopted there. The wheel they recommended was so small he reached both sides while trying to run. I didnt want to spend the money on such an expensive enclosure but the hamster was displaying signs of stress and we wanted to provide a humane and engaging place for him. I chose this one because of the size, ventilation and slanted lid. It was much larger than expected and the perfect size. My teenage daughter wanted to put it together herself and she said it was relatively easy. After reading other reviews (I always start with the 1-star review), I was worried it would be kind of cheap looking. Not at all!! The wood is particle board but had nicely rounded edges. I love the innovative design. Its easy to clean and with the slant lid design, its easy to reach straight in to interact with Artie. It was a LOT bigger than expected. He is much happier. I did order a 10inch wheel which was too big for him but everything I bought from the brand is very well constructed. It is a problem that I find myself wanting to buy more. Im one toy away from it being too much! The price was a little high but its good quality.

Assembly is relatively easy. I purchased the medium size, and there will be plenty of room for a hammie to run around. I purchased the wheels as well, and it glides around easily. The wood is sturdy enough, but it’s also relatively light for its size. The only issue I can see it that the rubber bands used to hold the wooden sides and top together pop off pretty easily.

I was impressed with how easy it was to set up. I didn’t realize it would be as big as it is but that’s my fault. I like theirs products are more natural looking g for an overall theme. My baby seems to be super happy.

pretty easy to put together overall! i love how much room it has to offer for my hamster as well. i’ve had a few cages by now and this one’s my favorite!

So far I really like this cage, it looks really good I love having it in my room, much more than my bin cages. Lots of space and tall so I could give my Cleo plenty of bedding. The only complaints I have is theres a gap where the door opens, it worries me a bit. As long as she can’t get out though I won’t be bothered by it. Also when putting it together one of the hinges was put on wrong (I added a picture) and I had to unscrew it and fix it myself bc at that point it was already almost put together and I was not ab to return and wait for another lol cage lol. If it holds up well I might buy the niteangel bigger world for my other hamster gus. So far 10/10

The 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!!!

So much space. Pretty sturdy, I suggest two people for fastest and easiest assembly. Easy to put together. Had some reservations about the silicone bands but they went on fine and I’ve had no problems. If there’s a gap between the lid and the front wall you. An adjust the hinges up top and it will drop down to close the gap. Also, let it settle. Mine seals perfectly against the silicone protector.

I 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.

i have a syrian female hamster and they are definitely hard to please with cages! i have gone through 3 other cages and she seems to like this one the best, or tolerates it the best.
