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)

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.

I really recommend this brand if you can afford it and I never usually have complaints I only have two issues with this cage and it’s that there are stickers to tell what sides are top/bottom up/down etc I wish they were easier to peel off so I didn’t have to do extra work and that the screws in the front had a better starter hole since when I screwed it it completely missed the frame and messed it up the second time it chipped the wood so I decided to not screw it in those are my only complaints though every cage is gonna have its flaws

We just love this enclosure. I can see my hamster so well, which is fun for me, and she has so much space for activities. She loves the depth of bedding and all the different options for laying out her enrichment. Wish Id purchased this sooner. I was worried/hesitant due to price, but this really is THE cage. So worth it.

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.

Gone are the days when it is considered acceptable to imprison small animals in cramped, plastic or metal cages. The niteangel Vista is a humane and BEAUTIFUL enclosure that will make you and your owt feel good. Assembly isnt difficult, but it helps to have an extra set of hands. As recommended by other reviewers, I sealed the interior with clear aquarium silicone in leui if the provides tape. I ordered the bottom wheels (sold separately) to make it easier to move. This thing is a beast and difficult to move, so the wheels are a nice add-on imo. I had a lot of fun filling this enclosure with accessories and designing the layout. All of the niteangel products are wonderful and I plan to get more thing says my budget allows. Anyway, this is a great product and worth the money for me. Im very happy and hope it holds up.

The white one is the 47inch and the burly wood is the 40in. The cage was pretty self explanatory. There are instructions in the box to reference. They supplied these circle stretchy bands to attach to the puzzle parts. Some of them broke but they give you extras in the bag. I love this Night Angel better than the other cage thats not angled. Its definitely worth the investment if you want to provide the right amount of space for your hammie. A good spacious environment is a happy hamster.

This is the best cage ever my hamster loves

So nice and spacious. It is an investment but you will not be disappointed. This is a nice brand and a beautiful cage! Our hamster is very happy living in her large and spacious cage.

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.

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.
