 Absolute Best Home for SyriansApr 16, 2009
By The Jersey Devil
I'm really surprised that large chain stores don't carry this product. This is the best housing solution for Syrian hamsters we've found in years of looking. Combine this with a $10 glass aquarium and its the cheapest as well. Plastic "...trail" products are not durable, are a pain to assemble and hard to keep clean. Metal cages are durable but expensive and not as flexible. What we've done is combine Crittertrail parts with the platforms that come with this kit to get the same effect as a larger all-plastic cage. As for those who complain that the shelving gets chewed...um, duh...thats how these little guys explore their surroundings and that also tells me you aren't offering them an alternative to help wear down their incisors. Cleaning this setup is a snap, the cover comes off in one piece--along with any attached shelves & parts--giving you easy access to litter for changing. Housing potential mates next to each other allows Syrians to interact a bit without sharing the same cage--preventing fights b/w incompatible suitors. The biggest drawback to this product is the tendency for Syrians to "pitch-their-poop" if their on the second floor--but training them to use a corner box in the aquarium can minimize "collateral damage." Finally, rodent urine will eventually lead to rusting of just about any cage, but repaint & seal with quality non-toxic spray paints and you're good to go.

 Adds extra spaceApr 01, 2010
By M. Rosenstein
I bought two of these for my kids hamsters and the one hamster does great climbing and doing everything the cage is for. The other hamster fell off the top when she started sliding and refused to go up again so now the cage is in the basement.
Its also not as easy to get to your hamster since if she is in the tank you can't just open the top and reach in unless you have super long arms so you must remove the entire top which for a kid can be tough. I worry that they will not hook it right and it will get knocked off and the cats will have lunch.
Often the hamster food ends up all over the place too since its set in the top part and if you are not completly steady it spills.

Nice but not for gerbilsJun 02, 2006
By S. Corum
I would have given it 5 stars but my gerbils chewed the house up within a week or two and now after a couple of months they no longer have ramps. Currently, they're working on chewing up the shelves.
So I'm off to buy one that's entirely wire. Wish I had done that in the first place!

Aquarium Topper CageJan 11, 2007
By Vera R. Boals
"Sojer"
Great idea, but the plastic in the ramps and platforms isn't going to last much longer with my gerbils...they have chewed completely through one ramp and one platform. This would be a much better product if the ramps and platforms were made of a different (harder) material, or of wood. (The wood to give the gerbils something HEALTHY to chew on) Would be better if it came with an extra set of ramps and platforms until then.

How i made this safer for my hamstersOct 25, 2010
By Jean
This is a nice topper, but I was concerned about my hamsters falling from the top so this is what I did ~ I bought some hamster tubes ( I used CritterTrail ones) and a tank screen cover, the kind with two holes with covers that come off so you can put the tubes in those. I got the screen cover at walmart for 8 bucks. Anyway I put the screen cover on the tank, put the various tubes (took some time to get the tubes snapped together right) through one of the holes and ran the tubes from the bottom of the tank to the top of the screen cover, then I put the tank topper on like normal, the screen cover does not interfere at all with the tank topper. The bottom ramp lays on top of the screen cover and it works out well because now the topper has a floor and I am not worried about them falling and getting hurt or possibly dying. Also adds more space for my hamsters to walk around and I think they like climbing up the tubes.
It takes a little adjusting with the tubes to get it right and where its easy for them to climb up to the top, but its worth it. I thought it might help those with similar concerns about their hamsters, mice, gerbils, falling.
I wanted to add that if you didn't want to use the tubes there are other screen covers that have doors in the middle of them that you could just run the bottom ramp through. I imagine there is a way to use any screen cover.
