Habitrail Cages

My daughters have one of these cages in there bedroom for there hamster. In the wild hamsters tunnel under ground to make there homes as it is cooler under ground and hamsters come from hot arid countrys. A typical hamsters home in the wild will have a couple of tunnels from the surface going underground (he must be frightened of a fire seen as he has gone to the trouble of making a fire escape.) these will lead to a chamber he will have dug to live in and off this chamber will be several tunnels to store his food in or go to the toilet in. Habitrail have designed there cages with different compartments and tunnels to recreate this ...  Read the complete review

Caution! Sadly my hamster Nobbie broke his leg in the Habitrail hamster-weel that comes with the Habitrail Playground, and had to be put to sleep! The accident happened when he got his tiny foot stuck in one of the several gaps between the two plastic sides that comes together to make out the wheel. Prior to the accident I also observed how he found it a bit scary to use the wheel, as his poor hamster eyesight prevented him from always seeing where to step, as one side of the Habitrail-wheel is transparent .(All hamsters have poor eyesight.) But it never occured to me that he could get his foot caught and breake his leg! Other hamster-owners ...  Read the complete review

Having an 8 year old animal lover, desperate for a hamster doesn't really present too many problems....you go to the pet shop, choose the cutest hamster, pop him/her in a box and off you go.

You can have anything from a basic red plastic and wire cage to a total space station, as well as a playground, a castle and whole number of other little scenaric homes. These developments in "hamster abodes" are mostly under the name of ...  Read the complete review

The Habitral Ovo is the latest design from the Hagen brand Habitrail, which is a style of plastic hamster housing connected by tubes, and all the older styles of Habitrail are becoming discontinued. However, there is one major flaw with the Ovo cages that weren't quite as big an issue with the others...they are FAR too small. The Ovo cages look very modern, they are orange and white and have a "shell" style top that can be pulled over the cage. Available is the Suite, a small round cage with tubing to provide a small nest area above the main cage, the Pad, which is the small round cage on its own, the Maze, which is a smaller add on unit, and the ...  Read the complete review

As I have a Russian Hamster, I needed a cage that was going to be suitable for her, she's called Daizie. Initially I wouldn't have went for this cage as Russian hamsters are one of the smallest hamsters possible to buy, and this can cause a problem, especially with these types of cages. ----So what are they?---- Habitrail are cages that are for smaller animals like hamsters, although other larges animals may be able to fit into them it's not really recommended, as there wouuldnt be mush room for them to move around in. The basic design is a large living area, with a few tunnels that run off from this which joins onto another smaller ...  Read the complete review
