Habitrail Cages Reviews

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 ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

Whilst I agree that the plastic spinning dish is a waste of time and only there for decorative purposes, I have had no issues with instability (it does take a lot of brutforce to get them in properly though). The extra room is not just for sleeping in. It can be used just for hamster/ gerbil/ mouse to explore into. It can be extended easily with ...  Read the complete review

I love habitrail! I brought the ovo suite for my two winter whites. I also got them a maze and additional tubes dens etc. they loved it, though one day they decided they didnt love each other as much and i had two separate them.

Prior to the accident I also ...  Read the complete review

I purchased the Habitrail mini main unit for my two dwarf hamsters, it seemed a good option and was said to be specially designed for dwarves. I was very pleased with my new multicoloured hamster habitat but I soon realised there were many problems: my hamster managed to escape very easily (by turning the lid of the lookout tower and jumping out) ...  Read the complete review

The habitrails, both the space station and the safari range are great fun, I kept mice in mine, with both cages connected together, which the mice loved. The wheels are fantastic, being asthetically pleasing as well as highly entertaining for the mice, who never seemed to stop spinning the whirly things. The negatives I found where that the wheel, ...  Read the complete review

When i first saw the habitrail playground hamster home i was attracted to its originality of design. However I discovered it was difficult to construct and flimsy. My hamster did not use the space dish type wheel provided with the cage, probably as it is designed as a peice of plastic for kids to look at. The external rooms which can be connected ...  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.

We brought our Habitrail Space Station cage in August, initially just with the Outpost accessory for him to nest in. We got it all ready before we got the hamster so he'd settle in straight away. Once he arrived he liked it but we decided we wanted more for him to do so we then brought the outer wheel accessory and some tubes to ...  Read the complete review
