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)

Excellent size and structure design. Easy to build, the taping can be tricky but you could use alternative sealing methods but they could prevent you from taking it apart in the future. My lid fully closed perfectly but my left front side was slightly off and wouldn’t screw together tightly but it’s not noticeable and the tape seals it inside. Way better than any enclosures I’ve tried and I’ve tried them all!

The minimum recommended size cage for hamsters (any species) is 450in² (1143cm) The 32.9x17.2x21.1 cage sq inch is 565.92in² (1437.4cm) The 40.7x22.7x22.9 cage sq inch is 931.68in² (2366.4cm) Which is x2 the recommended size. The 47.1x22.7x26.9 cage sq inch is 1068.48in² (2713.9cm) Which is x2.37 the recommended size. There is no Maximum recommended size, the bigger the happier. With the two larger cages you could split the cage in half and have two hamsters in one box. This enclosure allows for more than 3 inches of substrate (below-recommended minimum) Personal experience: My cage was very quick to set up with only a few broken bands. they gave me around 8 or so extra bands so it was no worry. One thing to keep in mind is the fact they use acrylic for the side panels which means if you use paper bedding you WILL have static issues. (however, this means you can remove some dust from the bedding by wiping down the sides) Assembly/ Setup: This tank is very easy to assemble. I put mine together quietly and quickly. If you are movement restricted I can see this being a little hard but doable by yourself or with some help. In the set up they gave you paper tape to waterproof the edges of the tank. This of course will not actually be waterproof, resists water at best. I do recommend putting the tape in as it will stop bedding and possibly little fingers from slipping in the cracks. tl;dr this is the best cage by size, assembly, and visibility I can find for a decent price on the market.

I love the volume of this enclosure. Not only is the floor space well above the minimum, but the space and depth inside is so good for providing your hamster with a deep compacted variety of bedding and herbs. Other Niteangel products fit snug inside, like the chamber hides and tunnel watch boxes. A very large wheel fits well on the side, and the rest can just be packed with all that bedding that hamsters need. Adding sprays and enriching toys on top of all of this makes for the perfect enclosure for a hamster. I was able to put this together myself, it came with a sheet of instructions and supplies. Gloves, paper tape, nails & a tool to install them, acrylic sheets, and a silicone strip to prevent the lid from chipping the top of the enclosure. There was no need to use other supplies because this came with everything you need to build it. It took a while for one person, but it can be done. The enclosures ventilation is also good, it never becomes too hot or too cold inside. You can also hang chew toys from the ventilation slits on the top of the enclosure just fine. If I ever got a second hamster, I would not hesitate to buy a second of this one!

The cage arrived thoughtfully packaged and was quick and easy to assemble, it looks great and is the perfect size for the dwarf hamster I’m about to adopt. It’s worth every penny, I couldn’t be happier with my new cage.

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.

Lovelovelovelove this habitat. It was kind of hard to assemble at first because it is so large, but it is definitely worth it and looks like a piece of furniture rather than a hamster cage. Especially when you set it on the wheels, its so easy to move around. It is lightweight and made of plastic and particleboard but through months worth of cleanings it still looks like new (I have had it about nine months in this pic) My hamster is potty trained so i dont really have to worry about her peeing on the bottom of the habitat, but even so there is an acrylic insert and masking tape to prevent any leakage you might have. Id just recommend taping up the corners extra good! Or even substituting duct tape for waterproof. Its easily removable. Overall even though this was expensive, it was the best purchase I made for my hamster and she no longer tries to escape her house!

These cages are hands down the best cages for hamsters you can get. They stand out in an industry that doesnt seem to understand that size matters. At roughly 47x22 inches, this cage gives you 1,034 square inches of space, easily 3-5 times the space youd usually get for a hamster cage, and thats not even counting burrow space if you fill it with a good amount of bedding. This will give a far happier life to your little fur ball, hands down, and thats why I give this 5 stars. However, the boards are held together with rubber bands, and it does feel a tad flimsy. No tragedies have struck yet, and I doubt there will unless the roof caves in, or someone decides to handle it in a less than lovingly tender way it deserves, but it is my first impression. The instructions are clear, everything was labeled and packaged with care, and everything fit all together. This brand has never failed me in cages or accessories and this cage is absolutely worth the buy unless you live on a fault line.

We had a minimum size hamster cage (about 450 sq in) but it wasnt deep enough for burrowing or for a really big wheel, and our long haired Syrian hamster is one lively little guy who needed more room to roam - I saw this cage, the Niteangel Vista, and it was just what we were looking for. It looks like a really nice piece of furniture; very attractive, was packed incredibly well, and was super easy to assemble. Our hamster loves it!

I love this hamster cage it’s so cute and gives my hamster space to roam. It was a little hard to put together only because of the bands you use instead of screws but other than that it’s fine. sometimes it’s a little hard to clean but i still get it clean. love love love this cage

This cage is big and spacious but how do u prevent ur hamster from escaping he bites the tape that is holding the side so litter can’t get out. I’m thinking of returning it $250.00 and u still have to worry about ur hamster getting out. Any advice?
