FAQs
What type of small animals is this cage best suited for?
This PawHut 5-tier cage is primarily designed for Syrian hamsters and gerbils. The bar spacing and tube diameter are most appropriate for these specific types of small pets.
Is the assembly process difficult?
Assembly is required and involves connecting various plastic and metal components. While straightforward, it is recommended to follow the provided instruction manual carefully for best results.
How deep is the bedding tray?
The cleaning tray is 17 cm deep, which allows for a generous amount of bedding to accommodate natural burrowing behaviors.
Can I easily move the cage?
Yes, the cage is equipped with wheels, making it easy to glide across floors. Two of the wheels have locking brakes for stability.
What accessories are included with the cage?
The cage comes with a hut, a food dish, a water bottle, and a 19 cm exercise wheel.
Is the bar spacing safe for all hamsters?
The bar spacing is 1 cm. While suitable for Syrian hamsters and gerbils, it may be too wide for smaller dwarf hamsters, potentially allowing them to escape.
Where is the storage shelf located?
The hidden storage shelf is located at the base of the cage, designed to help organize pet supplies without cluttering the main living area.
Troubleshooting
Cage is wobbly
Ensure all connections between tubes and platforms are fully secured. Check that the wheels are properly attached and that the locking brakes are engaged when the cage is in its final position.
Pet seems unable to navigate levels
Observe your pet's behavior. If they seem hesitant, consider adding small ramps or additional bedding to create easier transitions between levels. Ensure the tubes are securely attached and level.
Bedding is escaping the tray
Ensure the tray is correctly seated within the cage base. For very active burrowers, consider using larger, heavier bedding materials or increasing the depth of bedding carefully.
Accessories are not fitting securely
Verify that you are using the correct attachment points as per the assembly manual. Some accessories may clip onto specific bars or platform edges.
