Product Information
Full details
The Urbn-Living Small Pet Hamster Terrarium is designed for hamster owners seeking a spacious, secure, and transparent habitat for dwarf or single Syrian hamsters. Its primary benefit lies in the generous 47x36x23cm footprint that supports natural behaviors like burrowing and exercise while maintaining excellent visibility of your pet. A notable caveat is that its compact dimensions are best suited for a single pet, and the open-floor design may require careful bedding management to keep the enclosure clean.

FAQs
Can this hold more than one hamster?
It is recommended for a single Syrian hamster or a pair of dwarf hamsters, though monitoring for territorial behavior is advised.
Is the material safe if the hamster chews it?
The surfaces are made of durable, smooth plastic; however, if you notice your pet chewing the edges excessively, provide wooden chew toys to redirect their behavior.
How often should I clean the terrarium?
Perform spot cleaning daily to remove soiled bedding and a full deep clean once every two weeks.
Can I use a water bottle with this cage?
Yes, you can attach a standard water bottle to the mesh top or through the sides if the design allows, ensuring it does not obstruct the locking lid.
Does it come with a water bottle included?
No, the kit includes a wheel, house, and food manger. You will need to purchase a water bottle separately.
Troubleshooting
The wheel is making noise during use
Ensure the wheel is fully snapped into its mount and not rubbing against the side of the terrarium.
Pet is escaping or the top feels loose
Check the locking mechanism on the net cover to ensure it is snapped firmly into the locked position.
Bedding spilling out during cleaning
Use a small hand-held brush to clear the edges of the base before re-securing the top cover.
Pros and Cons

- Generous floor space for dwarf and Syrian hamsters
- Secure locking system prevents accidental escapes

- Smooth surfaces facilitate quick and easy cleaning
Cons
- Limited to single-pet occupancy

- Not suitable for larger rodents like guinea pigs or rabbits
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the terrarium is straightforward: start by lining the base with a high-quality, dust-free paper or aspen bedding. Position the provided shelter house in a quiet corner and securely attach the food manger to the wall or side. When cleaning, remove all bedding and wipe down the smooth interior walls with a pet-safe disinfectant. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could leave a strong residue. The top mesh cover should be checked weekly to ensure the locking clips remain tight and that there is no dust accumulation that could hinder ventilation. If you own a Syrian hamster, monitor the space carefully, as they are larger than dwarf breeds and may benefit from more frequent spot-cleaning of the waste areas.
