Dual-access openings simplify feeding and cleaning, helping create a secure and enjoyable home. This large habitat offers 0.5 square meters of floor space with a deep base suitable for 20cm of bedding. The acrylic-and-metal construction gives this cage added resistance to chewing damage, minimizing escape risks while supporting years of long-term use. The top mesh door opens independently for quick feeding and interaction, while the entire lid lifts for decorating, spot cleaning, or full habitat maintenance. Strategically placed side vents and a breathable mesh top allow continuous airflow throughout the enclosure, helping reduce humidity and odor buildup. Featuring four transparent acrylic panels, this hamster house offers excellent visibility, allowing you to observe nesting and foraging from various angles.

FAQs
Does this cage come with accessories?
No, the cage is provided as a habitat structure; accessories like wheels, hideouts, and water bottles must be purchased separately.
Can I use this for other rodents?
This enclosure is specifically designed for hamsters. Other rodents with stronger teeth, like rats or gerbils, may require different enclosure types.
How do I secure the top lid?
The top lid is designed to be sturdy and heavy enough to remain closed, but always ensure the locking mechanism (if provided) is engaged during use.
Is the base waterproof?
The base is made from materials resistant to bedding moisture, but it is recommended to spot clean any accidents promptly to preserve the longevity of the base material.
What is the total floor space?
This model provides approximately 0.5 square meters of floor space, which is ample for most hamster species.
Troubleshooting
Acrylic panels appear cloudy
Clean the panels using a soft microfiber cloth and a gentle, non-toxic glass or acrylic cleaner diluted with water.
Hamster attempting to chew the frame
Provide more chew toys or wooden sticks within the habitat to redirect natural gnawing instincts away from the cage structure.
Ventilation feels insufficient
Ensure the top mesh is not covered by heavy accessories or blankets and verify that the side vents are not blocked by external walls or furniture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly: Unpack all components on a soft surface to prevent scratching the acrylic panels. Ensure all screws are tightened to stabilize the frame.
Bedding: Fill the base with compressed paper bedding, ensuring it is packed firmly enough to hold tunnels.
Compatibility: This cage works best with freestanding hamster wheels, as the acrylic panels are not designed for side-clipping wheel mounts.
Maintenance: Spot clean the cage daily using a pet-safe disinfectant. Wipe the acrylic panels with a soft microfiber cloth to keep them clear. Avoid using abrasive sponges, as these will scratch the surface and reduce visibility over time.
