If you want to get a cage that won't require any extra investments later on, the Lixit Animal Care Savic cage will be your safe choice. Coming with several plastic platforms, the space of the case can be arranged in many different ways, allowing your pet to keep active, climing up and down the levels. Just like most standard cases, this one includes a feeding bowl, a water bottle and a plastic sleeping house. Besides basic accessories, there's also a long tunnel in the box that you can put inside the cage and let your hamster skitter about or snuggle up, or, possibly, use it as a path between several connected habitrail units.
The cage features a convenient plastic toilet (an accessory rarely found in other models), a wheel, and a roof platform with a metal grill, a great solution to let your pet exercise its small legs while walking on it.
Those who are planning to get another funny small pet, such as a bird, should think about purchasing a bird cage as well.
Top Quality Materials
Made of high-quality materials, the Lixit Animal Care Savic Hamster Heaven Cage will easily last years. The base of the cage is made of plastic that is enough to rinse to keep clean. The top blue wiring has 0.37" spacing which suffices for medium and large breeds like Syrian hamsters and provides excellent air circulation inside the cage. The additional accessories from the kit are made of non-plastic too and absolutely safe for furry little creatures.
Conveniences Any Owner Will Appreciate
After we've covered the features designed for convenience of your pet, we'd like to focus on the things that make it convenient for an owner too. To clean the cage and access its contents, it's enough to unlock the side clips on the base. The size of the base is deep to prevent the bedding and litter from spilling out of the cage. To allow quick and easy access to a water bottle and a feeding tray, the cage has been fitted with a big entrance door. No chances your hand might get stuck in it! Besides all the listed conveniences, we like that the cage has the side handles that allow users to grab it and go.

Elegant Cage
The Ferplast 2-floor Hamster Cage attracts attention right away. It’s roomy, it looks stylish and it’s definitely high quality. 2-level construction with a transparent base will look classy in any interior, not spoiling the decor of a room. Let’s take a closer look at the design of the cage. Unlike many of the counterparts, this cage offers one undisputable advantage - you can actually see what’s happening there in the lower part of the cage due to the transparent plastic of the base. This can be a lot of fun, especially for families with kids. All accessories that come with the cage are red and look incredibly trendy against the top black wire net. The corners of the cage are well-defined and will help your hamster orient itself in it much better.
As opposed to a common belief that a hamster cage should be kept away from a bedroom, you can place the Ferplast 2-floor Hamster Cage anywhere in your house! The spinning wheel is here so quiet that you’re unlikely to hear it at all.
Two Floors!
The plastic platforms included in most cages can divide the space inside only partily, which is not the same as to this model. The Ferplast has a one-piece wire net divider with two holes, one for the ramp and the other for the hamster wheel. This way, the first floor can become a playground for your hamster where he can bury itself in the sawdust, while the second floor will work best as "a lounge zone" where your pet can eat, drink and sleep. You will like the option to connect the cage to some other modular-style tubes, creating even a bigger playground environment for your small friend.
The cage is easy to clean and maintain since you can simply unlock the side clips and detach its top from the bottom. Additionally, it has a small top-opening door ensuring easy access to the feeding tray and the water bottle.
Let Your Hamster Drink Fresh Water!
Let's see how leak-proof hamster water bottles work. Most of them are fitted with water dispensers that release water only after a hamster touches a nozzle. This peculiarity of the bottle construction allows you to keep the bedding inside the cage clean and dry. What's more important, however, is that the water in these bottles remain fresh for a longer time too, and you don't need to change it too often. The installation of a watter bottle is done with the help of a clip that you need to attach to the wire, with a nozzle facing towards the inside of the cage.

If you're not sure yet what pet to buy your kid as a present, consider reading our review on rabbit cages. Maybe your child would rather have a decorative rabbit than a hamster.
About the Bedding
Comfy bedding is essential for hamster's health (and for reduced odors)! The most popular bedding is wood shavings that you can buy in any pet shop. Mind you, not all shavings are safe for hamsters and if you don't want to cause any damage to your pet's health, you should approach the choice of bedding carefully, consulting a vet assistant. The most evil shavings that you are better off are those produced from cedar and pine as they are known to cause respiratory problems. Since wood shavings also vary in size, make sure to check they don't contain too big chips that might hurt your hamster.
Best For
Coming with all needed accessories that pets need to stay active and entertained, this cage will become the best option for owners of medium- and large-sized hamsters. Don't ever try to place two hamsters inside one cage; they live best when they live separately. You wouldn't say from appearance that the creatures these furry and small can act so agressivelly towards each other, but that's what they are.

For Active Pets!
Hamsters are active creatures and they need to exercise a lot to be fit, healthy аnԁ happy! The 3-tier IRIS USA Hamster and Gerbil Pet Cage with many different play areas and a transparent roof will provide them with ample space to get around without feeling cramped. To ensure that your little friends can move from level to level comfortably, the cage has been equipped with several bright yellow plastic ladders. We've particularly liked that it's possible to take the pet out of the cage once it's on the roof thanks to the additional two hinged doors. Comparing many other hamster cages, the 3-tier IRIS USA Hamster and Gerbil Pet Cage stands out from most of them due to its successful blend of aquarium and wire net design that can provide you with the view of your hamster and keep the cage well ventilated at the same time. Another great news, this cage is incredibly versatile and can be bought for all breeds of hamsters, as well as gerbils, mice and other small rodents.
Essential Accessories
Probably, not everyone knows that hamsters living in the wild can run from 5 to 10 km overnight. So, cute pets we keep in a cage also need to run a lot, and an exercise wheel is quite an important accessory. This IRIS hamster cage is fitted with a sturdy wheel that you should attach to the back of the cage. The wheel is made of solid plastic and is totally safe for your small furry pet. Concerning its size, it's about 5.5 inches in diameter and is perfect for dwarf breeds. Yet, if you own a Syrian hamster, the wheel might be too small for it.
To keep your hamster healthy, having a hamster wheel only isn't enough. You should also control the food you give to your pet to prevent it from becoming obese.
Pet Treats
Any hammy (actually, like most pets) loves stuffing іtѕ cheeks wіth јuѕt anything! But being a conscious owner, you should give your furry buddy a balanced food. Since hamsters are omnivores, it's better to opt for high-protein pellet mixes containing seeds, grains, аnԁ corn. As for special treats, уοu саn add fresh foods to уοur hamster’s diet. Give your pet nuts, fruit, greens, carrots, lettuce, аnԁ cauliflower several times a week. However, don't do it too often, otherwise, your hamster may refuse to eat pellet mixes at all. Also, keep in mind that in no way should you give your small pet chocolate or candy! The last but not the least, all hamsters need a constant fresh water supply, and luckily this cage comes with a food dish and an automatic water dispenser!

What is a Hamster Cage
Hamster is a fun, entertaining, and adorable little animal perfect for families with children! These furry pets are a real joy to their owners. Kids really love watching them move inside their cage, playfully running up and down the ramps all day long or digging іnto a burrowing tank. Yet, hamsters can't tell us what they need and it's our responsibility to provide them with a cage that will make them happy, healthy, and energetic! Choosing a cage for your hamster should be done with consideration, for this is the least you can do to provide it with a decent living environment. We are here to help you out!
Those consumers who are happy to have a dog too should also consider buying a dog house, while a travel cage may become a great buy for those who often travel with their pets and worry about their comfort and safety.
What Features to Compare
Size
First and foremost, it's important that the cage you choose offers your pet enough room and doesn't limit its movement. For dwarf breeds like Roborovski hamsters or small gerbils, the dimensions of the cage should be around 10" x 20" , while for bigger breeds, like, for example, Syrian or Golden hamsters, the size of the cage should make at least 15" x 35" and more. Remember, a roomy cage is important for your pet's physical and mental well-being.
Material
There are three main types of hamster cages: a wire hamster cage, a modular cage, and a so-called "aquarium". A wire hamster cage is the most common type that comprises a plastic base and a metal wire. Most people prefer this type of cage over the others for some of its evident advantages such as a good ventilation and an option to connect it to more habitrail items. Most metal cages are chew-proof and powder-coated to prevent rusting.
Bar Spacing
Getting a cage that your hamster might squeeze through makes no sense! Thus, check whether the bar spacing is small enough to not let the tiny body slip out. The maximum space between two adjacent bars should not exceed 0.2 ~ 0.25 inches for dwarf hamsters, and 0.3 ~ 0.5 inches for larger hamsters.
Set
The majority of cages feature feeding trays, water bottles, as well as wheels, ramps, tubes, and other accessories to give your hammy plenty of ways to keep active and entertained. Running οn a wheel, scuttling through tubes, climbing up and down the ramps... аƖƖ thеѕе activities will help you keep уοur furry pet healthy аnԁ happy. In addition, some models include a small nesting box where your hamster could rest and have some privacy. Multilevel cages are usually divided into a separate sleeping area, a playing area, and a feeding zone.
