Sahara Cage - Unique & Modern Cage for Hamsters, Gerbils, Degus, Rats, Hedgehogs, Reptiles, and Other Small Animals (Large)

After I assembled it .. me and my son had to pick it up and move it to a spot in the house that was a little higher up.It was a struggle to not pull my back out. The material this was made from was supposed to be PVC but after a few weeks of my Hampster living in it ,she decided she wanted to break out and was successfully chewing through one wall on the bottom corner.I looked closer at the material and saw that it was PVC lined but a foam core .Somehow I have managed to stop my Hampster from biting further by putting large heavy stones on top of her escape route.. 😂 I def won't be buying this again.

Knowing a hamster needs at lease 800 sq. Inches this enclosure is perfect! Allowed for 6” of bedding to allow burrows and plenty of space for all the accessories to keep a happy hamster! Easy to assemble.

*update* my original review is below, but after a few weeks I am now having trouble deciding between 2 stars or 1 star. The plastic is not dense. It is so soft, our hamster chewed a small hole through it in one evening. The front glass panel is terrible. It is so thin and flexible it is a liability even if I seal around the edge.I am having trouble deciding if I should score it a 2 or a 3. With some work and materials not included, I am reasonably happy with it. If I had to deal with it the way it comes out of the box, it wouldn't have been usable. Compared to other options around the $200 price point, it kinda sucks. It should be half that price.The front window is very flimsy and flexible, and just sits in a slot with gravity. You could easily absent-mindedly pull it up and all your bedding and hamster could pour out. I will need to use some sealant to hold it in place, and even thrn it will be very wobbly, due to the thinness of the acrylic.The window in the lid is held in place by extremely cheap bits of metal like what I've seen on the back of picture frames to hold the backing board in. It fell out immediately, down into the cage, when I was setting it up. Could have badly hurt a hamster, or allowed one to escape. I got some small nails and pressed them in around the window to hold it in better.All the edges between walls and floor have small gaps, so I will need to seal those too. Several corners of the plastic walls and floor were slightly damaged in shipping, and considering the material, that's probably inevitable. It is not a heavy duty plastic. But slightly smushed corners dont bother me much.So, if you are willing to do some DIY to inprove this thing, it might be worth your time. For the money, if you can manage it, just go to a pet store and get a 50 gallon aquarium instead. This shouldnt cost nearly $200.

As long as you set it up properly (and tight), this cage is perfect. It is a great size (the large) and is so easy to clean. I love it!
