Dingo Home for Dwarf Hamsters and Mice

I have this cage and it is attached to a Crittertrail one, 2 crittertrail mini one's, a habbittrail outpost, and a crittertrail outhouse. It makes for a great setup, and basically a mansion for my 4 dwarf hamsters. I am undecided if I love this cage or hate it... you can descide for yourself, but here is some pros and cons to help along:

Pros:

LOVE the 2 layers, really gives them that burrowing feeling that is so comforting to them.

Easy access to the lower level.

Pretty solid.

Cons:

Connections are weak and hard to adapt to crittertrail tubes, even thought they are listed as compatable.

You must buy door kits if you plan to add any tubes or other cages, they are somewhat hard to find.

The wheel is COMPLETELY obnoxious although safer than some of the ones I have seen it was removed after 1 day of my dwarf hamsters finding it. I tried to put a Silent Spinner (the most safe and silent and best quality wheel I have ever had the pleasure of owning) but there wasn't enough room, so I put 2 of them elsewhere in my system.

Not much ventalation, although with my setup this isn't as much of a problem because of the other cages connected. This is an issue as small animals can DIE from the ammonia of there own urine if not well ventalated.

The top half of the cage is hard to access.

All in all, if you are adding this to an existing system with good vent. and you don't mind buying door kits, finding specal tubes, and only handleing your pet when they feel like comming out, it's a good cage, but PLEASE at least add a small cage with good vent. and put a silent spinner wheel in! :)

I wish I had read the online reviews here before purchasing this at PetSmart.

Our pet mice are now dead, thanks to this gas chamber.

The Down Under Dingo Home should not be sold as a stand-alone cage. Don't buy it unless you are connecting it with open access to another well-ventilated cage.

I completely disagree with other reviewers who though this cage wasn't top quality. I connected this cage with two others and this is by far the favorite for my hamsters. My Campbell's hamsters absolutely love this cage and in fact my girl had babies in there twice in succession because she felt so safe in there. So now I have 6 hamsters (girls because I put the boys in another set of cages) and this is the best cage because it is sooooo easy to clean, you just unsnap one orange hing on either side and lift up the plastic to clean, and my hamsters really love it here and I can just remove the purple lid on the side to have them come out so I can pet them. The wheel is really nice and it's inside the cage so the hamsters don't throw stuff all over my floor and it's true that it gets loud after you have it for a while but if you put a tiny bit of corn oil on the part that connects it to the cage it will stay quiet. My hamsters really like going into the orange "underground" compartment and hang out in this cage the most.

This is a great cage for one or two MICE of DWARF hamsters-but not for larger hamsters or garbles! I have had my cage for a few months now and it has been working really well for my single male mouse.

Pros: Easy to clean, easy to take apart and put back together, the "underground" area for the mouse to sleep and burrow in is great and he really enjoys it, you can add other cages or accessories to this cage.

Cons: Poop gets stuck between the 2 parts of the wheel and it must be taken completely apart to clean, the water bottle leaks, and unless your pet is people friendly, it can be difficult to get them out of the cage by means of the lid.

I got a Robo Hamster and this cage last Friday.

Initially, we were happy about this cage.

But this water bottle didn't work! So, my hamster got dehydrated and died on Monday....

This company specializes hamsters and small animals-they should know better!

I don't know how many hamsters has / will be suffered this kind of cage... but from my experience, use glass aquarium and high quality water bottle! Don't buy this cage! It'll kill your hamster!
