"These little fruit hideouts are the cutest thing ever, I just HAD to buy the strawberry. However, my Syrian hamster had zero interest in it. I don't think she ever even went in, even with food inside to tempt her. Perhaps it wasn't big enough for her liking, or it didn't suit her fancy, but I was quite dissapointed when she didn't use it and returned it in the end. I feel these are probably better suited for dwarf hamsters.
One thing I noticed is that the plastic inside really has a strong "plastic-y" smell. Even after I washed mine out 3 times, with citrus soap none-the-less, it still smelled! I was a bit worried of her inhaling the plastic fumes if she decided to sleep in there.
Adorable product, and very well made, but it just didn't work for my little one."
