Excrement Everywhere!
Date: May 20, 2009
"I thought the wheel on top was a great idea as our dwarf hamster would have an additional place to go and we could get a better view of him when he was there. However, the wheel spins food bits and excrement all over the place. Does not make for a healthy environment in the home."

junk
Date: May 18, 2009
"This prodeuct is poorly made, it does not stay together very well, and some of the pieces do not fit properly.
Also,
my hamster makes a mess with it because anything she puts in the wheel falls all over!
This is the worst hamster cage I ever had and I have had many."

Junk!
Date: April 24, 2009
"I raised hamsters when I was young, and always kept them in a 10 gallon glass tank with tubes on top. Well now I have a hamster for my own children and figured well lets try this new fun looking hamster cage. This cage is literally junk, I would not pay $5 for it if I knew what I know now. Like most others have mentioned the wheel setup is not ideal, although clever. The hamster fills it up and makes a huge mess, and it fell off several times, so we can't even use it now. The slide does not attach well, and has been broken by trying to get it in place right. Our hamster can push the cage door right open, (we had to wire it shut). The latches on the side do not latch properly. One piece to close one of the sides was missing when purchased. This thing is being held together by tape and wire. Take my advice and spend the $10 extra for a decent cage."

worst purchase ever
Date: April 19, 2009
"I purchased this cage today for my daughters new hamster (1 of them) and when I pulled it out of the box it was broken, one of the tabs on the bottom tray where it latches together. Also it was a pain to put together and is very poor quality for the money paid, nothing fits together tight. After all that the water bottle has a continuous leak and needed to place a bowl bellow to catch it. Now Im in a hard place because I needed to seperate the little one for her safety, which will make returning it tomorrow difficult. I have no idea which one to go with but it will not be this one. Paid $44.00 to much in the store."

It's a good cage.
Date: April 17, 2009
"I like this cage because it's spacious and it's got enough to keep the hamsters busy. I found that a lot of the other cages that I looked at were too small or too plain (hamsters would get bored easily). Assembling it wasn't that hard yet it wasn't what I would call simple either. It just takes patience. The only problem I have with the cage is that the hamsters tend to bring their food/bedding up into the wheel. So when they run it, it can create a little mess since there is air holes at the bottom. Also, if they carry food in the wheel and keep it in the wheel while they run, it can get pretty loud. My hamsters tend to do that a lot but thankfully I'm a deep sleeper so it doesn't affect me as much as it would with others. Otherwise, the wheel is fairly silent.
Cleaning it is not that hard but I would recommend using a good disinfectant on the wheel because the hamsters also tend to urinate in the wheel. I went to clean the cage for the first time today and the urine smelled so strongly. This was after a week so it doesn't take much to dirty up the wheel."

ABSOLTELY HORRIBLE!
Date: April 15, 2009
"I got this cage for my hamster, Lucy. I can even tell he does not like the cage. PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS CAGE!
reason
1. If your hamster or rodient is a chewer, they will chew the metal bars and that woke me up at 3:30AM.
2. When I got this cage and I was starting to put it together, the first thing that I noticed was that a little piece that was a very importent piece that holds the wheel together, snapped off.
3. Also the wheel does not spin unless somebody is spinning it.
4. So many pieces fell off!!!!
Trust me, this is DEFINATLY NOT worth your time AND MONEY! I was mad aswell as my hamster! =["

Disgusting cage!!!!
Date: April 15, 2009
"I have never written a product review before, but this cage has put me over the edge! Do not buy it!!!! The hamster puts all her food in the wheel which sends it flying when she exercises. And worse than that - she poops/pees while in the wheel - so guess what else goes flying all over the room and the top of the cage? Sick & stinky & unsanitary, to say the least."

Could be better
Date: April 13, 2009
"Okay, so here's the thing with this cage, it's nice looking and my syrian hamster seems to like it. But she, like most hamsters, likes to put her food up in the little wheel. I've determined that this is because she doesn't have enough floor space in the cage, and it's quieter up in the wheel. So the two of us have reached a sort of compromise. I took the bedding from her wheel and put it into the little viewing area. She seems okay with this, and to give her a little more room I shelled out some extra money for some more tube extensions, which I change the pattern of every week or so, to keep her entertained. This cage would be alright for someone who has owned Hamsters or other small cage animals before, but I would not recommend it for new hamster owners or college students who are hiding their hamster in their room, because it should be taken apart at least every two weeks to clean the plastic because the ammonia from the hamster's urine builds up after a while in the tubes. Also, sometimes the Syrians seem to like to put bedding and sleep in the extension tubes. Make sure to keep an eye on them, because when they get older they get bigger and it can get difficult for them to move through the tubes."

Great Cage

"I have seen and tried this cage with my mouse, and he LOVES it. Its great if you have 2 mice in the cage at the same time, that makes the Superpet Critter Trail Xtwice as fun for the mice and you."

I hate this cage.
Date: February 13, 2009
"The cage was bought for me and my hamster by my parents. I hate it. The part that the wheel snaps onto get so dirty it doesn't go in circles anymore. The two latchs on either side of the cage have snapped off.The petting zone broke so I can't open it with out the lid falling off. The slide never wants to snap in. The door doesn't want to close or open! I do not suggest this porduct for anyone! expecially for regular hamsters. My dwarf hamster almost got out. If a dwarf can get out a regular hamster can get out! I will NEVER buy another critter trail cage aslong as I live."

Horrible Cage!!!
Date: January 20, 2009
"PLEASE READ BEFORE BUYING!!!
This is a horrible cage! I bought this cage for my hamster thinking it would be a nice cage and funner then the normal square bar cage I was sadly mistaken within minutes of the hamster being put into this new cage it got out. The bars don't lock very securely and when my hamster wasnt getting out it was carrying food into the wheel and turning it into its potty then it could'nt turn the wheel right and it was very noisy. But of all that the thing I don't like the most of all is the fact that its not very secure and hamsters can get out very easily"

It's okay if you get rid of the wheel.
Date: January 19, 2009
"When I saw this cage on the shelf, I thought "Oh, cool, it looks like a fun cage." Indeed it is a fun cage...for the hamster. It's a pain to put together for the pet owner. It's also a pain to clean.
My hamster brought bedding and food into the wheel. At night, we could hear the food bouncing around as she ran. After 2 nights, the wheel itself started getting really loud. The plastic parts holding it in start to loosen up and move around, causing the annoying sound of plastic crashing together. The plastic wheels that allowed it to circle around on the track also started squeaking.
Furthermore, the holes in the bottom of the wheel allow for urine to and feces to fall out and onto whatever surface your cage is resting on. It's difficult to clean the wheel, as well, because you can't open it up to scrub it, and there's little airflow in it so it doesn't dry fast.
We eventually nixed the wheel, which was the biggest pain, and opted for a silent wheel, and a little critter-lookout. Now it's not so bad, but I kind of wish I had gotten a cage which didn't limit my redecoration habits thanks to the small petting zone being in the way half the time.
The only downside to getting rid of the wheel was that we couldn't use the slide anymore. It only works with one of the holes, and that same hold is incompatible with any other critter-trail add on. You end up using it for either the water bottle, or plugging it up with the little yellow stopper that comes with the cage. I really liked that slide...and so did my Anya. It's a shame I can't use it anymore."

There are better cages
Date: January 19, 2009
"This cage is a good size, but has a few large flaws. The water bottle drips and my dwarf hamsters can't quite reach it without moving lots of bedding underneath of it. Also the ball on top doesn't have the best design. There are holes in the bottom of the ball where the seems come together. That means that when they go to the bathroom, it goes all over the floor. And my hamsters decided to nest in the ball!!!!!!!
I guess if you change the ball and the waterer its not so bad but it is a shame that you can't be satisfied without buying extras"

Horrible
Date: January 3, 2009
"This is a horrible habitat. Nutty gets in the wheel and puts all his food in there then tries to run. He will then puts his fluff in there and sleeps. It also turned into the bathroom, which drips through the cracks in the wheel and gets everywhere. The upper portion also become a bathroom and stinks.
This is an absolutely horrible cage. I would recommend a wire cage."
