Compared to other hamster cages I had before, I find this one to be the best plastic cage on the market. It is not only easy to clean and assemble, but it also looks cool.

When it comes to cool hamster cages, remember that plastic cages are made for smaller hamsters, not larger ones. When you have a smaller hamsters that could possibly get stuck between the bars of larger metal cages, a plastic enclosure is your better choice.

But if your hamster is on the larger size and it would not fit in your joint hands, then you shouldn’t consider any plastic cage for it, but go with a wire cage. Some people recommend to use a glass aquarium for your hamster, but hamsters and other rodents by nature like to tunnel and burrow and hide. So keeping them in a flat aquarium with a house to hide in isn’t right and can stress them out and even shorten their life span.

So if you have a small or dwarf hamster the Habitrail Ovo Suite is a great habitat. You can even add many other cool things like the Ovo Maze, the Ovo Tree House or the Ovo Adventure pack, which will joined together provide plenty of space for your hamster. This cage is around for at least 3 or 4 years now which tells you about its popularity and quality.

What’s great about it is that it mimics a hamster’s natural burrowing enviroment plus gives them plenty of room to move and hide.

The Ovo is (unlike some other plastic hamster cages) very easy to clean and maintain. All the tubing pops out with ease and comes in half, so you can easily clean the inside of the tubes. Its  locking rings are of good quality and hold it together well. The tubes are also compatible with other Habitrail cages or even other brands like Super Pet Crittertrail. So if the cage is a little cramped because of the wheel and food area, or too big for your pet to get onto, you can either leave them out or replace them with tubes that are bigger.

The Habitrail Ovo Suite is reasonably priced at around $50, which is about the same price as any other good plastic hamster cage on the market. However, if you add a lot of extras like tubes, a den, the tree house, a transport carrier or the Ovo maze or the Ovo adventure pack, you can easily spend about 100 dollars in total, but it will pay off as you will have many hours of fun with a happy relaxed hamster that loves its habitat!

If you are looking for an expandable tube system hamster cage, the Habitrail Ovo Suite is a pretty good choice.

The breed of hamster you own and how much you are willing to spend on your hamsters new home is an important fact to consider for your decision which kind of hamster cage to buy.

Larger breeds such as Syrian hamsters have different housing needs than their smaller twins. Because Dwarf and Roborovski hamsters are smaller in size, they don’t do well in conventional wire hamster cages as they can squeeze through the bars and get stuck or escape.

Plastic cages with tubes come in many cool variations and colors. They are perfect to keep your hamster entertained, but can be a little more time consuming to clean than wire hamster cages. They provide infinite fun and entertainment for your pet hamster! Because there are no bars for them to crawl through and escape, plastic tube hamster cages make excellent homes for Dwarf and Roborovski hamsters. Larger Syrian hamsters may not do as well in plastic tube cages as they can get stuck in the tubes. Therefore, for Syrian hamsters, wire hamster cages are ideal as they also allow your pet to climb and stay fit.

Whichever kind of cool hamster cages you select always try to buy the biggest size you can afford! Hamsters are playful animals and need ample space to explore and run around or they might develop chronic health problems. To help prevent boredom and encourage activity you should provide your hamster with exercise wheels and hamster toys and gadgets to keep her busy. Hamsters love exercise wheels and you can even find silent hamster wheels if you are concerned about noise, especially when you share your bedroom with your hamster. Hamster slides and seesaws or hamster hammocks provide an even more interesting environment for your pet. Make sure you include a hamster house in your hamster’s cage to allow her to hide and nest. A bridge or hamster ladder is always appreciated, so try to incorporate that in your hamsters cage too.

Hamsters also love to burrow. Different shaped tubes and hide holes will enrich their housing. Especially plastic hamster cages and hamster cages with many levels allow you to add many different gadgets and tubes your pet hamster will love. You will get endless hours of fun watching your little hamster climb and explore the different tubes and tunnels you create for her!

Always make sure to keep your hamsters cage away from direct sunlight and drafts! Also, hygiene is very important to keep you hamster healthy, so always keep her cage clean. A clean cage can make the difference between a thriving hamster and a sick one, so you really want a cage that is easy to clean and where you can fast reach the food and water bowls.

When you keep these things in mind when choosing an awesome and cool hamster cage, you will enjoy to care for your hamster and have hours of fun with your furry friend!

These days, hamster cages come in so many different options: large and small, wire or plastic, hamster cages with or without tubes, one, two, three or even more level cages – so which type of hamster cage is the best for your furry little friend?

The two most important things to consider when choosing a cage for your hamster are safety and security. Hamsters can be escape artists and love to nibble when they are bored, so no matter whether you go with a wire hamster cage or a cool plastic cage with tubes, you want a robust cage that provides lots of entertainment for your little buddy.

If your hamster is large such as many Syrian hamsters and you like cool plastic tube hamster cages, make sure the tubes are wide enough so you little critter can’t get stuck in the tubes. Wire hamster cages are a good choice for adult Syrian hamsters that are to large to squeeze through the bars, but you need to be extra careful if you own a baby hamster. Make sure it can’t fit through the bars if you go for a wire hamster cage.

Wire cages are the most commonly used sort of cage for housing hamsters. Horizontal bars give your hamster the opportunity to climb and stay fit. If you opt for a wire cage you must make sure to keep it in a draft free area of your house as drafts can kill hamsters.

Plastic hamster cages with tubes from Super Pet Crittertrail or Habitrail come in many cool colors and may be a safer place for your little Dwarf or Roborovski hamster than a wire cage. As Dwarf and Roborovski hamsters can squeeze through even small spaces, always make sure that your cage is safely closed if you own such a hamster.

While plastic hamster cages with tubes are very cool, some can be hard to clean and maintain. It is very important that you keep your hamster cage always clean to avoid that your hamster might get sick! Proper ventilation can also be an issue with some plastic tube hamster cages, so make sure to select a large enough cage with proper ‘air conditioning’.

Plastic cages provide your pet with hours of fun and adventure and can be fully accessorized with more cool tubes, exercise wheels or hamster houses to further enhance your pets quality of life.

Wire or plastic – whichever hamster cage you decide on, always make sure safety is a number one priority.

Hamsters tend to be easily bored and may start gnawing at stuff in their cage or even the cage itself. Luckily there are many toys and accessories like hamster exercise wheels or hamster cage tubes. Your hamster will love to go round and round for hours! This will not only keep your little buddy entertained, but also fit and healthy at the same time.

Keep in mind that hamsters are nocturnal animals. So if you are worried about noise, make sure to select a silent exercise wheel as squeaky wheels can be very annoying, especially at night time.

Don’t put your hamster cage in direct sunlight! And always provide your hamster with a sleeping and housing area. Hamsters like to snuggle and nest when sleeping, so make sure you cage has a hamster house where she can hide and store her food.

When you carefully consider the above when buying a cool hamster cage, you will have a happy and unstressed hamster and many hours of fun watching and playing with your furry friend!
