Review by W. Dickens for Super Pet Critter Trail Double Decker Habitat

The first time the cage was shipped, all of the plastic pieces were cracked or completley broken apart. The replacement that was shipped to us arrived intact.
By itself, the cage is fairly small. We just got a long-haired hamster and so far she is pretty happy. We added a house for her to sleep in. We took out the wheel that was included because it takes up so much room in the small space. We added an external wheel on the top level, and that has worked out really well. The food dish is small, and once you add bedding, the small post that is supposed to hold the dish in place is buried. She keeps tipping the bowl over, so we’ll have to get something that is heavier. We are going to add some tubes and accessories, and maybe even attach another cage that is similar in size so she has plenty of room to move around.
I had several hamsters as a kid, and this cage seems so much smaller that what I had. I used to have a plastic cage over a 10 gallon aquarium, with a tube leading down. It was very spacious, but even the plastic cage on its own was bigger than anything I have found today.

i have a teddy bear hamster which is fully grown. she seems to like to it but the wheel is very small and uncomfortable to run in. i just bought a portable wheel to replace the wheel it came with. it is a little bit stuffy and small and being that there is a second floor it lets in very little sunlight. she spends most of her time in the upstairs or in her wheel

This cage is very good! except for the wheel that it comes with, it makes a lot of noise and it’s not big enough for regular sized hamsters (ex. teddy bear hamsters), and also it doesn’t have a cup where the droppings go, so it flies out, i recommend a silent wheel. Besides that the cage is perfect; Cookie, my teddy bear hamster, loves his home and it’s great to connect with a lot of tubes and connect with more cages. I don’t recommend the cage for robo hamsters, I have 2 so I know. Also the water bottle that it comes with leaks A LOT, so get a different one. Great cage, bad accessories

Firstly, my two new baby mice just love this habitat. In fact, they are thrilled. They are used to a tiny starter cage, and this habitat has expanded their universe. They no longer want to use their ground floor igloo, preferring instead to now sleep in the top carrier where I put in some bedding.
The plastic is very fragile, so, especially with latches, handle gently. One of my initial problems was how to open it. I jiggled the front latch every which way and it wouldn’t budge. This was particularly frustrating, as I could see the printed directions, including how to open the habitat, inside it. Didn’t do me much good there!
For those with this problem, the directions are thus:
“Place your thumb flat on the plastic threads (raised plastic). Curl your index finger below the plastic latch. Push your thumb inward and lift the plastic latch upward simultaneously.” I might add: Do it gently! Don’t force.
After a few times of trying this, the latch gets easier to open.
WARNING: Regarding the wheel (which my mice love): If there is a cat in your home, beware. As another reviewer has reported, he gave a hamster to his sister who loved it. But she had a cat that knocked the wheel (it’s an outside one) off the habitat. The cat caught the hamster, killed it and his sister was devastated.
AND IT HAPPENED TO ME. I heard a strange noise in the next room where the mice are, went to investigate, and my cat had knocked the wheel off the habitat, with one of the mice in it. The only thing that saved the mouse was that it fell with the opening facing downward on the table. Had the mouse gotten out of the wheel through that opening, I don’t know if I would have been in time to save it. It still makes me nervous, but I have investigated other cage alternatives for mice, and have not found anything suitable.
MY SOLUTION was (hopefully) to secure the tube joining the wheel to the cage, on the upper portion, with a wide strip of shipping Scotch tape. It’s better than nothing, and the wheel does seem to be somewhat more secure. It’s better, of course, not to let a curious cat in the rodents’ room (some cats won’t bother them, and some cats will), but cats are willful and sneaky (clever I might add), and it is not always easy to control them. As Mark Twain said: “Cats were invented by God to let people know they are not in control.”
SECOND WARNING: I walked into the room the mice are in after having been out for a while. Lo and behold! the water bottle had fallen off the cage, and a hole was exposed which the mice could easily have gotten through, to be caught by cats. Luckily for me, and for them, they did not exit the cage. So ALSO TAPE DOWN THE WATER BOTTLE SECURELY. I wrapped some wide packing Scotch tape around it, securing it to the bars.
THIRD WARNING: (And I wonder why such warnings are not released by the manufacturer, since there must be many unreported deaths of rodents because they are not.) Mice have very poor eyesight. They need to be kept in dim quarters to protect their eyes, which can be damaged by too much light. DO NOT BUY THE CLEAR, BUT IDENTICAL, CAGE as it does not protect their eyes as much as the colored-tinted cage.
FOURTH WARNING: If you add a vertical attachment, such as Super Pet CritterTrail Activity Accessory Kit, the mice love it (also tape it down, as it is loose); however, because the loop the loop at the top is colored purple, a dark color, if too much sun gets into the room during daytime, the rodents will sleep in it because it blocks out more sun. Since the cage has a nesting area at the top, this is not very desirable. So supply a good amount of commercial, but natural, nesting material in the nesting area, and watch the mice’s reaction to daylight. If they continue sleeping in the loop the loop, then the room needs to be kept dimmer.
Lots of complications, but the mice sure love it. BUT BE CAREFUL FOR THEIR LIVES.
This habitat is a good buy if one heeds the warnings.
POSTSCRIPT: I finally gave up on this cage and ordered another one where the wheel and the water bottle are on the inside. To keep them from falling off and critters escaping, you have to tape them securely. Then I got the long vertical tube with a circular runaround piece at the top, but that too kept falling over, and also had to be taped. Then when you go to clean it, you have to take all that tape off. Too much of a drag. Best to choose one where ALL is inside, therefore, no tape necessary, and it should be much safer.

This cage is easy to assemble and easy to clean. I gave it only 4 stars because the front door latch, which is plastic, does not close tight enough. It is very easy to open and and I am afraid that the hamster can push the door open and get out. We are using a piece of tape to make sure that the door is secure. Also the front door does not stay open when you try to get the hamster out. Our hamster is still a baby and trying to get him out and holding the door is a bit difficult.

I found that when you are disassembling the cage for cleaning, the plastic tabs easily break. We have had the cage for 6 months and 3 different areas have already broken. I would recommend going with a cage made of more indestructible material.

I also got the “CritterTrail 2 Story Cage” and it was a pain to build. But this one was super easy to build. Plus this one is much better for looking at your pets. It’s a good size and my mice love to run up the tubes. The wheel is quiet and easy to clean. Best cage I’ve ever gotten!
The wheel and water bottle can be placed in three different places, so it’s adaptable. The top is sturdy and makes it easy to carry the entire thing around.
I love this cage, it’s great for small animals (in my experience it’s best for mice). It’s easy to put together, safe, sturdy, and quiet.
Edit: After many months of owning this cage, I’ve started to have some minor problems. The water bottle has repeatedly fallen so I’ve removed it, added it a different water bottle (one that latches onto the bars) and added an extra CritterTrail Wheel. The wheel has started to get clogged and impossible to clean so I’ve replaced it with another CritterTrail Wheel. Buyer be warned; durability does not last!
I had tried using tubing to combine two cages but my cat can just stand on the tubes, breaking it, and put his paw inside either cage. So I’m back to using one cage.
