Full details
The PawHut Hamster Cage is an ideal starter home for dwarf hamsters and gerbils, offering a multi-level environment that prioritizes pet activity and security. Its compact design features three levels of play space, including tunnels and ramps, providing a stimulating habitat that keeps small animals entertained. While the cage offers excellent ventilation through its metal mesh construction, owners should note that the 41cm height makes it most suitable for smaller species like dwarf hamsters rather than larger Syrian breeds that require more floor space.

FAQs
Is this cage suitable for a Syrian hamster?
This cage is primarily designed for smaller breeds like dwarf hamsters and gerbils; larger breeds like Syrians typically require more floor space.
How often should I clean the cage?
A spot clean is recommended daily, with a thorough full-cage cleaning every 1-2 weeks depending on the odor and waste buildup.
Are the tunnels chew-proof?
The tunnels are designed for small rodents, but all plastic components can eventually show signs of wear if your pet is an aggressive chewer.
Can I add more levels?
The cage comes with a fixed three-level setup, and adding extra levels is not recommended as it may impede ventilation and movement.
What is the best type of bedding for this cage?
Paper-based or wood-shaving bedding that is dust-free is best for the deep base to encourage burrowing.
Troubleshooting
Pet is escaping or getting stuck
Verify that the wire spacing is appropriate for your specific pet and check that all cage clips are properly fastened.
Ramps becoming slippery
Check if bedding has accumulated on the ramps and clear it away; if necessary, add a rougher texture to the ramp surface to improve grip.
Difficulty cleaning corners
Use a small, soft-bristled brush to reach into the crevices where the wire mesh meets the plastic base.

Maintenance Tips:
