FAQs
What are the external dimensions of the cage?
The external dimensions are approximately 55cm (length) x 39cm (width) x 27cm (height).
Is this cage suitable for a Syrian hamster?
While it can house a Syrian hamster, it is quite compact. It may be more suitable for dwarf hamsters or as a temporary home for a young Syrian. A larger cage is generally recommended for adult Syrian hamsters to allow for adequate space and enrichment.
How easy is it to attach accessories?
Accessories typically hook onto the bars or are placed within the cage. Ensure they are securely positioned to prevent them from falling.
Can I connect additional modules to this cage?
This specific model is not designed for modular expansion with other Ferplast systems.
What material is the cage made from?
The cage is primarily made of clear plastic for the base and main body, with a plastic or metal grille for the top ventilation.
Does the cage come assembled?
The cage typically comes flat-packed and requires simple assembly, usually involving attaching the base to the top section with the clips.
How do I clean the water bottle and food bowl?
Both can be washed with warm water and mild soap. For the water bottle, use a bottle brush to clean the inside thoroughly.
Troubleshooting
Cage clips are difficult to fasten
Ensure the top grille and base are aligned correctly. Apply gentle, even pressure to secure the clips.
Water bottle is leaking or not dispensing
Check the seal on the nozzle. Ensure the water level is sufficient. Try gently tapping the nozzle to encourage flow.
Hamster seems bored or inactive
Provide additional safe chew toys, tunnels, or a larger sand bath. Consider upgrading to a larger cage if space allows.
Bedding material is falling through the grille
Ensure the bedding depth is appropriate and not excessively disturbed. If the issue persists, consider adding a solid platform or a bedding barrier.
