Full details
The PawHut Hamster Cage is an ideal starter home for hamster owners looking to provide their small pets with an engaging, multi-level environment. Designed to balance security with activity, the cage includes integrated features like a tunnel system and exercise wheel to keep hamsters physically and mentally stimulated. While its compact size and comprehensive kit make it perfect for smaller breeds, the cage is best suited for dwarf hamsters or individual pets rather than larger rodents due to the overall footprint.

FAQs
Is this cage suitable for Syrian hamsters?
This cage is better suited for smaller hamster breeds. Larger Syrian hamsters may find the tubes and overall space restrictive.
How do I clean the plastic tunnel sections?
The tunnels can be disassembled and washed in warm, soapy water. Ensure they are completely dry before reassembling them.
Can I add more tunnels to this cage?
Yes, the ports are generally compatible with standard small animal tube systems, allowing you to expand the play area.
Does the cage come fully assembled?
No, it arrives flat-packed and requires basic assembly of the cage frame and tunnel components.
Is the material safe if my hamster chews it?
The cage is made of pet-safe plastic and metal, but it is always recommended to provide wooden chew toys to redirect chewing behavior away from the cage structure.
Troubleshooting
The exercise wheel is making a squeaking sound.
Check that the wheel is properly aligned on its mount and apply a tiny amount of vegetable oil to the center axle if the friction persists.
Tunnel sections are difficult to connect.
Ensure that the locking tabs on the tubes are aligned correctly and verify that there is no plastic burr or debris blocking the connection point.
The bottom tray is hard to slide out.
Clear any loose bedding or waste from the tracks along the bottom edges of the wire frame that might be obstructing the tray's movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your cage, begin by securing the base tray to the wire frame, ensuring all clips are snapped firmly into place. Assemble the tunnel sections by clicking them together according to the included diagram, then snap them into the side ports of the cage. Ensure the water bottle is filled and tested for a proper drip-flow before mounting. For maintenance, remove the bottom tray at least once a week to discard soiled bedding and wipe the surfaces with a pet-safe disinfectant. Avoid using harsh household chemicals on the plastic tubes or wheel, as these can be toxic to small animals. The cage is specifically designed for small breeds like hamsters and mice; it is not recommended for rabbits, guinea pigs, or larger pets.
