Little Friends Grosvenor Rat and Hamster Cage with Wooden Shelf and Ladder, Large, 77 x 47 x 36 cm, Silver/ Black

This is a great product. Above all it provides a good amount of space for the hamster, which is a priority. It has a bigger floor area than the vast majority of cages on the market. It is easy enough to assemble for my 12 year old daughter to do it. Cleaning is easy and, although some people have criticised the base as being insufficiently sturdy, it is perfectly strong enough for the job and it is light and easy to clean.I was sceptical about the wooden shelf and whether it would be easy to clean, but so far it has cleaned up really well and is a nice surface for the hamster.The house and wheel provided are too small for a Syrian hamster (note to manufacturer: dont include the house, but provide a good 8inch wheel). We replaced the wheel with a larger one and Fudge, the hamster, happily made his bed under the shelf, saving floor space and need for a house.The roof is hinged, so it is easy to lift your hamster out and put him or her back, but the clever design makes it hard for the hamster to escape even with the lid up.We purchased a couple of tubes and suspended these with plastic ties from the bars (see picture) to add interest to the cage for Fudge, but that's all. I consider this as one of the best hamster cages we have had (and we have had lots of them) and, as you can see, Fudge likes it too!

I looked at soo many cages before I chose this one. I am really happy with it for Egon my Syrian hamster.It is a great size for him, plenty of floor space and general space galore. I was attracted to the fact it was nice and neutral looking and not a garish colour like some. Super easy to put together and once together nice and sturdy.The base has some depth for bedding and enough room for a flying saucer wheel which I really wanted to add (30cm so takes some space up!) I love the wooden shelves, I do have a concern of them over time so I have personally laid some tiles on them in main eating areas etc. He can easily use the ladders and navigate the cage. There is so much room to change and add (his cage will evolve over time for sure)If I wanted to be fussy I could say I'd like larger front access door but it has what it states it has and works for the purpose. It has the top access for cleaning and taking bits of to clean. I did have to bend the latch slightly but such a tiny job, just made it a bit tougher to open as was a bit loose. To clean I just pop whole top off which is easy enough to do.I would give 4.5 stars if I could only as I wasn't impressed by the wheels supplied and house as they were small. The house is perfect for a dwarf hamster but wheels even too small for them in my opinion. I would rather pay slightly less and not have them added :) but I did buy for the cage not the accessories!Delivery was great and product packaged well and complete. Overall super happy and would recommend :)

This is a decent sized cage and my Dwarf Hamster seems to be happy with it.The one issue is that my cage turned up with a broken clip and I can’t seem to contact the seller about a replacement so I’ll have to make do.Putting it together wasn’t too bad, though instructions could have been a little better as some people may struggle.The one thing I’d suggest is checking the plastic corner beams for plastic shavings. Mine had a lot of shavings so make sure to wash and inspect them before putting together to avoid your pet eating any of these.Overall I’d say this is decent value for money and is quite sturdy.

Nice large cage, perfect for one or two rats. I'm using mine for my tame brown male Norway rat. He has been most pleased and happy with his new cage as an upgrade. I'm glad that I could easily pay in installments as my rat Benny wasn't planned, he was humanely trapped as a healthy youngster in our country garden right before my neighbours poisoned the rest. Benny tamed very quickly, I was petting him in 12 hours on the head and after only 3 weeks he loves going in my dressing gown and being let out in the room to play, so I figured that it wasn't a good idea to release him all alone back into the wild where he could also bother someone else. I have had many domestic rats before and thought that I wasn't having anymore, but... I ended up with a tame wild rat on my desk who's surprisingly even better behaved than some of the domestic ones and clean from diseases because he came from a clean environment to begin with. Apparently the wild ones are pretty much the same as the domestic rats; only a bit more skittish and they also avoid biting. But Benny has proven himself to be very intelligent, clean, empathetic and trainable and I am very pleased with him and his big cage which was a huge upgrade from his former temporary hamster cage that was too small. Thank you very much!

The cage looks lovely in photos but is a nightmare to assemble. The instructions are very little help at all. Not only is it awkward to fit the pieces together, it all feels very flimsy. I had to return it as one of the bars had come unattached in two places, leaving a sharp piece of metal exposed and three of the plastic clips holding the roof of the cage on had snapped off, meaning the roof wasn't secure.Broken elements aside, the design isn't great. There's only two clips holding the cage to the tray which feels very flimsy and if you're not careful when lining it all up, there's a gap a small rodent could easily squeeze through. The doors are very easy to push open also, meaning any pet in the cage could easily open them and escape. The wooden platforms don't feel secure when fitted (and there's no instruction on how to fit them) and finally, the cage has no handles so moving it/lifting it to clean is a nightmare. Don't waste your money.

Cage has a very attractive appearance and so far has been really enjoyed by my hamster who kept chewing through her bin cage!

Cage parfait pour mon rat

Reçu mon article,tant attendue!Fond de cage cassée..Trop déçu. ☹

Es espectacular, grande y firme una vez que la montas. Me a encantado!

Le giunture non combaciano bene, ho dovuto fissarla con le fascette. Le rampe si staccano in continuazione.
