There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The biggest compliment I have is for the seller which, while it says Amazon on this review page, they actually did the packaging and shipping. When I ordered it, the description stated it was sold by Monster Pets. Anyway, the ramps I received were either defective OR previously VERY used as the plastic at the clamps had been bent back/forth so many times, the color was almost white at those bend points vs the pink and green of the rest of the ramp. I contacted Monster Pets and they immediately offered to send replacements. Not only did they do that, they included some extra parts for me (like an extra water bottle, extra shelves) which, in my opinion goes WAY beyond excellent customer service! Also, the rep that I ended up working w/ via email was extremely responsive and friendly. All in all- I am very pleased w/ the product and the company selling it!
I liked this cage overall.
Pros:
1) it is super easy to assemble. Takes 5 minutes. Arrived in a perfect condition.
2) it is easily attached to a regular 10 gallon aquarium from Wal-Mart. It has springs to make connection tight. Fits perfectly.
3) It is easy to detach and put back as needed. Nothing falls off. Everything sits tight.
It is a cheap cost-effective solution.
4) it allows the hamster to travel up and down and separate the food, hay, toys, etc. from the wheel and hiding residence. My hamster understood how to travel right away.
5) it allows you to keep most of the bedding, hay and food inside, much less cleaning around!!!!
6) it is easy to clean inside.
7) great solutions for those who have a limited space available for a pet corner (like myself)
8) it allows you to put more bedding than a standard cage.
Cons:
1) I didn't like the included bottle, but I never intended to use it. So still 5 stars. I am a strong advocate for glass bottles anyway.
2) No extension. why not to add a hole to attach extensions??? Come on, manufacturer! learn from yourself, how to make more sales.
3) I'd buy a higher one with more shelves, I am not sure if there are any.
4) It would be great if there would be same extenders for 20 gallon tanks.

Number one, the bars are kind of weak. I think if a hamster was really determined they could either chew through them or slip through them. I would absolutely not house a roborovski in this tank/topper combo because they could absolutely slip their tiny bodies through the bars since the bars move so easily. That being said, I have two sister Campbell dwarfs that love in this setup and they are both way too big to even stick their noses all the way out. I'm not worried about them escaping at all. Now if you have an escape artist for a pet, the bars are too flimsy and the top opening is too easily removed to house them safely.
Number two, cleaning is kind of difficult. Not the topper itself persay, but the cleaning process with the topper. To get the wheel, houses, or bottom level food bowl out, I have to take the whole topper off and set it down somewhere in order to be able to do anything with the bottom portion. I've gotten used to it, since they like to pee all over their wheel and I have to clean it every other day, but I always end up getting bedding and poops all over the place from setting the topper down. It's super unconvienient because now I have to put a towel down, take the topper off and clean the towel any time I need to get to the bottom tank portion of the cage even if it's just to fill a food bowl.
Number three, and probably most upsetting, the water bottle doesn't work at all. I had the bottle that came with the topper set up down in the tank. My hamsters used it frequently until I noticed that they were trying way harder than they should have needed to. They were biting it and yanking on it and even hitting it with their paws and nothing was coming out. They had had it for several days and even though I had seen them drinking out of it, the water level was the same, meaning they weren't getting any water from it. I went that day and got them a new water bottle and set that up in there and they were franticly drinking from it as if they had never had any water before. I felt so bad and felt as if I had failed them so I stopped using the topper one immediately and just used the one I got from Walmart and now they are properly hydrated. Endangering my hamsters life like that I should give this product 0 stars, but the topper itself is a good product and my hamsters really enjoy it now that they're not being deprived of water, which is why I'm able to give this product between 3 and 4 stars. I'll be contacting th company and asking for a replacement bottle.
My favorite feature is that the bowl of food kind of locks into the top ramp, so they can't fill it with bedding and all sorts of yuck.
It took awhile to get here, but I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has small critters that need some more space. I will try to post a video here soon, but I see that another user already did that (which is what made me buy this).
Conclusion: FOR THE $25 dollars, this is a whole lot of stuff, and effectively doubles the size of your 10 gallon tank, easy setup, i just looked at the box and snapped everything together.
