I have looked at almost all the hamster habitats available in Amazon before I really fell in love with this cute, simplistic one. As an adult who owns dwarf hamsters, most designs are way too vibrant in colors and seemed very childish. But this was perfect.
I was concerned at first that this would be too small for the 4 baby hamsters Im taking in from my friend, but this came WAY bigger than expected. There was a whole living and play space behind the wheels, which I didn't notice when purchasing and thought there wasn't enough room infront of the wheels for the hamsters to move around. Really turned out even better than expected.
I liked it at first because I saw how people can attach new habitats to it easily and thought if there isn't enough space, I can always get extensions. It was slightly hard to put together. I misunderstood the instructions a few times and thought I lost a (non-existent) part of the water dispenser. But for how many small part there was for this, it made it full of potential. If I didn't like the top part, I don't have to put it on. I can switch things around. I can take off the wheels for more space to put accessories. It was fun for me just to come up with all these ways to mix things around.
My hamsters LOVED this cage. They loved sleeping in the tubings, in the water area, in the food. It was slightly hard for the babies to get up the tubes but they slowly learnt to. The depth of this cage allows me to put lots of beddings and they like to burrow in it.
The only thing was that it was slightly vulnerable to free falling. My cat toppled it when it tried to get up my bookshelf and it fell into pieces. thankfully they are all safe because the water area did not break apart and they are ALL sleeping in it. The cat couldn't get to them at all (the fall scared it away anyways), but it resulted a crack on the food dispenser. It was not too noticeable though.
Would definitely look into getting extensions for them once I find a better place to put them.
P.S. cleaning of the tubes are not too bad. they cant get the vertical ones dirty, and the short ones are short enough to be wiped off from both ends. The joints DOES store dirt and you would need to take them apart from time to time to wipe it off. But it was generally easy since you can make use of the two levels.

"Adventure Pack" - bought 1, then another, will buy s'more
Disclosure: bought for substantially less as an Amazon Warehouse item.I didn't want to pay full-price for this. When I saw one come up for less due to a damaged box item, I took the plunge. There are two "outhouse" globes - both larger than I thought. This also comes with a nifty 5-way cube connector, one T-joint, two elbows, and two larger straight T-joints. I've found it a challenge to find a use for the large T's, but the other ones get used sometimes.The mice seem to avoid the larger globe, but 3 of them sometimes crammed into the smaller one to sleep. Another cosmetically damaged one came up and I bought it - it was cracked at the joint, but once assembled, fully functional. What I found is that one of my pregnant Mom's preferred to turn this into her nest - and dragged bedding from all over to completely fill the globe. She birthed the babies in a "Habitrail OVO Maze". When she found this smaller globe, she moved bedding from all over the cage overnight and culled her litter down to 2 - and moved the 2 to the globe. I can see then kicking around while I took the pictures for this review.I tried 7 different outhouses for my mice. I am keeping all of them and leaving reviews for each one. Four are from Habitrail , 2 are from Crittertrail, and 1 is from Tiny Tales (The Tiny Tales one isn't on Amazon, but only at PetSmart - short story on that one is it's spacious, but has the opening at the bottom).The good thing about both globes that came with the Adventure pack is that the entrance is higher than the floor - rather than coming right through the bottom of the floor. The mother mouse probably realized her babies could easily fall down the hole in the Maze and moved them once she was aware of the globe. The other outhouse I have with a side entrance is the "Kaytee CritterTrail Fun-nel Small Animal Outhouse" and another mother chose that as her nest - although she birthed them in there and didn't cover the entire structure with bedding. Although the Habitrail globe has air holes, I see condensation on the inside. The Kaytee one has no air holes, but so far, I see no fogging up inside that one.Since the floor is below the horizontal entrance way - making the bedding inside naturally stay inside unless the critters purposefully try to dig it out Some of the other outhouses have the entrance from the bottom - which makes the others naturally have the bedding fall through the entrance. The other ones could also have babies wander and fall down the tube - probably why one mother chose to move hers after culling to this one and the other chose the Kaytee.The big globe seems to be too large for the mice's comfort. I have found that mice prefer cramped spaces when given the choice between a large spacious >1000 sq in cage, >500 sq in cage, or even the >150 sq in ones by Habitrail or Kaytee and the like. When they get into the big spaces, they get disoriented and uncomfortable and zip around from side to side and quickly exit. My mice have access to very large spaces in multiple cages, and prefer to spend most of their time - and birth in cramped spaces like the smaller globe.Some of them even prefer the 5 way connecting cube that came with this kit - sometimes I'll see two of them cramped in the cube and sleeping - there is one male mouse that prefers to spend most of his time awake in the 5 way cube - he will traverse long distances to the food accessible through the large open area cage - and bring back one or two pieces of food to the small cramped cube - then eat it - then repeat.The Habitrail connecting rings are very secure - but also very tricky to secure and use correctly. If the rings included are not secured or used correctly, the structure falls apart with the slightest lateral movement. I still haven't been able to master the use of the Habitrail connecting rings - some of them don't seem to engage at all - are they will grip one tube, but not the other. I prefer the Kaytee or Tiny Tales connecting rings - they are more difficult to affix and detach than the Habitrail, but they are also more secure and there is no question if it's connected correctly.If another one goes up on Amazon Warehouse, I'm getting it.

Is Amazing. Loved the design and potential. Bigger than expected. Good for 4 dwarf hamsters. Just don't drop it.

Style: StudioVerified Purchase
This is an amazing hamster habitat! We researched many different types of habitats and read dozens and dozens of reviews, good and bad, on this product. In the end, we settled on the COMPLETE Habitrail Ovo system, starting with the Studio and the Loft, and then added 3 Towers, the Adventure Pack, the Trainer and multiple extra components, including curves, tubes, elbows, cubes, tees and dens. Why so much? Hamsters live in underground burrows (not open, empty spaces like glass tanks and wire cages) with lots of little tunnels leading to small dens and storage rooms. At night, they come out and run up to 8 miles in search of seeds, nuts and goodies they can stuff in their cheeks and run home to hoard. This habitat allows you to recreate their natural habitat in your home.
Some reviews indicated the following problems: leaky water bottles, connectors that don't lock, tubes that fall apart. In response:
1) The water bottle is brilliant! If filled to the top, flipped over into the holder and tapped lightly a couple of times(at which point a few drops fall out), a vacuum forms and the gravity-fed design works great. By mounting the water bottles at dead-end points on the outside of the design, you can easily wipe away the drips from setting it and not have any more problems.
2) The connectors can be a little tricky to master, but work very simply. We sat down at the table with some pieces and connectors and gently figured out the trick in about 5 minutes. Once you've got it down, they work remarkably well. And they make it super easy to clean the cage. If your hammy is typical, he'll pick one place to relieve himself; just loosen the connectors, remove the soiled area, cap the open ends temporarily, wash the section, dry, reassemble and pop back in. Takes about 5 minutes a day. You can wash sections as needed.
3) The tubes fit nicely - if you take your time and make sure the small plastic edges are lined up properly. Most of the shaped pieces fit smoothly, but it's a little bit trickier on the u-turns. If you balance your design, it also fits together better. Too much weight on one side can pull the tubes and loosen the connectors.
Overall, you just have to take your time and learn how the pieces fit together. Be prepared to spend an afternoon setting up and designing your habitat, preferably before you pick up your pet at the store. We spent about 3 hours building the whole thing; we connected all the pieces together on 3-shelf unit and wound the tubes around the legs. We went to the pet store with the Transport Unit, filled with bedding and treats. He was quite happy for the ride home, then spent the entire evening exploring his new burrow. He's created a nest of bedding inside one of the dens, and a food hoard in another nearby. He runs up and down the tubes and runs miles in his Trainer every night. He loves it and we love watching him through the clear tubes!
The ONLY drawback to this habitat is the cost. If you want to see your hammy display natural behaviors and have an enriching environment, it takes more than just one piece like the Studio OR the Loft. An investment into several expansion pieces is necessary for the best habitat. Well worth the money, though, for the best interactive experience. And you can redesign periodically to stimulate your hammy.
We love it and wouldn't choose anything else.
