Verified Reviews for Qute Hamster & Gerbil Cage

I bought this but unfortunately wasn't big enough for two gerbils they also couldn't get up the tube so had to move them to a more traditional cage, looks great just not so practical

Was really looking forward to setting up the new cage for our children's Christmas present. Item arrived on Christmas eve which was amazing and my partner had gone out to get the gerbils that afternoon. I was left at home making up the cage (Trying to hide this from the kids was hard work) however much to my disappointment we were sent two incorrect sides for the cage so I could not put this together. This caused us a massive headache as we had to phone around a few friends and neighbours to see if anyone had a spare empty fish tank or cage that we could borrow until we could contact customer service (Christmas Eve so not much chance of that until several days later). When customer services came back to us a few days later they advised that replacements sides had been dispatched to us. The cage itself is great now that it is built so can't fault the quality, however we are now finding that the only issue is the gerbils are not interested in climbing the tube to the top part of the cage, we have spent hours trying to get them interested but to no avail. it looks as if we will have to find some other way of giving them access to the upper part of the cage.... lets see what happens. * I would love to see an option where you could opt for a ramp over a tube (I know the tube is a selling feature to)

I bought this for Christmas, unfortunately the tube is not a standard size and is to large for the hamster to get up and down so he gets stuck in the bottom a lot and another unfortunate the water bottle only goes on top. So the cage is actually way to small for the hamster.

Nice cage, useful storage drawer, fun vertical tube for getting from one floor to the other, but our new male Syrian Hamster seemed rather cooped up in it and looked like he just needed more space. We now have bought another larger cage for his night time escapades.

I love this cage, as yet un- tenanted, it looks like it’s going to be a great little gerbil home! My only gripe is the assembly, 47 steps and a million bits and pieces, I almost gave up and in fact did give up on the door to the storage compartment, we just couldn’t get it to stay in without the rest going awful! The wooden peg joins are a nightmare, 3 of mine snapped!!! I got there eventually but not for the faint hearted!!

I just recieved this yesterday I got the one with out storage. I give it 3 stars 1 because as I was put it together some of the wood split and I was going so gentle with the screws and 2 it is smaller than expected. I got my new Syrian Hamster a week ago. The reason I chose this cage from the one he is in at the moment is because, he is such a nervous little boy that I thought he would feel so much more comfortable with the lower section where he can burrow and hide. The cage he is in now is just a basic cage. I will try him in his Omlet one and see how he goes. I just worry it is going to be to small for him.

The gerbils seem to enjoy their new enclosure. They burrow on the bottom nd come up top for wheel and food. Seems like they do all their poop up top as well. We were slightly disappointed as we thought the enclosure would be a bit bigger. It works well like a piece of furniture. Directions were slightly confusing 3/4 of the way through for wire placement.

It’s a lovely looking cage, but I feel really guilty for my two gerbils stuck in her. Which means, we have to ensure we give them 20-30 minutes each day in their ‘Playpen’ to ensure they get plenty of room to stretch and run around properly.

I was very happy to find a cage for my kid's gerbils that checked all of the boxes. I wanted it to be safe and functional for the pets, I wanted my kids to be able to help take care of the cage, and i wanted it to look more like a piece of furniture than a standard aquarium. about 2 weeks in and I am certain that two of these criteria have been met while the 3rd was sorely missed. The bottom plastic habitat should not be made of 5 separate pieces of plastic. In 3 days time the gerbils manage to get paper and wood shavings into every single crack and crevice, so much so that it falls onto the floor every time you go to take it out of the cabinet. That means that cleaning the thing requires the entire plastic bin be completely taken apart to clean. After reading the reviews and considering my options I am disappointed in what I received given what I paid.

Being a first time hamster keeper, I was so excited to get this cage and my hamster. The cage is really pretty and really well made. After i purchased my dwarf hamster and put him in the cage however, I realized that the tube was way too big for my dwarf hamster. I messaged customer services and they said he would eventually learn how to use it but it took him a really long time. I was so worried at one point that i started making a cardboard ramp to replace the tube. When he eventually did learn, he can go up the tube fine, but every time he tries to go down, he falls down with a thud. It worries me that eventually he will get hurt that way. He definitely won't be able to use it when he gets old. I really wish there's a smaller tube that can fit inside the large tube to make it easier for my dwarf. It would be nice if they had a warning that the tube is not suitable for dwarf hamsters, or offer a smaller tube option.
