FAQS

Yes, we have designed the hamster cage with features that makes both daily spot cleaning and deep cleans a breeze. The large door gives good access when you need to remove soiled bedding or remove accessories for cleaning.

For bigger cleans, the mesh top and the bedding fender can easily be removed and wiped down, and the tray has smooth surfaces and curved edges that means no dirt can get stuck in nooks or corners of the cage.

Do a round of spot cleaning daily. This is where you pick up soiled bedding or other visible dirt without removing too much bedding.

Clean the accessories (the wheel, the bowl and any tunnels etc.) once a week with a wet cloth and pet safe disinfectant.

Then do a full deep clean once a month, where you wipe down the whole cage and replace the bedding.

The cage has been designed for hamsters and gerbils, and we don’t recommend keeping other animals in the cage, such as mice, rats or chinchillas.

Hamsters should live by themselves. The cage is designed for one hamster or can be used as a home for a pair of gerbils.

Every cage comes with a food bowl, a water bottle, a wheel, two compostable hides and a set of stickers.

The cage comes with everything essential your pets will need: a large wheel, two compostable hides, a food bowl and a water bottle. It’s then up to you if you want to add extra enhancement.

A sand bath is great entertainment for your pets, and will help them stay clean. If your pet seems to like climbing or having a higher vantage point, the ramps and platforms will add an extra level to their home.

For outside the cage exercise and play, it’s important to have a safe space where your pets can run around; our foldable hamster playpen is great for this.

You need 70-80L of bedding to fill the tray.

The height of the bedding depends on the size of your pet and how many accessories you have in the cage, but don’t fill it over half the height of the bedding fender, as your pet will then be able to kick the bedding out and potentially climb up on the mesh.

Hamsters and gerbils make great pets for children. They are small and sweet and form close relationships with their owners. They are relatively low maintenance, and all of the daily and weekly routines are easy to do for both adults and children.

Young children should however never be the sole carer of a pet, it’s too much of a responsibility to make sure all their needs are met and that they are happy and healthy.

For more information on caring for hamsters, please visit our guide pages.

In themselves, these small pets are very quiet, and won’t keep you up at night. Although you might notice some rustling while they burrow in the bedding, all the features of the cage have been designed to minimise noise to the point where it can easily be kept in a bedroom.

The main feature is the wheel. Forget the screeching, rattling wheels that many people associate with cages for small animals. This wheel is specially designed to run smoothly without any noise, so your pets can exercise throughout the night without waking you up.

Our Hamster Cage is made with strong, non-toxic materials and considered design features to keep your pets safe and secure.

The plastic bedding fender above the base prevents climbing, and the tight, strong mesh stops both break ins and breakouts.

Internal cage length: 2ft 9in
Internal cage width: 1ft 10in
Bedding tray minimum burrow depth: 6in
Continuous floor area: 724 sq. in

Yes, all our products come with easy to follow instructions, and you can build along to our How to build videos. The cage will take roughly 40 minutes to assemble if you’re by yourself, slightly less if you have a helping hand.

The optional storage basket is made from rPET felt and we recommended that you vacuum and wipe it with a damp cloth if needed.

A wonderful addition to my home!
Vicky, Hertfordshire,
The hamster in the omlet habitat has been a wonderful addition to our home, making our living room the favourite room to be in for the children. The large habitat size has been like a dream mansion for Hammy as we watching him have zoomies round the tunnels 80% of the time when he’s not sleeping! Colour is stylish and I love the cage being raised with storage so we can keep everything together neatly and easy to clean! A wonderful addition to my home!

Another great Omlet product!
Jeremy, Florida,
Omlet’s all-new Hamster Habitat is full of great features, with a safe, durable design that is perfect for our home. The Hamster Habitat is spacious, with so much room for tunneling and burrowing. Our pet hamster, Jimmy, loves all the room that he has to explore. The enclosure kit comes with everything you need to get started, with lots of accessories available to customize your enclosure. The optional playpen provides fun, one-on-one interaction. We’ve been very happy with how easy it is to maintain and clean the Hamster Habitat. We’ve had zero spilled bedding so far. Another great Omlet product!

The Hamster Habitat and Play Pen
Alice,
We have 3 gerbils and they are loving their new cage! They have moved from a smaller cage and have been really enjoying the amount of space for digging, running and sleeping. The platforms are a great use of space and they love the play pen! The lift off lid is an amazing way to play with them without taking them out. Overall I think this is an amazing cage and I really recommend it.
