Height: 37cm
Width: 100cm

Floorspace: 5,100 sqcm / 790sqin
Bar spacing: ~1.5 inch
Despite being marketed as a guinea pig cage, it isn't a suitable enclosure for them, however it is perfect for a dwarf hamster. I personally use it for roborovski hamsters as there isn't a way to easily escape this tank style cage when the lid has been meshed. It comes with a poorly designed hay rack, bottle holder and trough like bowl which are useless so I threw them away. I purchased the zoozone 2 from Jolleyes 2-3 years ago when it was £55, it is still available there and is now £79.99. I have seen quite a few being sold second hand for about £30.
Pros:
- Offers a lot of space for everything your hamster needs
- Pretty escape proof in regards to tiny robos.
- Can fit a 12 inch wheel although it is a bit snug.
- Can easily hold 8 inches of bedding.
- Nice large door which makes cleaning and interacting with your hamster easy.
Cons:
- Requires some DIY meshing the lid which can become difficult to open/close when done.
- As it is a tank style cage, it can trap heat so you need to be mindful where you place it eg not in direct sunlight. You also need to be wary that it doesn't trap heat on hot days.
- Ventilation isn't as good as a barred cage.
- Not suitable for a hamster that likes to chew as there are indents for the hay rack to sit in that a hamster could easily get their teeth into like my Mania did (see below). However, this can easily be fixed by filling them in with resin.
