One of the biggest issues in the small pet community is lack of education around healthy and happy enclosures for small pets especially hamsters. Enclosures that don’t provide your hamster with a healthy and happy enclosure leads to multiple health issues and behavioral problems. Niteangel as a brand is really incredible with manufacturing really impeccable products for hamster care. One of the biggest signs that this company really cares about providing hamsters with appropriate happy and healthy enclosures is that they don’t sell unsafe small sized hamster wheels. This enclosure is apart of their expandable and stackable series, which I highly recommend! One thing I would really love to see is these enclosures and all of their product line in every single local pet store in the US. Assembly of this enclosure was really easy to do and they provide one of the best included tool kits that I have ever seen. The material used really adds to the A+ sturdiness & high quality of this enclosure that others don’t provide. The enclosure is on the heavy side for weight due to the heavy duty materials used, but I personally love enclosures that are more heavy because it does lead to better quality in this case. Both of her hamsters love this enclosure! I do recommend though to do a minimum of two of these enclosures connected to together because one enclosure is on the smaller end of the recommended square inches and it is a little hard to setup with everything. Even if you only purchase one of these to start at least it will be significantly better than all of the other enclosures on the market, a single is a really good temporary set-up until finances provide enough to purchase a second one, and the huge bonus factor is when you purchase another enclosure to expand you’re not wasting any money. The hamster community often wastes a lot of finances because they keep upgrading/replacing their enclosures when they realize that their enclosure is not right for their hamster do to size, lack of quality, etc. This enclosure does allow you to expand either from the sides or the back. However, I do wish that there would be an included educational hamster pamphlet provided with the enclosure to provide education to hamster owners for setup. I have unfortunately seen some very concerning hamster set-ups even in this enclosure (example: less than 6 inches of packed hamster safe bedding, unsafe hamster wheels and below the minimum 10 inch, no hides, no enrichment, etc.Now I do want to note why I only gave this enclosure a four star and it is because there could be some improvements. If everyone is always just giving an enclosure a five star when there is room for improvement it doesn’t provide adequate information to the manufacturer to make improvements.1. I would love niteangel to expand on their enclosure size to include a small version and a large. This current model would be really good to be a starting point for their small enclosure, but I would love to see the height of the enclosure increase by a minimum of 10 inches. This would allow for the front panel opening to move higher up to increase the amount of bedding, possibly a larger door, and would allow more space at the top of the enclosure to accommodate larger items. The enclosure set up that I have with the purple hide house has a maze on double stilts for a Syrian hamster to have more bedding, but this led to less space at the top of the enclosure where I can’t put a water bottle along with the water bowl. It would be a super bonus if we can have a minimum of 12-14 inches of space below the front door panel opening for bedding. Along with the height increase I would also recommend increasing the width measurement by a minimum of 6 inches, but 10 inch would be better. The reason being that it is a little tight when trying to configure all of the accessories inside the enclosure this is really noticed when you go with the larger accessories for a Syrian hamster. Since the height and width increase would be a standard increase across to all of the enclosures the only thing that would need to be increased to be considered a large enclosure would be the length. I personally would recommend that the large enclosure length start at 50x60 inches or larger. Due to the incredible feature of expanding this enclosure people will be able to expand their enclosure with either the large or small option easily to the left or right. The only drawback is you won’t be able to expand on the backside of the enclosure unless you get the same size, but this may not be an issue. It may not even be something done often with that 10 inch increase in the width that I recommend, but I would not take this feature away.2. Create a starter accessory kit for Syrian and dwarf hamsters that could be included with the purchase of enclosure for a double discount. A discount just for it being a starter kit and the bonus of a discount if purchased with an enclosure. For the Syrian starter kit I woul...
