Critter Universe Review

   This is our 100% honest review. We purchased the Critter Universe cage at Petco. In this particular set, CareFRESH supplied the enclosed items:
  
   • CareFRESH® Complete Hamster/Gerbil food
   • CareFRESH® Pet Bedding (colors may vary)
   • Assorted Chew Treats

   The Critter Universe comes with the following items:
  
   • 2-level home
   • Food dish
   • Water bottle
   • Elbow tube
   • Exercise wheel
  Cage measures: 16"W x 9.5"D x 18.5"H


REVIEW

   This cage was very simple to assemble. The only difficult thing about this cage was assembling the wires together, but once they are assembled, you don't have to take it apart for cleaning. Also, leave the yellow tabs attached to the wire when you clean out the cage. The door lock looks like the hamster/gerbil can escape from the cage, but it's escape-proof and there is a latch that secures the door. The wheel is silent but, it may be too small for a full grown Syrian hamster. The plastic base is very flexible/unbreakable; this is a good feature because it will resist cracking and chipping.
   The water bottle is similar to the one that comes in the CritterTrail® cages. We do not use this water bottle because it leaks. We prefer that you buy one that attaches to the outside of the cage.
   It is the perfect size for a dwarf hamster. If you have a Syrian hamster you may want to purchase an additional level. (Amazon.com sells an additional level on their website.) The additional level comes with:
 • Floor
 • Wire
 • Tube
 • Another water bottle
 • Food bowl
 • Clips
   This cage is interchangeable with other cage systems like Crittertrail®, Habittrail®, and S.A.M.systems. This cage is about the same size as a Crittertrail® 2-level cage.
