Absolutely adorable Hamster cage! 5 🌠!!! I have been eyeing this pink kit for quite some time. I finally decided to order and give it a try. I’d been apprehensive to go with a cage that has tubes because of how irritated I’d been with our Crittertrail setups. They would be dirty and smelly within a few days and the wheels they came with were so unbelievably loud. This purple wheel is so adorable and I read that it actually won an award, which in part is what helped sway me to buy this cage. The slit in the wheel center is the perfect width for all potty to fall through and the white catch all tray is very easy to slide off for cleaning. The wheel is about as quiet as the typical standing silent wheels and our winter white took to it right away. I had read other reviews stating the water bottle is leaky, but quickly resolved the problem by filling the bottle halfway, putting the cap on, inverting it into position, squeezing it slightly to let some water out and create a vacuum. Worked like a charm! The little playground hidey thing is quite a bit bigger than I think it needs to be, but my hamster crawed all over it right away, so she must like it. I really wish there were more pink and purple tubes and pods to add on, so that they can match, but it is alright because I love the bright clear colors in the ovo line. At the same time I purchased this cage, I bought the little green pod that seamlessly clips onto the cage. I can’t say enough how wonderful the connectors are. I am so used to breaking my nails trying to pop the crittertrail ones apart and what a nightmare cleanup can be. This cage is a breeze to clean up and my hamster seems to love it! Next I’ll probably buy one of the mazes and adventure packs to make her world more fun. There was a small smudge in the front plastic cover that I presume is from packaging or shipping but it does not compromise the cage in any way structurally, it’s just a little annoying to look at up close. Aside from that one small issue, I absolutely love this cage!

The media could not be loaded. This was the last Habitrail Ovo Habitat I purchased to round out our Habitrail Hamster Village.Of all of the OVO lineup, this one is the easiest to set up and has the fewest parts to contend with.The main pod is the same as the OVO Studio, The OVO Dwarf Hamster Habitat etc... same 132.73 square inches of roaming area the parts are completely interchangeable.The wheel is on the outside of the main pod, so this opens up the space for other interesting pet toys.The outside wheel is just over 7 and 1/2 inches in diameter, so plenty big, with a white piece to catch any bits and litter that might fall through the wheel openings.Assembly is easy and plans are well illustrated.The base is transparent, so your pet may feel a bit "exposed" and you will definitely want to get something that provides a dark hiding space for your pet to feel secure.This fine for Hamster, Gerbil, or Mouse, but should in my opinion, be attached to other Habitrail Habitats such as the Cristal, or if you want to go BIG, get the Habitrail Loft. Of all the habitats we currently own, the Habitrail Cristal seems to be a favorite location for using the exercise wheel and the drip, ball bearing style, drinker seems to be the most used by dwarf hamsters.For sleeping quarters, the upper pods of the Habitrail Dwarf Hamster Habitat is a favorite, and the second most used sleeping area is the lower level (under the cardboard maze) of the Habitrail Loft.The Hamsters have not used this exterior exercise wheel yet, but it's only been in use for 48 hours. Everything functions smoothly and the cage locks securely with a very good view of the interior from every direction.This also comes in Pink, and other than the color, it's identical.If you already like the other Habitrail OVO Units, you'll be equally pleased with this one and I could find no significant drawbacks.While I'm writing this review, one of the Robo Dwarf Hamsters is finally in the exterior exercise wheel, so that's a thumbs UP from her.Do I recommend it? Yes indeed, again, as a component of a larger system, not a stand-alone habitat. Habitrail hit it out of the park with the OVO lineup.

We have several other Habitrail ovo cages connected with a slew of tubes for our mice, we even have the blue version of this pink one ordered as well (with an external wheel & water bulb)… & the plastic can be a little ‘particular’ & brittle at first, but the systems are generally a better build than any other hamster/mouse cage we have owned… However THIS cage came with the dome completely broken in half (& was positioned in such a way that suggests it was shipped that way, not that it happened in transit), additionally there were several parts missing… the plastic food tray, cozy hideaway cube, water bulb & conectors/window were ALL missing), the only things that were in fact in the box was the enclosure itself (again with the entire top broken fully in two & with some plastic connector tabs broken off), & the wheel, with no connectors & another broken plastic tab in addition to having some ‘unclean’ material stuck on the inside of the tube suggesting that this was obviously previously used (poorly)… I do truly love these cages, but to send something in this condition was ridiculous enough, but additional to all this we had waited about 2.5 months for this item to finally be shipped out with several delays on previously estimated delivery dates… VERY DISAPPOINTED
