Is there another lid that can be purchased to block the opening? I'd like the option of removing the ball but don't want the top of the cage open.

Answer by ChewyApr 30, 2020
At this time, a replacement cover is not available for this habitat.

Will I be able to connect it with other cages using the tubes that are sold seperatly.? I want to expand his cage so he’s able to go back and forth between two cages

Answer by ChewyJul 18, 2019
CritterTrail habitats may be connected by using tubes. Additional habitats and tubes are sold separately.

How do you use the exercise ball without the cage

Answer by ChewyApr 13, 2019
The exercise ball is removable so you can place it on a flat surface and let the small animal play inside of it.

Is there a way to get another ball that attaches to the cage like that? I can’t find another attachment like that for the cage I have now. All other wheels that connect to the tubes are too small for my hamster.

Answer by ChewyApr 14, 2020
At this time, this CritterTrail doesn't offer an additional exercise ball.

Not as advertised. Very small and narrow tubing.

First off this is not the size advertised. this is 14" long and 9" tall and 9" wide. So very small. this would be perfect for a mouse, or maybe a dwarf hamster. But don't buy it because it is not worth the money they want for it. The tubing is very narrow. The ball is useless because my hamster can't get around the bend to get into it. I also haven't seen him go into the lookout tower yet. I think after getting stuck and struggling to get out of the ball tubing, she may not ever explore any further. Also the dimensions.

Terrible

Just opened new from the box and 3 big cracks. 1 at the bottom of the cage, 1 on the blue piece that holds the ball and 1 that goes over half of the UFO tower.

This cage is NOT BIG ENOUGH for a regular sized hamster, I did get the much larger one to attach and I love it. The only problem I have with this cage, is that my little guy loves to use the ball on top to burrow and sleep instead of run. Which was a problem when I didn’t have the larger cage attached because he wasn’t getting exercise. Now the problem is cleaning it. I would like if there was an option to remove the whole ball piece and replace it with something like a top resting thing like in other cages. I see there it not a replacement for this, even just a lid would be nice because I would prefer to not have it. Otherwise, the cage is ok besides being WAY TOO SMALL.

I really like this cage for my little hammy. It’s a good started cage to start adding more cages onto it. The only downside is both my hamsters I had don’t use the wheel which is okay. This cage is really secure it’s just really hard to take apart to finally clean. I wish there was more tubes and tunnels so I don’t have to just buy an extra cage and have useless tools I don’t need like an extra wheel that I already have. I’ve had hamsters that were master experts at breaking out of cages. Weights, zip ties, blocks, tape, and everything. But this one is pretty good. I just can’t leave the door open to it lol.

My son's hamster got out through the tower ! Just like a review I just read . They must have done a terrible job designing the cage because if it's meant for hamsters and they are able to pop it open it's just terrible. I do not recommend this cage what so ever ! We had to put zipties around the tower so he wouldn't be able to get out and get hurt .

Would give it no stars if that was an option. Twice this week our hamster escaped from a firmly secured lookout tower. Last night's escape was fatal. She was a healthy and beloved hamster. Our daughters are devastated. My guess is the hamster was stronger than the engineering of the locks.

The S curve tunnel access to the wheel is too sharply curved for an adult hampster to comfortably maneuver. The fix points for the wheel itself are flimsy, and not secure at all, we had to eliminate that section entirely. We also had to reconfigure the tower to a sideways, horizontal position, making the "observation deck" into a sleep chamber instead, due to flimsy connection points. Cute design concept, poor execution.

I ordered two and one was broken when I took it out of the box. CS has never responded and I sent in photos. I'm going to try glue, but where the cracks are is where one of the important tubes is supposed to go and I dont think glue will hold it. Never had a problem like this from Chewy before.
