would this work well as a home extension for my hedgehog? I have an explorer that has figured out how to get out.

Answer by Chewy • May 21, 2018
Hedgehogs do like to climb so multi-level cages can make great homes.

Anything for 20 gallon tank?

Answer by Chewy • Jan 15, 2018
At this time this product is only available in a 10-gallon tank option.

Is the hideout connected to the ramp or can you remove it?

Answer by Chewy • Jan 14, 2019
The ramp won't reach the bottom of the tank without the little brick house. If the house was removed, the ramp would be too steep for your pet to use it.

Would it be good for a teddy bear hamster because I might be getting a 60 gallon from a friend and my hamster might be too large? What should I do?

Answer by Chewy • Jul 25, 2018
This home topper for small animals should be fine for your teddy bear hamster to use. However, some pets are bigger and smaller than the average. It would be best to decide based on the measurements of the home topper and the size of your pet.

Don't use with mice

The wires are very flimsy, easily moveable, and one section I could fit my hand through. If my hands fits, a mouse will fit.

Necessity for Gerbils

This add on is necessary for all gerbils, in my opinion. They love the extra space to explore, climb, and jump, and had extra room to attach a wheel as to not be buried in their bedding. I don’t like this topper, but it seems to be the only one commercially available. It’s way too expensive, has flimsy plastic ramps that are already starting to break, and the platforms are difficult to snap in place. My biggest qualm is that the only door is on the top of the cage. Why?! It makes it impossible to adjust anything in the tank without completely removing the top. I wish there was another door on the side of the cage.

Mice can escape

So I found an abandoned deer mouse that I took in. I wanted to give him some extra room but he can fit through the bars. I caught him when he ran up my pants leg

So I found an abandoned deer mouse that I took in. I wanted to give him some extra room but he can fit through the bars. I caught him when he ran up my pants leg and started taste testing my knee. If you’re wanting this for anything smaller than a hamster, buy some mesh to put over the wires first before your knee becomes an appetizer!

Pretty good

Ordered as a temporary cage setup addon to a tank. Critters like it fairly well, although I definitely will be upgrading from it

good buy if you have a small tank

i got this addition because i didn’t feel like the 10 gallon tank was enough. this was a super good buy! i will say tho, if you have a pet whose a really big chewer,

i got this addition because i didn’t feel like the 10 gallon tank was enough. this was a super good buy! i will say tho, if you have a pet whose a really big chewer, you’re going to have to find replacements for them to climb on. thankfully my gerbil doesn’t chew on plastic & has always done well with plastic tubes, my others have not though so this setup would be out of the question for them. someone also said something about it having huge gaps, and it definitely doesn’t. unless you have tiny little baby mice, i do not believe your pet will escape. i recommend!

Tank Topper Hamster Cage

The tank toooer was sent and honestly thought I had actually clicked the fish tank first. It was a little difficult to connect to tank otherwise is as described

Bar spacing not appropriate for mice

This is advertised as being for mice, hamsters and rats. But realistically it's not appropriate for any of these small animals. The spacing on the bars is way too

This is advertised as being for mice, hamsters and rats. But realistically it's not appropriate for any of these small animals. The spacing on the bars is way too large for mice. And a 10 gallon aquarium even with this addition doesn't even closely meet the basic space requirements for hamsters or rats. I had to heavily modify this so my mice wouldn't be able to slip right through the bars. I also found it annoying that the ramp doesn't reach the bottom without the hide box which is very large and takes up 1/3 of a 10 gallon aquarium.
