As a new Hamster owner trying to succeed at creating a comfortable habitat for my hamster, Iโll share what Iโve learned so far for those who might find it helpful.
The Ferplast Favola Large Hamster Cage arrived looking just as advertised, cage was packaged well and arrived without issue. Pros: middle insert can be removed, itโs easy to clean, paper stays contained in the bottom portion of cage, comes with some accessories (wheel, water bottle, food dish, house) Cons: Door placement on top of cage can be hard to maneuver hand around inside, provided wheel is small (size 6.5) and provided water bottle didnโt work properly. Below Iโve listed the wheel and water bottle I bought to replace these.
1. **Cage/habitat size is very important** the more space you can provide the better. Per the description, each cage is approx. 340 sq. inches of floor space. This is smaller than the recommended habitat size per my research for a hamster (Dwarf and Chinese Hamsters require a minimum of 600 sq. inches of floor space, Syrian Hamsters need a minimum of 900 sq. inches of floor space.) I bought 2 of these cages to start (half price of each cage at time of purchase, equaled 2 cages for the price of what 1 normally costs in other similar type cages). Combined, 2 cages provide approx. 680 sq. inches of floor space, thus meeting the minimum habitat requirement in sq. inch floor space size for a Dwarf or Chinese Hamster. For a Syrian Hamster, 3 of these cages combined would provide approx. 1,020 sq. inches of floor space.
2. **Tubes** for connecting to cages/habitat โ the Ferplast brand tubes (can purchase on Amazon) work great, theyโre sturdy, can take apart for cleaning, I added a few โtelescopingโ tube pieces making my building/connecting easier.
3. **Cart to hold Cages** COMPLETELY OPTIONAL, but I found it made my experience much easier for set up and ongoing cage maintenance. Per the description, each cage dimension is 23.6 L x 14.4 W x 11.8 H. I found in noting this size and researching some โ3 Tier Kitchen, Bakerโs Rack Microwave Oven Stand/Cartโ fit the size needed to hold cages nicely. I also found at a popular Craft Store a Rolling Cart with 2 metal shelves, and drawers underneath that works perfectly for holding 2 cages. Prices vary, but I located both options priced each at around $85. There are many options out there for 2 or 3 tier shelf racks/carts, I personally like a rolling cart so I can move it for easier cleaning then lock wheels down once back in place.
4. **Hamster Wheel** I replaced the included wheel with a Niteangel Super-Silent (can purchase on Amazon) a size Small (8.3) fit in the middle of the insert without issue. You can adjust the wheel up/down as needed. My hamster loves this wheel and itโs super quiet!
5. **Water Bottle** I replaced the included water bottle with a bigger capacity one. The Lixit bottle (can purchase on Amazon). I did find that it does occasionally drip, so I placed the Niteangel Hamster Glass Water bowl (purchase on Amazon) under the water spout and it works great. My hamster doesnโt move the dish around due to the weight of it, and the dome in the middle I like because he doesnโt get wet. He sometimes drinks out of the dish where the water drips collect, other times he uses the spout.
Overall, Iโm satisfied and feel the value is great for the price I paid. My hamster loves the plastic house accessory that came with the cage. I would recommend getting this cage as long as itโs partnered to connect with another as you do need more space than this cage alone to meet the space requirement needs of your hamster.

This product was easy to set up. The instructions were clear and I only had 2 issues. The water bottle and wheel were to small for my hamster, a Syrian. But no biggie, I just replaced them. My hamster loves it and I really like it. It’s easy to maintain and clean. Not only does it fit nicely, but it also looks nice. Doesn’t take up a lot of space either. ๐๐

As many reviews have stated before, this cage arrived promptly and well packaged. It provides ample room for Syrians or dwarfs and is entirely customizable with an opening to add tubes/connect to other cages. The top level can also be removed if you so choose but I find that my ham likes the option to be able to “spider-hamster” off the top bars of the cage. My only critique of the product is that the water bottle provided was faulty and did not work as it should’ve, so it was fortunate that we were monitoring the water level daily. However, a quick call to the MidWest call center and a replacement bottle was promptly dispatched. Overall, an easy-to-clean/use, durable item for an affordable price – would recommend!

The cage is good size for our hamster. However, the wheel is terrible! The wheel mechanism is not smooth and itโs too heavy for the hamster to run/ turn. I need to buy a separate wheel. It also arrived with a crack but itโs too much trouble for me to return it.

OMG!!! Love this cage!! The delivery was fast, only 2 days and it was well packaged! Thank you AMAZON!!
The cage is huge, lots of space to run around. I love the middle section, it’s a hard plastic and so easy to clean.. each night when I take the top part off, which is also easy to remove, and then just take the plastic middle and dump out the excess food and wipe it down and put it back and voilร all clean again. The bottom part is a clear plastic but I find it fragile, you have to be careful when washing it because it can crack easily… ๐ that is my only complaint about the cage! Other than that, my hamster loves it, she’s a Syrian hamster, only 2 months old, not full grown yet! The wheel that comes with the cage is small, meant more for a dwarf hamster or mouse, but no problem I replaced it with a comfort wheel I already had purchased, the water bottle is small as well and plastic, works great but I prefer glass so I replaced it with the glass one I already had and also food dish is huge so I put a smaller one!! Oh and another great feature, on one side there is an area where you can connect tubes, which I have ordered to make the cage more fun!! ๐
I totally recommend this cage, great size, super easy to clean and not a bad price for what you get!!
Enjoy!

Mi mayor preocupaciรณn al momento de elegir casa para mi hรกmster era el tamaรฑo, no soy un conocedor de los hรกmster pero el mรญo tiene un tamaรฑo considerable, por lo que las jaulas โnormalesโ rรกpidamente se quedaron chicas para el, sin embargo con esta jaula tiene espacio suficiente para unas carreras cortas, escalar y resulta que le gusta brincar del piso superior al inferior y volver a subir rรกpidamente para volver a hacerlo. Por alguna extraรฑa razรณn no le gusta usar la rueda por lo que estoy considerando quitarla, pero en si estoy muy contento con mi compra, y mi amigo roedor tambiรฉn.

Update: I originally ordered the open box version of this that amazon offered and had a horrible experience which you can read about below. I would not recommend doing that with this cage. I received a free brand new replacement Because I called customer service and when they offered to send me a refurbished cage I said no, I want a new one because of my bad experience with the open box (which was supposed to be new anyway) and to my surprise they agreed and gave me a coupon for the difference Plus refunded me fully when I returned the damaged one. So I got the new cage for $15 off the price at the time. So now Iโm happy with customer service, just not impressed with the open box experience.
Iโd highly recommend this cage for dwarf hamsters. The bars are very close together, thereโs plenty of space for our hamster to run around, and no way of escape. The house and food bowl and wheel all seem sturdy and nice. The water bottle is very tiny and it leaks from the spout when he drinks and leaves a puddle. I also like the upstairs and downstairs design of this cage and I think itโs a safe height so he doesnโt die if he falls down the hole. He did that immediately but I guess he actually jumped over the side (Thereโs a hamster height lip around the hole) because he was scared when we first put him in, but the height isnโt much and heโs fine. He actually did it again so maybe he enjoyed it! I also really like the fact that the floor is not wire. Itโs solid plastic. I havenโt cleaned it yet but everything comes apart and goes together easily.
The only cons to this cage are that it is plastic. I donโt feel that this type of plastic will hold up over time. Itโs very brittle stiff plastic. My suspicions were confirmed when I received the original open box cage which had obviously been either used or sitting in a warehouse baking in the heat because the plastic was cracked and shattered. Itโs that kind of plastic that cracks easily. The new one I have now is in perfect condition and as long as it doesnโt sit in the sun I donโt see how it will get that way. But you need to be careful when taking it apart. Itโs brittle. For the price, I think this kind of plastic is really aggravating. But I felt like this was the best design I could order in this price range for a dwarf hamster and a wheel included, and I think thatโs still true even after all the mess Iโve gone through.
โORIGINAL REVIEWโ
I ordered this a week ago and it finally arrived today. First of all, I donโt know why amazon suddenly takes a week to arrive when I have prime, but anyway, my product arrived damaged.
As a note, I purchased the โopen boxโ version of this product to try to save $10. I find all hamster cages insanely over priced for what you get so that was my reasoning. The description of an open box item was simply that: it was opened and returned but there should be nothing wrong with it. I donโt care about packaging as long as my item is new and Not damaged.
The box is fine so it wasnโt the delivery. The plastic corner and also along the lip of the plastic bottom where it meets the wire top of the cage is also shattered. In all honesty it looks like someone used this cage and all itโs parts for a month or six months and then returned it. Either that or itโs been sitting in a warehouse somewhere baking in the heat and it damaged the plastic. Itโs cracked cheap looking plastic. Even the hamster wheel has marks on it where the plastic looks like itโs been rubbing against something. Thereโs scratches all over it.
So now my only option is to return this and get my money back on my amazon account, not back to my card it looks like. Thatโs annoying. Also I donโt want to return it. I want a replacement. It looks like a good cage design which is why I bought it. Iโm in desperate need of this cage, my hamster is camping out in a rigged fish tank and waiting a week was already inconvenient. Thanks Prime, for nothing. My other option is to call the manufacturer. Itโs Sunday so Iโll have to wait till tomorrow, but I donโt even feel like dealing with that aggravation. This is why I pay for prime, so I can have fast shipping and easy returns. I guess buying the open box wasnโt worth it. As you can see in my photo whoever looked this over before shipping (if they even did!) left the opened bags for screws in the accessory bag, basically garbage. It just shows how little they cared about anything.
Another note: the water bottle is extremely tiny. I heard this cage was great for dwarf hamsters which is why I got it, so maybe this is a normal size? Not sure but thought Iโd mention it.
