Zoozone Habitat, Medium, Pink

Product Information

Buying a smaller cage will lead to problems with space, as the cage needs to have enough space for a hedgehogs housing, running wheel, feeding and drinking bowls, with some owners electing to also include a litter tray. IDEAL HABITAT: Cage for hamsters and mice, opening roof with grid, for correct internal ventilation. The 7 mm space between the bars makes it suitable for various species of hamsters. Zoozone hamster cages are easy to clean out because the base clips off easily. The Zoozone hamster cage design has a hay compartment on the right hand side, so it’s great if your hammy likes hay. The size of the Zoozone Large Hamster cage is 101 x 51 x 22cm and it weighs 5.88 Kilograms. This is plenty big enough for a hamster habitat. It also is advertised as being suitable for guinea pigs and rabbits, but I would still prefer slightly larger cages for those animals if possible.

The Zoozone cage not only has high sides but these sides are quite slippery so it is very difficult for a hedgehog to be able to stand up against the sides and this is great in teaching the hedgehog to eventually learn there’s little point in trying to stand against the side of the cage as they will simply fall to the side. Hamsters have long been a popular pet among both adults and children. And though it may seem that your choice of cage is less important than keeping your beloved pet fed and stopping it from escaping, many cages are not designed to last, are too small, or have other glaring faults. has full armored cable protection to provide protection for the main cable that connects the heat mat to the power supply.

The depth of the bottom of the cage needs to be sufficiently deep to protect against the hedgehog trying to climb up, or even as our hedgehog does, try to stand on their hind legs with their front legs pushed against the side of the cage. Can hedgehogs have multi level cages? Multi-level cages look like good choices for hedgehogs as they try to provide more space by cleverly using additional levels through the use of ramps, however this can put the hedgehog in potential danger, as due to their poor eyesight and depth perception. We struggled finding a plastic tub large enough for our hedgehog to use as a bath and getting one that was big enough was difficult. We did even look at a child’s plastic bathtub with some of these being 4 feet long (120 cm) by 2 feet wide (60 cm) with a depth of 2 feet (60 cm) but felt a cage was better, as it wouldn’t look too out of ordinary compared to a bathtub.

The bottom plastic part of a cage is known as the pan and the deeper this is, that is, the height from the floor to where the plastic ends, the less chance the hedgehog has of climbing out, thereby protecting them from any attempts at escape. One thing worth noting is the Zoozone doesn’t come pre-equipped with additional accessories such as wheel and house. However, because it gives your hamster so much space at such an affordable price, it should still be cheaper and more spacious than many rivals once fully equipped. Our Zoozone cage is very robust and has stood the test of time, without any damage from daily use and cleaning. Cage Pans and Trays Where should I keep my hedgehog cage? Where you keep your hedgehog’s cage, depends on the room where the cage will be kept. If the room is cold then placing the cage on the floor could be a problem, as heat rises leaving the room floor colder than if the cage were kept on a table in the same room.

They could end up falling off the ramps and injuring themselves. Hedgehogs do not have the feet capable of holding onto or grasping the ramps, so they end up falling off quite easily if they mistakenly believe the edge of the ramp had additional space beyond it.

The Ferplast Duna Maxi Multy is one of the costliest entries on this list, but for good reason. While many cages are so small that they verge on cruel, this model’s capacious design comfortably trumps almost every other offering. Pair this expansiveness with a deep base ideal for burrowing, and your hamsters have the perfect home. It’s so large that once it’s been filled with all the accessories your hamster needs, it will still have plenty of space to run around. We took out the litter tray we were using because it took up too much valuable space and found it better to have the space and remove our hedgehogs poop each day not too much of a chore at all. Size is one of the most important factors when buying a hamster cage. Many cages do not offer enough space, and if a hamster’s living area is too small it will become stressed, unhappy and unhealthy. Indeed, hamsters need lots of room, and the cage must have enough room to house nesting material and the aforementioned items of enrichment and entertainment. Instead, our hedgehog lives with us in the main family room which is heated, with the heating coming on in the morning and early evening for a few hours a day, with the heating thermostat set to come on if the temperature drops below 64.5F (18C). We just have to flip the grill at the top to open, allowing easy access and making it a breeze to move items in and out of the cage. Our cage grill is sufficiently far from the base of the cage, making it difficult to impossible for our hedgehog to actually escape from the cage and this is vitally important. As a hedgehog escape could end up being disastrous especially if the hedgehog cannot find anywhere warm to curl up. Partial Wire Cages

What do hedgehogs need in their cage? A hedgehog’s cage needs to have plenty of space for their housing, running wheel, feeding and drinking bowls, with optionally space for a litter tray. Some of these items are quite large, so require a lot more space which smaller cages would not be able to provide.

If you want to provide your hamster with one of the best cages on the market, prices can start rising rapidly. However, if you’re on a tight budget, the Rosewood Abode is a great option, as it has enough space to provide a Dwarf hamster with ample space and enrichment, at a very affordable price. Their taller sides may stop surrounding heat from circulating into the tub, providing an environment that’s either colder than expected or if it is summer, an environment where heat takes longer to dissipate, making it too hot at ground level for the hedgehog.This might restrict the hedgehog from venturing out, even if there is bedding on top of the metal pan. I found the plastic pan of the Zoozone, quite effective at keeping a moderate temperature all year round, without interfering in the temperature of the bedding. While Dwarf hamsters are more sociable than Syrian hamsters, and can often enjoy sharing a home, it’s important to note that groups must be formed early in their lives, and you should be prepared to house your pets separately if they don’t get on well together. If the depth of the plastic pan of the cage is insufficient and the top part of the cage was made of wire, there would be a risk of the hedgehog getting their front legs and feet caught in the wire and worse still they could be left hanging in severe pain and agony. We keep our hedgehogs cage on the floor as the room we use tends to be warm all year round, otherwise if the room was colder than we would like, we would definitely looking at having the cage in a raise position such as on a table.
