They got along well. I love it!

I was scared after reading a lot of bad reviews but I took the plunge and bought it anyway as Revain has a fantastic return policy. One end piece broke off but it still connected well and all sides stayed attached even without me having to glue the broken piece. My hamster now has more than enough space! Also, my hamster never chews on wooden objects in his cage, so I don't mind that this hutch isn't suitable for him. Also, animals in the wild don't have anyone to decide who they come into…

Pros
  • It's amazing
Cons
  • Not everything fits

Scrap don't waste your $$

Wish I'd assembled it right after I bought it so I could return it later. I wanted to assemble it but the parts weren't designed properly so they didn't fit together and ended up breaking off a piece of wood on one side (above). I thought it would be another small hut for my chinchillas to use. So I put it in their cage, they couldn't even fit in! They just sat on it. I don't think my chinchillas even grew! One is 7 months old and younger and I have never seen her go in. I even put food in to…

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

My hamster likes to hide in this house

I bought this for my Syrian hamster and he loves it! A small circle to get into the hutch is perfect for my Syrian hamster to be honest, but I'm not sure a plump chinchilla can get through? Anyway, this hut comes with parts that you need to assemble (you don't need any tools for this) and if you look at the back of the cover that came with the hut you will see assembly instructions. I read many reviews that said there was no instruction manual but there was one. The only issue I had with this…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Band

Destroyed within hours

To get rid of this I know chinchillas are known wood destroyers so I knew it wouldn't take forever. However, I didn't think it would last less than a day. First, the pieces weren't cut correctly, so it was very difficult for me to put them together. This isn't my first building materials rodeo, my whole house is furnished with Ikea stuff and I have some experience with wood. I understand it's cheap, but it's so cheap it cracked a bit when I put it together because the pieces were so uneven…

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Large Size for Syrian Hamsters

Let me first mention that I bought a Chin Hut for one of my Syrian Hamsters. I never know what to expect until things arrive. The price was right, it was wood and fur, I had no idea I would need to collect it, I skipped that part but to be honest I didn't look. All the pieces slide together easily enough, but not as easily as they fall apart. At worst, you'll pull out a hammer to put things in the right place. I'm trying to figure out where the 2019 reviewer said the nails were. It's all wood…

Pros
  • Consistent Test Results
Cons
  • Minor Issues

Hammy's new favorite hideout!

We got this for a hamster who may have a normal sized body but never knows he's surrounded by the longest and thickest fur full of down which makes him appear a lot bigger than he is . Thought he'd be more comfortable in a big hideout. This wooden hut goes well with one of our two animal trail huts, but it's just the old version that I bought on eBay, where most of the roof is locked in and opens up. We have tunnels that lead to another, newer Kaity cage that we could only fit a small wooden…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • New competitors have arrived

Great hay box for guinea pigs!

I've been looking for different hay boxes for my guinea pigs, but all I've found were handmade and cost $35 or more plus high shipping costs. Then I came across this and it looked perfect! I adopted two young guinea pigs (only 2 months old and from the same litter) and they were BOTH pregnant. It was a real surprise! So now I have 6 kids who are growing fast and eating A LOT. I filled her bag with hay more than 4 times a day so I needed something to hold enough hay to feed her throughout the…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Upgrade availability
