...suddenly noticed a cage by HABITRAIL ( a leading brand in hamster care) call SAFARI.
HABITRAIL'S SAFARI looked very exciting. It was atractively coloured in shades of khaki green and orange, came with a large robust looking exercise wheel, drinking bottle,feeding dish, a resting platform complete with a slide leading up and down to and from it..."whee!" great fun!!! The fact that it was entirely made from plastic made me think it may not last as ... ...COST
I bought my Habitrail cage at a local independent pet store - and they were only asking £18.99 for it. I was told that most good pet stores ie; Petsmart Habitrail cages retail from between £27-£30! Maybe you could get it for less if they were having a sale..but nevertheless I wasn't complaining. I checked on the internet keying "Habitrail" into www.google.co.uk and I found that the basic SAFARI set cost around £18 -£20..I don't know about p&p ...

Advantages: Good quality adaptable cages create a nice environment Disadvantages: Quite expensive and fairly hard to clean/put back together again
I bought a Habitrail cage and accessories for my hamsters, and have mixed feelings about it. What I got was the "safari" cage with lots of tube attachements and extra "space station"-type room, bedroom and maze unit. The thing that attracted me to it was the fat that it wasn't an obtrusive colour, like a lot of hamster cages can be (it's predominantly khaki green), it fits in well with my lounge, and looked like good fun for my hamsters. It fits ... ...quite difficult to separate the tubes from eachother, as they're connected by little rubber rings, and it takes leverage from a knife or other impliment to get them apart for cleaning. Both the hamsters loved the fact that although it was a cage, there were attached tubes to the bedroom and so they were both able to have space, and burrow in their tunnels too. The wheel in the cage is the best I've seen too, as it's a generous size and has got a ...

...'Seapets' and browsed through the Habitrail and Rotastak collection of cages. Knowing these cages were way too good for our little hammy we decided to move on, a few minutes later when we still hadn't decided on a suitable cage so the shop assistant came over and gave us some help and assistance, he showed us this 'Habitrail' cage, we told him we only had £20 and he said that's lucky, the cage is £20! We couldn't believe it, we thought those kind ... ...of two habitrail cages, a safari style cage or a space style cage, I was wuite interested in the space cage though the safari one looked more fun for the hamster so we settled on that one. The cage itself is called the 'Habitrail Safari Cage' and is dark green in colour. (Safari colour!) Although it is quite small you can add on tubes, sleeping compartments, mazes and lots more too though all at extra costs. We stuck with the cage and our little ...

HABITRAIL SAFARI CAGE
ABOUT THE COMPANY & HABITRAIL
Habitrail are owned by Rolf C Hagen, but one of their warehouses is based near where I live at Whitwood, West Yorkshire.
There are plenty of pet shops who stock Habitrail products throughout the UK.
Habitrail cages have been around for the last 10 years or so, they started with the larger cages such as Circus Unit, Park Unit, Home unit and another design (sorry ... ...is suitable with all other Habitrail accessories should you get fed up of the safari theme and want to add some colour.
PRICE
Prices start from as little as £2.99 or less for the tubes and go up to £30.00 for the larger items which is a lot more reasonable then some of the cages on the market.
When you first purchase any of these items it is best to get an adult to put these together as little fingers are likely to get trapped ...

Advantages: Good for the hamster, looks good, easy to clean. Disadvantages: First time assembly can be quite difficult
When I decided it was time that "Foley" needed a new cage, I decided to get him something a little more exciting than your usual run-of-the-mill metal bars style home. I got him a habitrail. The safari cage comes complete with stickers to give your hamster's new home a distinctly, well, odd look. However, the tunels and runs that he had were much more greatly appreciated. With seperate "apartments" for sleeping, eating, and playing, as well as a ... ...as it's predecessors, Foley was in hamster heaven. Even better is the fact that, with numerous tunels, and just about endless configurations for your various sections, you can change the hamster's house if you like. And if you choose to leave it exactly as it is to start with, well, then that is just like the hamster's natural habitat.
The hamster will gain a great deal from this style of house - firstly, by placing his food and bedding in areas ...

Advantages: Adequete ventilation, attractive, fun for pet. Disadvantages: Quite small, additional tubing etc can be expensive.
I recently brought a habitrail playground although it is basically the same as the safari but in different colours. I purchased it from Pampurred Pets for only £19.99. My first thoughts of this hamster cage were very good, i liked the fact that it came with a wheel, water bottle and food bowl. I also like that although it is a plastic cage, the hamster will still get plenty of ventilation as there are still some bars unlike many other plastic hamster ... ...cage, you would be better off getting soem of the additional tubing as well to make the cage more interesting and to give your pet more to do. A disadvantage of this cage is that it is fairly small. After buying one of these cages i felt that it was too small for my hamster, and therefore bought another one the same and connected the two together using tubing. To buy a set of tubing costs from £8.00 - £14.99 and i bought it from Pampurred Pets for ...

Quick review of Habitrail Safari Cage
Hamster-owners should be aware of the risk involved with the provided Habitrail hamster-wheel!
While running a hamster can easily get its foot caught in one of the narrow gaps between the two plastic sides of the wheel, and get its leg broken.
If you want to buy the Habitrail Playground, with its hard to clean out add-ons, I strongly recommend providing your furry friend with a different exercise-wheel!
I would also like to ad that my new hamster easily escapes from his Habitrail cage simply by prying the plastic-door open. ...
