Product Review: Marchioro LUX Hamster Cage

I needed a few more hamster cages for my ever growing hamster family, and I didn't want to have to pay an arm and a leg. I went hunting and came across the Marchioro LUX hamster cage. It was very simple. It had a water bottle, a hamster wheel, 2 food dishes, and a hamster house. This was all I needed as I had already created my own hamster litter boxes. The Marchioro LUX hamster cage is a one story cage which measures: 16 x 11 x 9 inches. This size cage is perfect because it allowed me to replace the hamster wheel that came with the cage with the Super Pet Silent spinner.

If you need a hamster cage that's easy to use, maintain, and put together, then this is the right one for you. The Marchioro line of hamster cages are great for children because they are easy to open and pop the top off of. They are secure and safe both for children, and the hamster. The only recommendation I would add is, if you create a shelf for this style cage be sure to fasten the top of the cage with wire because the hamsters will be high enough to push the lid open and escape.

Because the Marchioro LUX hamster cage is so small, your hamster may become quickly bored, so be sure to have other toys in the cage so the hamster won't be chewing on the bars all night long. Using empty toilet rolls will help as a cheap toy.

The Marchioro LUX Hamster Cage can be purchased online at places such as amazon.com, petsmart.com, or your local Pet Smart store. Prices range from anywhere from $19.99 to $35.99, all depending upon sales. Sometimes the cage has been sold without the water bottle, thus the lower price.

The water bottle that is meant to come with Marchioro LUX style cage is very useful. It's a top fill water bottle that attaches on the outside of the hamsters cage. The tip or mouth of the water bottle is created in such a way that there is no leakage. The hamster pushes in the tip to get the water. This style water bottle makes it even more of an ideal hamster cage for children.

I rate the Marchioro LUX hamster cage a 9 out of 10 stars. I only rate it a 9 because it would have been nice to have an extra shelf to put in which I created for my hamsters so they don't get bored. Besides that, the Marchioro LUX hamster cage would be a 10. So if you are looking for the perfect cage for your child's hamster, or simply looking to save you time and hassle, this is the perfect hamster cage for you.
