Prevue 528: Walkthrough

The basics

The Cage

Amazon has this cage but prices do fluctuate. Typical range is between $80-125.  Link to Purchase Here


Set Up 

Let's ditch the platform! We suggest removing the grey platform and ramp. It's okay to leave it in, you do you. But the hamster tends to hide under it AND you need room for more toys.  


Bedding

The first thing you put in the cage is the bedding. Fill the cage with at least 4 inches of bedding or use the entire bag of this Kaytee Clean and Cozy Paper Bedding. 


Water Bottle

The best water bottle for this Hamster Paradise is the Oasis Water Bottle. The  Best Deal is the 2 Pack or you can get the Single Bottle. We suggest these 4 oz. bottles because the 8 oz. bottles are tall and hinder where you can put it .


Wheel 

Pick any wheel you like from our list of approved and beloved options on our Wheel Page

More goodies

Hanging Platform

Hanging Platform

​Hamsters like to climb so we need to get them something to climb on so they don't fall and hurt themselves. We use these Fabric Platforms sold on Amazon . Purchase at least 1 size large. If you want to get 2 of them, then you can even get a smaller size for the 2nd one. Mix it up!

Savik Sputnik XL

Hanging Platform

Piglet's favorite cage toy is his Sputnik. You can hang it from the top or set it on the bottom of the cage. If you want to make it hang from the top, be sure to have it near an item that he can use to climb in and out of it on. For example, set the wood house next to it so they can climb up on the house and then into the Sputnik. We don't want to create a long fall.

Baskets and trays

Kaytee Woodland Hideaway

You probably have one around the house you can use or check out the Dollar Store, Target or Walmart. All you have to do is zip tie them to the cage. Again we want to place them where they won't nose dive. ​

Cheeky Hammocks!
