Hamster Cage or Toy? | Tiny Tales XL Dinosaur Cage Review

My PetSmart finally had the Tiny Tales XL Dinosaur cage in stock so I snagged it so I could finally see it for myself and give a full review.
Please sign the PetSmart cage petition: www.change.org/p/petsmart-mak...
It also helps if you let PetSmart know how you feel about their line of cages the louder our voices are the more likely they are to be heard.

I hate it when people say, “it’s just a hamster, it doesn’t care what it lives in.” A hamster is a living breathing animal that deserves to live a healthy happy life. Yes, it’s true that hamsters do not perceive their surroundings the same way human beings do, but that being said, hamsters do know when they are being harmed and forcing a hamster to live in this cage is abusive towards your pet.

What happens if your hamster doesn't have a wheel. My hamster is in his smaller cage(regular cage like hers from the beginning ) because the bigger one is broken. He escaped once from the big one and once in the small one when the pet area wasn't locked. Anyways, my hamster cannot have a wheel I his smaller cage so I'm unsure what to do.

[@person_die_existiert]

It's still shocking to see how bad animal care in the USA is. German hamstercare is great, I got all the information and a 1m² enclosure for my baby. Even in our petstores they use proper wooden bedding and no pink paper stuff. And it's still animal cruelty. I really don't get how this can still be legal. Gladly those dinosaurs aren't allowed to be selled here.

Yeah, small animals and fish everyone thinks it's so easy to properly take care of fish

[@kittenmimi5326]

@CONNOR PARKS right? Those who knew proper hamster care has somewhat limited options... sth else not specifically made for hamster. Must sort through and stay away fro small hamster wheels and soft plastic hamster furnitures, small cages etc that is everywhere on the market. And then for proper cage you still gotta DIY, buy furniture (ikea detolf or whatever), bin, or a small handful of good hamster cage brands (like niteangel), or the kaytee super habitat (idk the extra large one) savic or sth

[@abigailheagney2632]

I personally bought a hamster a month ago and bought a small cage because I didn’t research before hand, the lady told my just to connect them to other cages for more space. I am now building her a cage that will have 1,152 sq in of floor space, the cage I have her in now is a temporary enclosure of two ten gallons linked up. (I upgraded her from the first cage to a ten gallon and then just a few days ago linked a second one) people really need to start hiring employees that have more knowledge the woman I talked to had a hamster herself and said she had a bin cage when I asked if the store bought cages were okay she said yes. I know she was only doing her job and this was mostly my fault for not doing research before hand and I’m racked with guilt but this is just no okay.

[@abigailheagney2632]

People suggest not manufacture these cages in the first place because it can lead people to just assume that the store knows what they’re talking about or that the employee has more knowledge than they actually do.

[@ladygoth8057]

This is actually so heartbreaking to me that a hamster will be stuck inside this cage for the rest of it’s life. No hamster should have to survive in a small enclosed space such as this, it’s abuse.

[@TheaVee]

Arthoria yes, she might have misused the word abuse, but if you can’t afford the pet, don’t get the pet. If you can’t provide a proper sized cage because you say it costs too much, try bin cages that can be $20-$30.

[@spitz5789]

Calm down

[@lucywooldridge8525]

Arthoria I stand by what I said. If you cannot afford to correctly provide the proper care for a hamster then you shouldn’t be owning one at all. It’s animal abuse for a living creature to be kept in an enclosure like that.

[@carinateebken5202]

@Arthoria bin cages are cheaper than this, they can be 20-40 dollars when you put a mesh top into it so they don’t get out and this dinosaur cage is 75 dollars. also other people have pointed this out, but if you don’t have the money to properly care for an animal and give them a happy life and a large enclosure, then don’t get that animal.

[@krystianagraham178]

As a rabbit owner, I've never really thought about hamsters, but I've seen what these companies advertise as a 'rabbit cage' - which is usually what we purchase as a LITTER BOX. This is hugely opening my eyes about some of the other critters out there, and know even my sister was guilty of doing cages like crittertrails, even if it was 2 or 3 cages hooked up together. These cages are geared towards the littles who get these 'first pet' animals, who want a cool cage, rather than a proper size cage with all of the necessities they need to live happy. I thought rabbits had dangerous cages made for them to sucker in new bunny parents, but I now suspect hamsters have it even worse!

[@subzero2488]

I was about to say the same. It's made to be appealing to children but within a week the parents and child (assuming this child is old enough to even clean the enclosure) are going to be sick of it, leading to half hearted cleaning and in the long run the hamsters most likely either going to get sick or be given away.

I totally agree when you say "a pet is not your entertainment". I'm always against buying an animal for a kid, unless the kid loves animals and wants learn to take care of them and, ofc, the parents wants take care of the animal as well in case the kid loses interest. It happened exactly with my brother. He bought an hamster for this 4years old son, but hamsters can bite and are squishy, they're not a plush. Plus, they live more during the night. In the end, the hamster he bought has been left in a plastic cage by itself. I won't show you the photos of his enclosure. Just know i changed it asap with a temporary one. Now the hamster is with me and in a few weeks he's going to get a new big and shiney enclosure. I want the best for him! I'll buy what he needs. Me and my mom didn't it before because we had no idea my brother had left even his hamster at home lol and we lack of money this month. It's matter of 2-3 weeks :D Sorry for the long comment. I want thank you for the information you share with us. When i started to read about hamsters (and other rodents), i knew only a few of these things. I discovered your channel and I'm watching all the videos :D And I'm glad in Italy we don't have these weird cages lol yes, we have small ones, plastic etc, but nothing like this dinosaur monstrosity 😱

[@icekking_3292]

I recently asked my dad to buy a hamster cage before we got a new hamster and he said okay. So I was out when my dad messaged me “I bought a new cage” and I got exited and went straight to home. When I got into the house I saw my dad smiling standing next to that dinosaur cage(he had already built it) and I was like DAAAAAD! wHAt Is THAt?! I really liked it for looks but I knew it wasn’t suitable for a hamster so I didn’t think twice. Long story short we returned it and bought a large tank, for less money...

[@Gam1ngM3nace]

Bad cages should be expensive while the goods should be cheap

[@Waves424]

Felix Shadow cat the bad cages are expensive and the good ones are cheap it’s just that little children love how the critter trails look

[@dirtysocks7585]

when I bought my hamster we bought a critter trail cage and we have had it for about 1 and a half months, I realized that my Syrian doesn't use its wheel ( it was like 5 feet) so I asked my parents to buy a nine-inch wheel and we made a bin cage, now my hamster loves to run on its wheel and I think its very happy.

0:54 sad thing is that's the hamster cage I have my hamster in right now, it was recommended to me by one of the employees when I was purchasing my first hamster. Then again I have a roborovski drwarf hamster and he doesn't seem to mind it that much, but maybe in the future I'll consider moving him to something bigger. Update: I have gone ahead and moved my hammy over to a larger bin cage and I even got another hammy, separate cages of course and love them both.

[@SerenityBugify]

@@daisyverhoeff9095 our store only sells fish and we host cats from the shelter for adoption. I love animals. All of them. There's so much people dont think about, or know when impulsively buying even fish.. Most are receptive, some are not. The ones that listen- half the time they do the right thing and get the humane options, the other half they they decide against getting a fish.. Bettas especially. Unfortunately most of the time, when people come in to buy stuff for their new pets, they already have them. One lady tried to buy a critter carrier for baby beardies or crickets.. as a home... for her hamster. She didn't want to spend anymore money on a proper home, they already had it. I talked her into at LEAST buying a 20 gallon tank... and while I know that's not enough I advised her to check for larger enclosures on Facebook market place, and if she found one that was safe and large enough, we'd happily return her purchase. I still dont feel she cared enough at all.. I hope that hamster is ok.
