Unboxing Hamster Cage Review | Niteangel Glass Pet Cage

Rejoice fellow Hamster, Gerbil and Mice owners in America who struggle to find an appropriate cage. There is now a newly available enclosure for your beloved pets thanks to the amazing people behind the brand Niteangel. Watch as i unbox this appropriately sized enclosure and see if it's worth looking into. Is it better than a 40 gal breeder tank or is it too simple and not worth the price tag? Either way i'll be hanging onto this enclosure in the end.

i wish nice cages weren’t so expensive):

[@pixie8375]

piper they arent. Bin cages and the ikea detolf is a thing.

[@aidehns]

piper The detolf is only $60 and is glass, you will need to put a roof though so that your hamster won’t escape. I think it’s like similar to an 80-90 gallon, but I could be wrong.

[@deadporium]

i don’t have the room for a detolf right now. i’m moving soon so i have nowhere to put something that big

[@aidehns]

piper And that’s ok, just saying that something like that isn’t super expensive (plus it’s more long than thick, so it isn’t a huge thingy). Whether or not you can actually fit it is something to keep in mind, but there are still some good alternatives like bin cages, as said below my original comment, and they are like $20, just cut out a place for mesh, which mesh usually isn’t super expensive. :)

[@HeyItzRosie]

You can buy an Ikea Detolf for $60 and it’s very large (I think 800 square inches) or you can buy a large plastic bin and make it into a bin cage. There are plenty of options for affordable hamster habitats.

[@BradleyBoy]

We've been spending most our lives trying to find the hamster paradise

[@Yeewen88]

Ikea detolf? Super large bin cage? 40 gallon and above breeder?

[@semiautomatic.companion]

Sa Yeewen the 40 gallons in a bin doesn’t really work, since they’re talking about the entire inside not the floor space. 600+ square inches?

[@Yeewen88]

Neko I mean a fourth gallon plus fish tank u can set whatever u want inside and yah u have over 600sq inches of floorspace

[@neilaxx_6820]

I really do like the look of this tank Can’t wait to see it set up

[@stephanies4060]

it's the set up she posted the vid before this

[@jessicahorning5264]

That is COCO

[@TrystaTaylor]

I would say it’s a great cage it has an excellent look and it seems very secure. Very expensive though compared to how much I paid for my detolf.

[@TrystaTaylor]

@Maja S. omg this was a year ago- thank you for bringing me back to this ❤️ and my little boy is still living happy and healthy in his detolf 🥺and yes I agree

[@catedubill4067]

“No guinea pigs, chinchillas, cHiHuAhUa” I diedddd 😂

[@kattranger]

Looks like, whoever this company is, just remodeled the National Geographic Reptile enclosures. Everything is the same other than having sliding doors. Even has the removable slots in the top mesh for cable management. Glad that they give you the option for mesh or glass, knowing that the small pets will probably chew it.

[@katietownend4833]

Munchie please create your own brand of hamster cages! That would be amazing I would definitely buy!

[@lj_remote_theory_x6085]

Omg ikr

Me when I get a job: "YOU CAN'T STOP ME NOW MOTHER! MUA HA HA!"

[@luxisursurpseies8649]

You really know when you loves hamsters that seeing a proper cage, a beautiful one at that, makes it feel like seeing water after so long without it. This is what makes me happy in life 😂

[@mirai8973]

0:32 That reaction though.😂 Finally some good news for the hamster community.

[@McChicken03]

“Look, I can fit.” Munchie, you are so wholesome.

[@derpydoggo1939]

Finally someone selling a decent cage which isn't torturing the hamster!

[@stellarlunar87]

Well I would sure hope they aren't torching hamsters

[@HeyItzRosie]

But It’s so much money and you can easily buy an Ikea Detolf which is bigger and cheaper. Or you can make a bin cage which is very cheap and easy... It’s a nice hamster habitat though.

[@Patchwork_Dragon]

-Torturing-

[@ellarutz]

@@stellarlunar87 I think they meant as in, the cage isn't suitable and therefore it is hurting the hamster lol

[@haydenhemphill8375]

@@HeyItzRosie A detolf may be bigger but it isnt wide so it isnt ideal for syrians

Finally a company has caught on and created an appropriate cage. Hooray ☺️👍🏻⭐️💕

all i kept thinking of throughout the entire video was “exo terra”. could have been cheaper too, great video though! can’t wait to see it all set up!

[@MunchiesPlace]

It was set up in the Halloween theme video.

[@carolienwelgraaf9892]

Am I the only one who has Christmas vibes when seeing this video? Like if you have that to😋😂

[@vic5836]

By the looks of it, this cage could also possibly be good for certain reptiles so that's cool! I love when enclosures have versatility :)

[@MunchiesPlace]

Yeah it was weird to see "water level" on it which I assumed was for reptiles.

[@poagy]

I know a juvenile beardie would absolutely love the cage

[@rainbow_duck1481]

I wish all hamster cages were like this!

Not many people would buy a $200 cage for their hamster. I know I wouldn’t.

Awesome tank!

[@kwiggy5091]

This is a reptile terrarium, which I LOVE for hamsters! I just built two Zen Habitat enclosures and love them. When I have space for another set, I want to get a pair for my hamster and my mouse. It has an optional substrate shield which would be perfect. You could also use Exo Terra habitats! Sometimes you find them used online for super cheap. 😍

[@NewHorizonsTravel]

[@momosquad23]

I like how this looks but I recently got a prevue 528 after seeing your video. My little girl seems to like it so far so I'm happy with it.

[@hammycats6919]

I love it. I am after a tank style for my Robo. 🤩

[@anileaf7267]

I am so happy that most cages in the uk are good sized.

[@TuberoseKisser]

When it comes to 40 gallons, what I do is put it on the side, more floor space.

[@terrih7165]

What do you put as cover? (So bedding doesn't fall out.) I'm interested!

[@allisonmarie9070]

Terri H i think they mean they put it on its back? idk

[@frog4701]

Terri H I use a 40gb for one of my geckos and I just used cardboard for the first few weeks until I got the dimensions of the tank and got glass cut to silicone in place.

[@mar2334]

40g measure 36x18x18... putting it on it’s side wouldn’t make a difference.

[@frog4701]

Mars 10839 40g breeders are basically two 20g longs stacked on top of each other. Turning it on it’s side would make it have a lot more floor space.

[@Alexis-bs7ep]

I can't believe we actually got an appropriate cage! (is that sad? lol) And it's actually labeled for the right animals? I'm hecking amazed.

[@heyimsosorry902]

I just bought brand new cages and wow I wish I saw this video before because now I really want this cage

[@NurrrAyeshahh]

Youre the first youtuber to review this cage ! hehe .. i dont see it anywhere else 😅

[@merlinhamsters668]

Happily, I live in Europe in this situation because here we had these kinds of cages for a while now and cheaper as well. I like the cage :)

[@BankruptMonkey]

I don't care that it's expensive, it's the only store bought cage that is really appropriate AND made of durable materials, and it's pretty eco friendly since there's no stupid plastic. This is the best purpose made cage upgrade to a bin cage and I love it!

[@fuggleradventures5820]

OMG That is so perfect for my gerbils I have been looking for a new enclosure since my current one is really old and needs replacing

[@thescratkid7472]

Love your hair

[@chantellecawthorne]

Your hair really suits you !

[@ysab8lle]

that is such an amazing tank, if only i could afford it 🥺

[@servicedogchopper7613]

Wow! That is so nice to see approrpate sized Hamsters, gerbil, and mice cages! Its nice to see. It reminds me of a snake cage because of the lock but its so nice and you can make suction cup ledges and use hanging toys and ropes and all sorts of stuff. Ohhh, that answers where you got that Halloween themed cage from. Really nice! But would love to see ledges and stuff using the tall space that it has but either way, it gives the small animal more then enough room on the floor. I would like to see the price come down though. I believe one of the Tiny Tales or those types of cages are like $20 to maybe $50 at most. A 20 gal breeder is way cheaper. And a DIY bin even cheaper. I understand that this has a siding door on the side and there are perks to this but it would be nice to see the price come down to maybe $100 to $150. So that the rest of us can enjoy this cage. At its current price point, many of us can't afford it.

[@c.freely6027]

I just bought this gorgeous cage from Amazon, ALEKO WHC001 Deluxe Fir Wood 3-Tier Hamster Cage 44 x 24 x 23 Inches. My hammie loves it! I'd love to see you review it. You are the hamster guru after all :)

[@vic5836]

Cool cage, but I'm gonna stick to building my own for now since I find it more cost-effective. My cages are over 1000sq inches and 880 sq inches and they cost me under $100. But for someone unable to build their own or just doesn't want to, amazing option!

That cage looks fresh AF. I wish it was a bit cheaper, but damn

[@littlestars7537]

Love these cages! Hammylux had one for her past hamster patch and it looked really nice!

[@MunchiesPlace]

That was a custom acrylic tank that opens instead of sliding doors. This is different than that because of materials (it's glass) and that this tank is cheaper. The one she got is priced 350-450 depending on which size you get. Shipping for those on eBay cost so much due to not being able to disassemble it.

[@littlestars7537]

Munchie's Place Yes that sounds very expensive! 😱 Thanks for replying to my comment! 💕I love your channel so much💕 I want to rescue hammys when I’m older aswell Xx

[@olivia-fi7ms]

im buying this right now!!

[@Zerg435]

Best cage ever.

[@reptilesfishandmore]

cage remind me a lot of the Zen Habitat enclosure for reptiles. It's assembled in a similar way and looks similar too! this is a game changer for small rodent pets! One thing I would say is that it's too bad there are no tiny handles or something for the doors. You'll have to always touch the glass to slide it open and leave smudges and prints. Maybe tiny handles can be silicone on if someone wanted too.

[@mar2334]

Why not just buy an Exo Terra? Would’ve saved a lot of money.

[@ShinesKitten]

lol thats what i said. can get a used one the same size for like 100$ or less

[@theXxgajxX]

I got one new 160.... If your a smart shopper you can get it even cheaper. This cage is super over priced in my opinion

[@theXxgajxX]

nevaeh peanut Petsmart always has it on sale.

[@theXxgajxX]

nevaeh peanut ...I got my tank from Petsmart and I see them there every week so it must be just your store

So I like your videos I just got a syrian again after a real long time (uk) he’s called Jojo, I especially love the videos where you rip into those ridiculous child cages based on funfairs and stuff. Only thing is I’d like to see more videos of the hammys and stuff that you rescue rather than just talking and that. Hammys are cute! I want more hammy air time plz

[@claritey]

I ordered a 18x18x24 terrarium from Petco for my praying mantis but when the box arrived I opened it to find a million glass shards. Why? Because the genius who packed the box set this all GLASS terrarium into a box with no padding of any kind on the bottom, the glass side was directly touching the bottom of the box! The only attempt to prepare for shipping was a small air pillow set on top. Luckily I was able to exchange the broken one for a new one at the local branch, no return shipping involved.

[@jenobi7266]

If you don’t want to spend a lot on large cages, build them yourself! Bonus if you have a carpenter friend! They can help you build one, it’ll take just a couple of hours! Bonus bonus; ask them if they’re able to take materials (planks, boards, etc) from work, most of the time, they can! It’ll just save you that much more money on a beautiful cage you can build yourself! You can easily get plexiglass from most hardware stores, too.
