In general, I really like SAM products for my large teddy bear hamster. This cage comes with an automatic feeder though and I have found those to be a problem as more food doesn't always flow through "automatically" once he has finished the food he can reach, so the hamster can end up going hungry. Thus, the one caution I would issue with this cage is if you use the automatic feeder be sure your hamster is actually getting enough food. I supplement my automatic feeder with an extra food dish in my hamster's cage for safety sake. It's normal for a hamster to store extra food in his cage. This feeder shouldn't be used as a way to reduce the amount of a food a hamster gets so much that he doesn't store food.
