Chik Hamster Crystal Castle

Hamster cage with the dimensions 23*17*32cm

The Chik Hamster Crystal Castle is a popular multi-level, transparent hamster habitat available in the Kenyan market. It is often branded under the “Chicos” or “Chik” label and is favored for its aesthetic “castle” design and comprehensive accessory kit.

Product Features

• Transparent Design: The “Crystal” name refers to the clear acrylic or plastic walls that allow for a 360-degree view of your hamster, unlike traditional wire cages.

• Multi-Level Layout: Typically features two or three floors connected by ramps or colorful tubes, satisfying a hamster’s natural instinct to climb and explore.

• Fully Furnished: Most “Crystal Castle” kits come as a complete starter pack, including:

  • An exercise wheel (usually a silent or semi-silent model).

  • A small “castle” hideout/sleeping hut.

  • A clip-on water bottle and a food bowl.

  • Connecting tubes for external expansion.

• Ventilation: Includes a wire mesh top or side vents to ensure proper airflow while preventing escapes.

Ideal For:

• Small Hamster Breeds: Best suited for Dwarf Hamsters, Roborovskis, or Chinese Hamsters.

• Syrian Hamsters: While it can work for a young Syrian, fully grown Syrians may eventually require more floor space (square inches) than this vertical design provides.

Quick Setup & Care Tips

1. Assembly: Ensure the plastic interlocking tabs are fully clicked into place. If the tabs aren’t secure, the levels can shift.

2. Cleaning: Since the walls are transparent, fingerprints and water spots show up easily. Use a pet-safe cage cleaner or a simple vinegar-water solution and a microfiber cloth to keep it “crystal” clear.

3. Bedding Depth: Use a deep layer of bedding in the bottom tray to allow for burrowing, which reduces stress for the hamster.

Note: If you are planning to keep more than one hamster, remember that most breeds (especially Syrians) are solitary and will fight if kept in the same “castle.” For multiple hamsters, separate cages are always recommended.
