Priroda Nyura cage, 44×27×59 cm is a brown cage for small pet rodents from the Ukrainian brand Priroda. It has three levels connected by ladders and a cosy house inside. Two doors — one on the side and one on top — let you reach your pet at any time, whether it's resting below or playing on the upper levels. Secure latches stop the animal opening the doors itself. The pull-out litter tray can be removed and washed without taking the whole cage apart. The base and tray are made of virgin polypropylene, which is safe for animals, doesn't absorb odours and washes well. The bars are steel wire. Included are three ladders and a hamster house.
Why a hamster needs levels
According to the manufacturer, rodents need exercise: with too little activity and plenty of food they become obese, which shortens their lives. Levels and ladders let a hamster climb, explore and move even in a small cage. More on care in hamster care and feeding.

Which rodents it suits by size
The manufacturer describes it as suitable for hamsters and rats. With a 44×27 cm floor, it best suits dwarf hamsters, mice and gerbils. Syrian hamsters, and rats even more so, need more floor space, so for them treat this cage as temporary or supplement it with daily time out in a safe area.
What to add
A running wheel of the right diameter — the main way a hamster exercises. A water bottle, food bowl, bedding and nesting material. For wearing down teeth — fruit-tree twigs and chew toys. For food, see Vitapol Karmeo for hamsters or Special One for hamsters.
Setting up the cage
Add a thick layer of soft bedding to the floor — hamsters love to dig. Put the house in a quiet corner and the wheel on the bottom level so it doesn't block the way. Attach the water bottle to the bars at a comfortable height. Use the upper levels as rest and lookout spots.
Care
The pull-out tray can be removed and washed without dismantling the cage, which saves time. Remove damp bedding from the toilet corner every few days and do a full change every week or two. Don't disturb the hamster's food stash more than necessary — just check for spoiled food.
Safety
Secure latches on both doors stop the animal getting out on its own. Check regularly that the doors are firmly closed after feeding and cleaning and that no bars are bent. Dwarf hamsters with small heads shouldn't be left any gaps they could squeeze through. If your hamster chews the bars, give it more chew toys.
Where to put it
Place the cage somewhere quiet, away from draughts and direct sun. Hamsters are active at night and can be noisy, so a bedroom isn't the best choice. Keep it away from other pets that might frighten the rodent.
Who it suits
Owners of dwarf hamsters and other small rodents who want a compact three-level cage with a house, two doors and a pull-out tray. More cages are in the rodent cages and carriers section.
Verdict
The Priroda Nyura is a compact 44×27×59 cm cage with three levels, ladders, a house, two doors and a pull-out polypropylene tray. The downsides are that the floor area is small for rats and large hamsters, and you'll need to buy a wheel, water bottle and food bowl.
