 Great! May 7, 2007
My mice will go up in the loft to sleep and to get away when they are scared. It is a great little getaway.
 Habitrail MINI products are for DWARF hamsters and mice and work great for them March 24, 2007

When you buy habitrail products you need to understand there are two types - regular and mini. ALL habitrail mini products are specifically meant for mice and dwarf hamsters, NOTHING larger!!!
We care for 15 rescue roborovski dwarf hamsters and have 6 different habitats with tubes, toys, and hideaways for each one, so we can keep them separated by gender and compatability. All of the Hagen habitrail mini products work great for dwarf hamsters, since they are smaller to make it easier for the little folk to get around in them. The larger habitrails don't work well for dwarfs and mice - in fact, some of them don't work at all. They're just too big. So if you have the larger rodents such as Syrian hamsters or rats, get the larger habitrail products. It's easy to distinguish them - the larger ones are marked "habitrail" while the smaller ones are all marked "habitrail mini".
You also need to get used to using the connectors. The so-called instructions on Hagen products are pretty worthless. Make sure you have both tubes you're connecting set securely into the connector with the outer ring loose on the inner ring. Then while the two tubes you're connecting are both snuggly fit into the connector, turn the outer connector ring until the little grooves in the inner and outer rings are pretty much lined up with each other. It doesn't have to be exactly lined up but just close to each other. You'll notice that it takes quite a bit of strength to turn the outer ring to make it line up like this. But once you get the hang of it, the great part of these connectors is that they are foolproof. They absolutely will not come loose once they are tightened like this. The Crittertrail and SAM connectors aren't nearly as tight as these Habitrail connectors. So when I've used those kinds, our curious cats were able to knock the tubes loose so one of the high speed little Robos got out. It's quite a chore to retrieve one once they're loose. Can take up to two hours to lure them out of their hiding place with their favorite foods.
I highly recommend the Habitrail mini equipment for anyone with dwarf hamsters or mice. They love the smaller size and variety of different things to do in the whole mini line. There are a few of the mini items that I haven't found very useful and have discontinued using: the mushroom waterer is worthless - leaks all over the cage; and anything where they have to climb straight up like the mushroom house or the mini tower are pretty worthless, at least for dwarf hamsters because they can't climb straight up the tubes - they have to be angled for them to be able to climb.
 Only for use with dwarfs/mice/other systems January 12, 2007

The tubes for this are the same size at the opening as other tube makers, such as Crittertrail or S.A.M., but these Habitrail tubes narrow to less than an inch across very quickly. They cannot be used with Syrian hamsters, and I am honestly not sure if they will work with dwarf hamsters either.
The loft itself will attach to other tubing, however, making the product still usable.
