Puzzle time

In the end, i did not bring Chloe to the doctor. Firstly, her pee was back to normal and all else seems fine. Secondly, when i wanted to make an appointment, the website couldn't be display. I took it as a sign that she would be fine. Thirdly, when i was clearing things out from her cage today, i saw a big chunk of cardboard went missing. She must have been biting them as there were nibbling marks. The box was pink. I guessed it all tallies now. Bad hammie, chewing cardboard when not supposed too. She has chew toys. Probably junk food is more appetising. No more cardboard box for her.

On Saturday, i got her Superpet Puzzle Playground 60 pcs from the Little Flower Pet Shop at Serangoon North. It cost me about $17 - $18. About 4 bucks cheaper than Pet Lovers' Center. Below is my review

How to fix the puzzle? Is it difficult?

For the frame and and the panel, one just need to push the panel in and make sure that the sides are 'locked' in. It does not fall apart easily. As the frames, one just need to ensures that their sides matches with one another and push the sides inwards.  All of my pieces tally. Skill is needed here. However, much of brute force is needed to connect the tunnels with the connectors. So this is the hardest part for me. The next hardest part is executing the finishing move. As force is exerted on the final puzzle to piece in, other pieces may fall off.  It took 2 person 20 minutes to complete the below.

Ta-da! 25 cm in length

Can it support my hamster?

If every piece is locked in, it is not filmsy at all. I can take out the structure without my syrian hamster falling off. My hamster is still pretty silm. It can fit into the tubes. Even if she grows bigger, she still can crawl through them. However, for super syrians, they may get stuck in it.

How about cleaning?

I find dismantling the structure more difficult than putting the pieces together. My hamster carries food inside and thus food get stuck in the playhouse. It can be quite hard to remove them. Eventually, the whole structure needs to be tear down in order to disinfect it. 

From a hamster perspective:

Chloe loves it so much. Upon placing the new toy in her cage, she seems to have decided in an instant that it would be her new home. Unlike Habitrail add-ons, the puzzle playground are pretty well ventilated. You can change the direction of the entrance or add in a new block and the hamster will think that it is a whole new thing. At least, that's for my silly hamster.

Her new hideout

Overall rating: 8/10 

Things to note:
Hamster may bite the structure or pee in it.
It has quite a strong plastic smell. I've washed it before putting the puzzle playground in her cage.
