Hamster Cages and Containers for Small Animals of All Kinds

Shop Petco to find hamster, guinea pig, and other small animal cages built to allow your pets to remain engaged and entertained. When it comes to rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and other small animals, pet parents strive to promote health and longevity. They should also keep in mind that no two creatures are alike and what works as a hamster cage may not work as an effective guinea pig cage and vice-versa. Though small, these animals require physical and mental stimulation like any other pet. When left in their hamster or guinea pig cages for too long can be more prone to the negative effects of boredom.

Hamster cages with multiple levels can encourage more activity from your furry friend. Similarly, hamster cages with built in tunnels and exercise wheels can be a great way to keep your pet healthy and active. Guinea pig cages are often found with multi-level designs and can be created for indoor or outdoor use. Some pet parents choose a hutch-style guinea pig cage that looks great in the backyard while providing a safe, secure environment for small pets.

When it comes to small animal cages, many pet parents opt for small animal containment kits. These kits consist of guinea pig, hamster and small animal cages along with the supplies necessary for properly and comfortably housing a variety of pets. Some pet parents begin with one of these kits and then customize their hamster or guinea pig cages with their own accessories and toys. Browse the wide selection of cages and habitats available online at Petco and find the perfect home for your pet!
