Review 1 of 2
Place Purchased: 2nd hand from ebay
Price: £10
Score: 10/10
This is a really good accommodation for small/Houdini or elderly and inactive mice as it eliminates drafts, but also the possibility of escape through bars.
The glass is very strong and chip-resistant and easy to clean. However the tank is very large and heavy and there can be a lot of wasted height to the tank as levels are not built in. I used sucker hooks bought from a hardware store to hang a lightweight custom made level, and hammocks too, so it’s possible to use the whole space.
Unfortunately, they almost never come with a mouse-proof lid, but I found it cheap and easy to make one that sits on the inside ledge, an inch or so below the top of the tank.
Luckily, the height means that you can pile the bedding high and encourage natural burrowing behaviour.
In my opinion though, I wouldn’t say this cage was suitable for lively young mice as it doesn’t allow for so much climbing and exercise as a barred cage. Also, drinking bottle and wheels have to be bought with a sucker fixing or else free-standing which can sometimes be more pricey or difficult.
I would give this 10 out of 10 though, and would definitely buy another second hand.

Review 2 of 2
Place Purchased: Got both off my dad who got them from a pet shop.
Price: -
Score: 7/10
Good points:
~ Viewable from all sides
~ Can house many mice depending on size
~ Keep out drafts.
Bad Points
~ Hard to clean
~ Not very moveable
~ Bad Ventilation.
Summary:
In all I think they they are good but have many bad points, Which is why I didn’t find this a suitable enclosure for my mice. You have to make your own lid for the top or you can buy screens that fit over them to stop the mice escaping.
