Problem

A suitable and safe living environment is crucial for small pets. The original cage, which was purchased for Meatball (the hamster) and a sibling, proved to be inadequate and unsafe due to its subpar quality and ill-conceived design. I decided to design a new cage.

Solution

Unlike the previous one, this habitat will cater to Meatball's specific needs, ensuring safety and ample space. Special attention is given to non-toxic materials, easy cleaning, and maintenance, creating a hygienic environment.
