I purchased this yesterday on clearance at Petco. For $10 a steal but regular price $40 not so much. Used the button on the front today to hold the door up while I put my pet in. As soon as I tried to unbuckle it the whole button on the screen came off. Not worth $40, invest in better quality for that price.

Terrible for hamsters. Mine ate through the netting in minutes flat

Returned after first use. Zippers are crap and broke off the track. So I could not contain my pet.

It's a decent product and seems fairly durable, but feels a little overpriced for how tiny it is. Unfortunately, my Djungarian hamster's teeth were just small enough that she could wedge them in the mesh and start chewing. It didn't last more than ten minutes before she started making holes. Luckily my vet was nearby, but I definitely wouldn't recommend leaving a hamster unattended in this carrier while you get ready to leave for the vet like you can do with cats and dogs. I didn't like the hard plastic insert that was in the carrier, but I'm guessing it was to protect the bottom from being peed on or something. I used nesting fluff to get her off the plastic and give her something cozy she could hide in if she wanted. I don't know how welll this carrier would do for larger hamsters, but I would definitely avoid it with your dwarf hamster.
