MidWest Hamster Nation Hamster Home (comes in Jumbo or Large)
Both sizes include a 11.75in exercise wheel and 1/2in bar spacing. The Jumbo is a decent size for a barred cage at 676 and even though 417 is a bit smaller than what most of us think as a minimum, I'm still very happy to see bigger cages coming into the stores! Most of the critterjails are 300 sq in or less and the bigger ones have too big of spacing between the bars to be suitable for hamsters. Better odds that someone will buy a more spacious cage and the wheel is large enough for most hamsters. I also like their slogan "bigger is better

NativeCritter Sahara Cage by Exotic Nutrition
It's an acrylic cage with three clear sides and it opens from the top. They are clear, it's got a peel off protector in this picture. I couldn't see the top so I'm not sure about the airflow.
Large Cage:
L: 40in, W: 20in, H: 21in
800 sq in of floor space
Small Cage:
L: 32in, W: 16in, H: 18in
512 sq in of floor space
While these aren't the biggest cages as we all know, they are some of the biggest cages I've seen in stores! Especially the 676 sq in MidWest and 800 sq in Sahara. These are great starter cages, imo. The more accessible, the more people will start using larger cages.
Also, Exotic Nutrition has a new line of products for their cages, very similar to Nite Angel products. The product descriptions all say they are made from kiln-dried birch.
A NativeCritter Wheel Stand that fits Exotic Nutrition wheels. It's flat so it could also double as a platform for other things. One thing that is so interesting to me, is that the legs twist in with a screw, rather than fitting wood into wood. I think this will be very useful, in breaking down and storing them.
Available in two sizes:
Small: 10.5 x 5 x 0.5 inches
Large: 12 x 6 x 0.5 inches
A NativeCritter Corner Riser Platform that comes with two sizes of legs, 5.5in and 8in. The legs screw in the same as the other platform.
A NativeCritter Underground Cave that measures 16 x 4 x 6 inches with a 2.5 in hole, which is plenty big enough for Syrian or Dwarf. This is similar to the Nite Angel tunnel that open on the sides.
A NativeCritter Acrylic Sand Bath comes in three shapes, Large, Small, and Corner. I think it's cool how the Large has two lids, so you can take one off or leave them on for some privacy. There's also dye free NativeCritter Desert Sand, obviously I can't vouch for the dustiness but from the outside of the bag it looks similar to other reptile sands. No added minerals.
Small Acrylic Bath: 6 x 4 x 2 in
Large Acrylic Bath: 8 x 6 x 3 in
Corner Acrylic Bath: 5 x 5 x 3 in
