Syrian hamsters thrive in a habitat tailored to their size and activity level. Depending on the cage you choose, you can orient the Buddy Bubble - Medium either vertically or horizontally. We recommend pairing it with the Prevue Pet Products Deluxe Hamster Home, which fits seamlessly inside the Buddy Bubble. This flexible setup ensures optimal space, airflow, and interaction opportunities for your hamster.

Go Jurassic—Supersize Your Reptile’s Habitat Without Breaking the Bank!

Why settle for a cramped glass tank when you can create a prehistoric paradise for your reptile at a fraction of the cost? The Buddy Bubble provides more space, more flexibility, and more value than traditional reptile enclosures. The Small Buddy Bubble, at over 45 gallons, offers a spacious and budget-friendly alternative to standard reptile tanks. The Medium Buddy Bubble, at 120 gallons, is available for less than half the cost of most other 120-gallon reptile habitats. Meanwhile, the Large Buddy Bubble, at 340 gallons, delivers ten times the price-to-space value of similar-sized reptile enclosures, which can cost $1,500–$2,000. And for snake lovers, the Large Buddy Bubble stood vertically transforms into a walk-in jungle for ball pythons, king snakes, corn snakes, and other climbing reptiles, providing ample space for branching, coiling, and naturalistic movement—something rarely achievable with traditional enclosures!

Each Buddy Bubble size is adaptable to different reptile needs. The Small and Large Buddy Bubbles can be configured either vertically or horizontally, allowing owners to create grounded desert landscapes for bearded dragons and skinks or tall tropical enclosures for tree pythons and iguanas. The Medium Buddy Bubble is best suited for vertical setups when using heat and UVB lighting, ensuring an ideal basking and thermal gradient for reptiles that need controlled temperatures and exposure. To complete the perfect reptile habitat, the Buddy Bubble Reptile Kit is a must-have, providing a vent louver for airflow and containment, zipper clips to prevent escapes, a cord management system for heating and lighting accessories, an additional temperature and humidity sensor to monitor key zones, and an adjustable hanging cord for properly positioning heat lamps and UVB fixtures. This flexible setup allows you to customize the environment to match the specific needs of your ball python, bearded dragon, skink, gecko, or other reptilian companion. Whether you’re creating a lush rainforest, an arid desert, or a bioactive jungle, the Buddy Bubble gives your reptile room to roam, bask, and thrive—Jurassic-style!

Recommended Setup: Buddy Bubble - Large, Stood Vertically

Parrots need ample space to stretch their wings and play, and the Buddy Bubble - Large stood vertically delivers just that when paired with a flight cage. We recommend the Prevue Pet Products Wrought Iron Small & Medium Birds Flight Cage or the PawHut 54-in Extra Large Portable Rolling Iron Aviary Flight Bird Cage. These options ensure your feathered friend enjoys a comfortable, stimulating habitat.

Recommended Setup: The Sky is the Limit!

Small birds thrive in a safe, well-ventilated environment with plenty of room to stretch their wings. The Buddy Bubble - Small, paired with a Prevue Pet Products Square Top Bird Cage Starter Kit, makes for an ideal setup. If you need extra space, the Buddy Bubble - Medium works beautifully with the Prevue Pet Products Flight Bird Cage Kit, while the Buddy Bubble - Large, combined with the A&E Cage Company Dome Top Bird Cage, provides ample space for multi-bird households.

Or, with the addition of free-standing perches, food and water stations, pet-safe plants, and essential accessories like cuttlebones for beak maintenance, the sky’s the limit in designing your own spacious, customized aviary. Whether you’re looking to create a lush, plant-filled flight space or a bright, open play area for your birds to explore, the Buddy Bubble offers the freedom to build an enriching and stimulating environment for your feathered friends—without the restrictions of a traditional wire cage!

The Buddy Bubble is thoughtfully designed to balance the needs of pets and families, offering a healthier, cleaner, and more comfortable environment for everyone. With continuous airflow supported by a built-in air purifier, the Buddy Bubble ensures fresh air circulation to help prevent issues like stagnant air and excess humidity—important for the respiratory health of small pets.

For families with allergies or sensitivity to pet odors, the Buddy Bubble is a game-changer. By controlling allergens from pet food, dander, and waste, it allows you to enjoy the joys of pet ownership without compromising the air quality of your home. Plus, its clear PVC material ensures full visibility and easy access for cleaning, feeding, and interacting with your pet.

To maintain optimal performance, we strongly recommend adding the Battery Backup Power Supply (UPS) for uninterrupted operation during power outages, as well as enrolling in our Automatic HEPA Filter Replacement Program. This program ensures timely filter replacements to keep your Buddy Bubble running at peak efficiency. You’ll receive convenient reminders and discounts to make filter replacements hassle-free.
