5.0 out of 5 stars Works for Syrian hamsters
Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2023
First of all, this product appears to be well-made out of a very soft cloth material. Basically it is a half-tube in shape that wraps around your head to put your animal in. I was skeptical that this would work for our Syrian hamster, given that they are always on the move and I thought that he might not tolerate being in the carrier. To my surprise, my hamster seemed to enjoy being in the soft material. He walked around the carrier from front to back if I left him alone, but I could also gently hold him in the front part of it so that he didn't wander off to the back. He stuck his head out of the edge a couple of times, so you have to be vigilant that they don't fall out, but, again, that was to be expected, given how curious hamsters are. Despite all of that, I was able to walk halfway around the block with the hamster in the carrier with no problems. I think this carrier would be useful if you want to go out and about with your hamster, want to get him some out of cage time while still doing other activities, like working on the computer or reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great for my 8 month old kitten.

The Critter Cuddler Small Animal Carrier works great for our 8 month old kitten. He was found at 2 weeks old alone in a field and was then hand raised and bottle fed by a volunteer with a cat rescue group. We got him at about 8 weeks. Even now at 8 months, he wants to be cuddled and carried around. It isn’t always convenient or possible to carry him. We got the Critter Cuddler and put him in it and he is quite happy to ride in it. And we are able to always have one hand free, and often both hands free.

The first time he rode in the carrier he nearly fell asleep. I estimate he’s about 6lbs, maybe a bit more. He can get a bit heavy, but that’s a small price to pay to make him happy and be able to do things. Critter Cuddler is a hit at our house. I just hope we can carry him in it for a while, before he gets too heavy.

Update: He’s gotten so used to his Cuddler that he falls asleep in it now. I posted a photo of him asleep. He loves it. He’s trying to figure out how to get in it when we put it on and hold it open to him, but he still needs assistance getting in. What a great invention for pets who need a little comfort.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for bonding with my shy guinea pigs
Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2023
Critter cuddler- Love it! Great for bonding with my shy guinea pigs who don't like to be held in my arms. Chia seemed very relaxed since she was wrapped up cozy in the fleece.

It does a good job of keeping her from climbing out because of the elastic in the design. I would not recommend using it while walking with a shy small animal as it will swing them with each step and may scare them.

I do wish it had some sort of lining on the inside to soak up urine, plus the raw seams are unusual for what the price (and the rest of the construction) is.

Bottom line: Overall very fun, I like using it.

3.0 out of 5 stars I Thought She Would Be Crazy About This
Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2023
I got this for my sister, who has Chihuahuas, cats, and rabbits. I've been trying to get info from her on what her experience with this cuddler has been, but she has put me off, every time I asked her. Finally she told me that she had not used it, and it did not appeal to her. I don't get it, as she and her partner live in a house full of pets, all of them quite small, including a miniature Chihuahua, which sounds like it would be perfect for this cuddler. She says she might try it when the weather is better for walking, but I am thinking that if she does not like it by now, she is probably not going to bother with it ever. I've read a lot of what other reviewers have written, and I am so disappointed my sis did not have the great positive experience the other pet people had, but unfortunately, this is the only report I got from her. Like I said, I hate having the only negative report, especially since it took so long to get her to say anything, and then her reaction was given without any details. I expected this to have been en enthusiastically received and enjoyed gift...oh well the folks you love can sometimes be a real mystery. I wish I had sent this to my sister with the hamsters, but now I am a little wary of this as a gift.

2.0 out of 5 stars Overpriced and not functional.
Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2023
For the price I would imagine this carrier would be a lot more durable but it’s basically a circular fleece blanket. If you have an animal that weighs more than 2 pounds, it puts a lot of pressure around your neck with nothing else that supports the weight. It’s very strange. Not impressed at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars My two baby rats love this
Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2023
My two baby rats love this neck carrier! I open the cage and they usually don't hesitate to hop right in. They'll sleep and play in there for hours. Both the rats and I enjoy sharing our warmth together through this carrier when it's cold outside.

The downside is that the rats do sometimes poop and pee in there when in there for a long period of time (1+ hour), and it becomes smelly real quick, especially since the carrier sits right below the face. Washing it often is necessary. But that's something the rats and I have to work on, and isn't a problem with the neck carrier.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it and so does the cat!
Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2023
I am able to use this to hold my cat while I am trying to be somewhat hands free while sitting down. I hold on to her while walking around as I don't want to take the chance of her falling out. She ended up burrowing her head into this and falling asleep while I was helping my son take his shower! She gives it the seal of approval!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Cuddle Bonding Pouch
Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2023
This pouch is everything I hoped it would be. It’s the perfect sling carrier for all your small critters. It works well for bearded dragons, rats, ferrets, sugar, gliders, guinea pigs, and more. It’s a great way to bond with your pet while doing a few things around the house, sitting down, watching TV, working on the computer or even taking a walk. The material is super soft, 100% please and it’s a machine washable.

We’ve tried it with our sugar gliders, as well as our guinea pigs and it’s a hit for all. They love it and we love it.
