A mansion for a Dwarf Hamster!
My Daughter recently got a baby Dwarf Hamster and wanted to get him a Rotastak cage as the more traditional cage with bars is unsuitable as they can squeeze themselves out for between them. She decided on this model and it is just great for little Mikki. As he is so tiny (he's smaller than my thumb! so cute!) the cage is made up on the same level as he cant climb up the tubes but we put the tunnel the same but just on the level and now he can zoom (and he does!) between the 2 units, we will eventually get a ladder to reach the little bedroom above the round unit. The larger unit is perfect to put a deep layer of shaving in so he can tunnel under it. the only thing I don't like about the Rotastak range are the water bottles as they all seem to leak and little Mikki seems to have trouble drinking from it as does our Syrian Hamster who has his own Rotastak Rotastak Mission Pod
The Rotastak range has improved...
Best Cage EVER
I have owned at least 1 hamster at a time for the past 14 years, so have been through many, many cages. I can tell you that this cage is by far THE best (or any fromt he Rotastak range). A bit annoying to put tubes together the first time but you never have to do it again after it's set up, so it's not a problem. It's easy to clean out, to wash, you can add parts to it, buy more, and fab size home for a hammie. Tubes are insinctive for the hammies as they burrow in the wild, so they love it. They have pink cages and wheels to add on, the loft extension you can buy is awesome too! =)
Great home for single gerbil
We got our first gerbil just after xmas (a rescue one that had been on her own for a while in the shop) and this has proved very good for her so far.
Pros: with enough sawdust she loves burying everything!; has enough space for one (would not recommend for 2 unless buying additonal pods & tubes), she can navigate easily in the tubes, she has been digging on the plastic but shows no immediate signs of wear so will last a while I suspect; easy to lift in tact and we are using it to get her out into the bath for a run around while we clean it out;
Cons: the instructions are not full proof so took some time to construct (no more than 45 mins though); did not come with enough gnaw-proof rings for the tubes so have to purchase 2 more; the plastic food bowl is redundant; still trying to find something to put in the smallest pod to enourage her to explore this bit more; water bottle could be better placed as she is constantly burying it (despite us moving the food bowl to the...
