Tesco hamster cage £2.47

needanewjob

Picked one of these up last night from Burnley store for £2.37. Erected it and transferred hammy last night. This morning the two platforms had come undone off the bars. Poor hammy! Might be going on Ebay....

i have the savic hamster heaven cage (£100) and even my hamster is pretty big in that and it seems to be about 10 times as big as the one in the link.

That's the cage I have, I didn't pay that for it though.:)

no way would i pay £100 for the savic one. we got ours from pets at home for £50 a couple of years back. Its probably about 3-4 times as big.

I haven't had Hamsters for a while but when I did I built them a cage paradise using a cheap basic cage like in the original post.

I took 3 decent sized storage boxes and the commercial cage. I replaced the plastic lids with mesh, stacked 2 boxes on-top of each other, the commercial cage on-top of the other and placed them side by side to make a block of 4 and made holes and connected with rotastak tubes. With a cheap commercial cage I'm guessing this probably cost me £20-25 max

I did have the rotastak cages but even with a huge hamster mansion set up it never seemed big enough for a Syrian

For those who want to do the same, the Hamster Hideout forum links to a guide on how to do it ^.^

The Savic Hamster Heaven a great cage (I have one) - it is very big (80cm width) and has plenty of room for my syrian hamster to run around in.

I've always quite fancied having a hamster but sadly I think my cats would like it even more.

Silent Spinners are the best choice. But it is important to create a a natural hamster environment.
So be careful in case of choosing rotastak.

On a note about size of cages - I hate the thought of my hammy being stuck in her cage all day, got one of those metal pens and leave her door open and so she can come out of her cage whenever she pleases, and she's got lots of lovely toys to play with in her 'garden'. http://www.petsathome.com/shop/play-pen-for-hamsters-by-s.a.m.-15951 im sure it could be found cheaper elsewhere though....

LOL, I put mine on eBay on Sunday because our hammy went to heaven a while back, I found it in the cupboard while having a clearout. For the life of me I wondered why it has a stupid amount of watchers for what it is!! Your post will be why then. :T

ETA to say that I now realise that this thread was from Jan and not Feb. I guess the poster above works for Silent Spinner and has spammed the thread and this is how I found it.
