Default Re: Pets at home cages

Whilst I agree with Velma and think that in certain circumstances a smaller cage may be more suitable, I would say that on a whole, I would still be recommending new hamster owners purchase larger cages. After all, how many of the average pet owners are going to want to buy several cages to make sure that their hamsters are in the right one for their needs? From what I've witnessed, many will just buy whichever is there at a price that they're happy to pay and the pet shops, who run their stores like many other shops will just stock what sells.

Times are changing. At one point a lot of pet shops were still selling open rung wheels as being suitable but you'll seldom see them these days because so many more people have been warned off of them. I expect to see the same happen with fluffy bedding eventually and with any luck they will stop selling the smallest cages and replace them with a greater range of larger cages.
