Default Re: Remind me why they need massive mansion cages???

Well done! The lids look very professional

There are a number of bottle stand ideas about - I can never find them lol. I think a plastic water bottle is one idea - like mineral water bottle. cut the top off so you just have the straight sided bottom 3/4 of the bottle left, put some stones in the bottom to weight it down - make a hole in the front - bottle sits inside bottle with spout through hole.

Some people also just use industrial velcro and stick the bottle to the side of the tank. You can buy wood bottle holders - they tend to be a bit expensive though. The Living World one is very tall and only holds their glass bottles (I didn't get on with their bottle and it was big and heavy). Rodipet make a nice one but I found it wasn't good sitting on top of deepish substrate. Good for on sitting on top of a house or shelf though.

I haven't heard of hamsters being freaked out by the glass floor - just put loads of substrate in
