So, for most of the time, I've been pretty set on getting the Detolf cage because it seemed that you get more for your money and is a popular cage.

However, I've recently discovered the Alexander Small Pet Cage which is around 800sq inches. This cage is £70 and the Detolf is £55.

I'm just after others experiences with both cages because keep in mind I'm not very handy in DIY and for the Detolf will need to also buy: sealant, wood, mesh, staple gun, staples and duct tape. As the Detolf is not intended for a hamster cage I'm worried more problems will occur with it but I'm also aware that bar cages generate more noise. With the Alexander cage, I can't get as much bedding in as the Detolf but I don't think I can fit a 12inch wheel for a Syrian. Also, I'm aware that the Detolf is a lot harder to set up and the Alexander will be a lot easier because it's intended as a small pet cage.
