Default Re: My new Robo - whats going on?Is this normal? Help for new owner please

Thank you guys for your kind comments and advice.

The link to the cage is here:

I believe they also sell it on Amazon. It is a nice cage, but it has 2 big minuses. Firstly - the doors/gate are very easily openable (climbing hamster would easily pop them open) so extra security measure is required. Any kind of clips or plastic tie will do. I use plastic tie on the lower door when I go out, but Kora doesn't seem to be interested in climbing so far.
The second minus is that one bar on the top is a little bit wider (I think its 1 cm on the top of the top) and again I think a small climbing hamster could possibly squeeze out. Again luckily Kora is not interested in climbing whatsoever for now.

Taking both of those risks into consideration before I bought the cage I also have a prepared 'emergency' bin cage, in case If she would attempt escape/ or something else unforeseen would happen. Also, the company produces a couple of 'Gerbilarium cages' I think this is the only suitable one for hamster (since other have too many levels/ would be too big of the drop fro hamster in case of the fall) but when they sent us a cage they sent us a wrong shelf - twice! On the third time, they sent us all possible shelves to the cages they do and finally, there was a right one among them. Very annoying!

Because of that reasons as well I am worried that when I come home she might not be in the cage, therefore I have to look for her in the bedding for multiple minutes and sometimes, unfortunately, wake her up, both in the morning and evening.

What I also consider the great cage is this:

Unfortunately, it's very expensive.
