He seems to have no issue with the vertical tube either, I was just told not to keep dwarf or robo hamsters in it because they can't climb.
I'll have a look at the other cages for future reference but won't be swapping out right now as I've only recently bought it. I'll just keep the single hamster for now and think about things in future with regards to breeding- I was going to have a third cage for keeping the pups with mum but I'll post-pone this and do some more research first and reconsider my cage choice. It was just ideal because of the furniture look and also how easy it is to clean as that's a flaw I've found with a lot of hamster cages being difficult or time consuming to clean.
Thanks again  |
Bless you for taking advice so well! Honestly I hate that the Omlet cage is so well marketed, it's so easy to get sucked in to the design. I do agree with Serendipity above that the IKEA detolf might be perfect for you. It's a great size and looks very sleek. It's not that expensive either.
Breeding tiny cute baby hams seems like a wonderful idea but yes, do have a read around. I find
Strong Brew Hamstery a great resource for things like this. And of course threads on this forum. The more I read about it the more I realise I'm just not cut out for it tbh.
