Thanks everyone, you are killing me with your bargains
Is the zoozone the cheapest of that type of cage?
She has cats and they obviously will not be allowed in the same room as the hamster but she wants to be extra cautious so if she got that cage and meshed the lid it should be cat proof. This is why barred cages are out.
Oh I had only recently heard of Jolleys, the nearest one is 40mins drive away, so prob not worth it as can get for £3 more online with free delivery.
I have just done the longest email for my friend with cheap, middle and expensive options for cages, wheels, food, bedding etc. i've got loads of bits and bobs she can have from me if she wants and said can use recycling for lots of things.
