Hello, My name is Ren and i have recently got a new russian dwarf hamster named Winston. He is currently in a cage that he seems fine in (no bar chewing or climbing) but is definitely too small and i want to upgrade ASAP.

I have been looking at different options online and feel that i definitely want to go with something that is glass so we can see him playing as well as feel happy that he is not going to squeeze through the bars etc. The only problem is that finding anything of a suitable size online that delivers to Scotland seems to be an issue.

I have been keeping my eye out for any 2nd hand aquariums going on gumtree etc but was hoping people on this could share their cages/setups so i could have a look? Or even just the name o the cage and the rough dimensions? Anything you could share would be greatly appreciated.

if it comes to it i can get an ikea detolf but unfortunately this could not be until December as ikea is not near me and 'unessential' travel is not permitted with the pandemic.

Anyway, would love to see your cages and setups!
