It sounds great. The problem is they buy cheap to make money. They can buy those little cages wholesale for about £6 and sell them for £40. People coming in to get a hamster don’t want to spend a lot when the hamster costs peanuts.

But there are very good cages costing £50 and I wish pet stores would sell those. But they just want to sell and many buyers would be put off if they’re told they need a large 100cm Barney cage. Sadly many just buy on impulse.

I do think they should stock bigger wheels.
