Looks quite nice :)

I always thought they were smaller! :D

[amyXlovesXhamstersX]

Ooh that looks really nice :D
Is that seriously advertised as a guinea pig cage though? >.<

[Silver]

I thought they were a lot smaller too :mad:. Thats a good price for the size of it.

Whats the measurement of the blue plastic bit at the bottom, how deep is it?.

Thanks xxx

[SnickersTheFirst]

I always thought it was tiny too. Won it on ebay this morning and Mum picked it up while I was at school. The lady runs a rescue so only kept the piggies in it for a few weeks while they were small. :)

The base is 4-5 inches deep. It thins out in the middle at 4 inches and the edges are 5 inches deep. :D

This now means I have a spare Hamster Heaven. :mad:

[Silver]

Thanks xxx

Looks great well done you for getting such a bargain :D

[SnickersTheFirst]

:mad: I'm very happy, it saved me around £15 and is in great condition.

[Gizmodo ^_^]

I Was planning on getting one for Hattie since my gabber is cracked
since its such a cheap price :D
think i might get one eventually
they look great

Oooh spare hamster heaven.... ;)

[SnickersTheFirst]

I've never had a spare cage before. :mad: I see why you guys find it so hard to keep them empty though!

What are the measurements of the Gabber, John? It'd be nice to compare as I was going to get the Gabber Rex but this was cheaper for me. :)

[Gizmodo ^_^]

72x43 i think :D
im going to have a spare cage soon :L
since im getting a ferplast Mary for Bronte, then moving Hattie into the gabber so ill have a spare mini duna ;P, its going to be hard to resist the tempation im sure lol..

[SnickersTheFirst]

Oh, not much difference then, thank you. :)

Hmm... I think 5 hamsters is quite a nice number - one more couldn't hurt. ;) hehe

Theirs one hamster id love to rescue ><, but im not allowed another one, and i dont know how id get the hamster from were it is :S

[stellanova1]

Thanks for this review, I remember asking ages ago about this cage, it really helps having a review on it and seeing it in use. :)

[fluffymunchkins]

oooh that looks lovely :D
Its nice to see something on this cage as i haven't seen it much!

[Pomegranate]

Looks quite nice :)

I always thought they were smaller! :D

Ditto; I was really pleasantly surprised by the measurements! Will have to keep that in mind if Dumpling's ZZ1 gets a hole eaten through it. :mad:

[SnickersTheFirst]

Being one level though it is a bit small for a Syrian but with Snickers' mobility slowing down I'd say she's okay in it. It'd be perfect for a little dwarf though! :D

[Gizmodo ^_^]

Do you know any good websites to buy one from?
just for future reference :P

[CoolcatNatNat44]

is there a water bottle hole in the imac ???

This was one of the cheapest I found. :)

There is no water bottle hole but the previous owner used the small hole in the pink stoppers to push through the wire to attach a bottle. It's hard to explain but I don't have a pic. :mad: As you can see, I've used a cube toy bought from P@H to secure the bottle. :D

[Gizmodo ^_^]

Thats a real bargain :O
does it include postage aswell?

I might get one of them for Mabel's Zoozone, and Hattie's Gabber Rex when she gets it:mrgreen:

[Jaybee]

I wish I could get this cage!

[Gizmodo ^_^]

I Can't wait for mine to arrive xD, ill think ill add a review to this thread aswell ^_^

[SnickersTheFirst]

Yeah, would be good to have a second opinion. :D

[Gizmodo ^_^]

Yeah this cage needs more awareness lol :D

[musicqueen]

Can you fit the 20cm Karlie Wonderland wheel in this cage?
Thinking of getting as it looks really nice cage.

[SnickersTheFirst]

I don't have a Karlie Wheel so I can't test that for you I'm afraid. Maybe if Gizmodo sees this he will try for you, I think he has both the wheel and the cage.

[Gizmodo ^_^]

Yes i have a karlie wonderland wheel and the imac bingo
so ill try and tell you the answer soon :)

[Gizmodo ^_^]

Just tried, and the karlie wheel just fits :)

[musicqueen]

Thanks Gizmodo:) that means now I've got to save some money up to buy it now.

[fluffymunchkins]

Sorted my hamster shelves today and mums said I can get a new cage for Treo :mrgreen:
I'll be keeping my eye out ebay but if not the Imac bingo looks like my best option.
Save, save, save!

[SnickersTheFirst]

There seems to be alot of ZZ2s about on ebay so keep your eyes open (if you have space). :D

That would be great :D, i really love the imac bingo
if i dont get a duna multy for Mabel, i think ill just get another bingo :)

[fluffymunchkins]

I already have a spare ZZ2 but my sister stole it for the gerbils playpen:roll: (when she goes to uni I will be re-claiming it :twisted:)
But I don't think little Treo wouldn't use that amount of space anyway!

[dan_parsons]

Is this cage ok for a Syrian?

[SnickersTheFirst]

It's not really big enough, I only had Snickers in there for a few months before she passed as Cushings restricted her movement and she was a tiny Syrian.

For a big, active Syrian it's not really big enough imo. :)

[joeyboy]

you say it has two holes for adding extensions? Are these on the roof then? I'm not seeing them haha. I can't find any Imac tubes or accessories to add to the bingo online though? Mystery holes..:mad:

[SnickersTheFirst]

I don't have any pics of the lid atm but yes, there's one on each back corner. I'll take a pic this afternoon if I get time. :)

I've only ever seen the extension tubes for sale once and I've never been able to find them again. :/

[racinghamster]

I love your ingenious wooden-cube bottle holder Snickers! Is that just a Classic water bottle fitted into the cube? It`s a great idea for having a bottle inside a tank style cage as many have holes that are too high for dwarf hamsters.

I`m a big fan of the Gabber Rex (just bought a dodgy one off ebay and set it up for my chinese hamster!) but removed the sliding grid in the lid and made my own `lift-off` barred lid for better access.

The Imac Bingo seems to be a really nice alternative for all dwarf hamsters given that only the Zoozones and the Duna Multi are the other alternatives, or second hand Gabbers that pop up from time to time. Good size and good access. I`m not keen on the basin-style base though that could have been squared off I feel, but otherwise, a nice enough habitat. Decent price too. ;)

[dan_parsons]

Would you say this cage would be ok for 2 Robos or Russians?

And how strong is the plastic, is it likely to crack?

thanks

Yes it would be great, mine seems pretty sturdy, though i know if it was dropped it would crack

I have a Mini duna and i think you do too gizmodo, how would you compare them strenth wise?

Thanks, I originally discovered it on The Gerbil Forum when I got my boys. :) Yup it's the classic bottle.

I'd say it's big enough for a pair. The plastic is quite strong, I'd say the same strength as my Mini Duna, looking at them both. :)
