unfortuately, my mum packed the cage up in the garage before i could take pics for the review! when we get it out to sell, i'll add pics. Anyway, i thought the review would still be of use even without pics.

The one shown is th yoyo plus. the basic yoyo comes without the stuff inside! It costs around £19.99
The website gives it a measurement of 54X39X27CM, but this seems to be the size around the middle of the cage, which is significantly larger than the actual floor space. The sides slope inwards a lot more than they appear to on the picture.
The cage is a lot smaller than a savic rody, gabber lux or ferplast duna. I would say it is in line with the savic spelos on size, yet manages to be a worse cage than the spelos!
cons:
- it is too small for anything other than a travelcage or a dwarf in an emergency until you could buy a new cage!
- There is no water bottle or anywhere to attach a water bottle! you have to make your own stand. velcro isn't an option because the sides slope far too much.
- The wheel is completely useless. it's about the size of the small silent spinner and the running edge slopes so the hamster slides out! it doesn't turn well either.
- the plastic level is too slippy for dwarfs and they can't get any grip.
pros:
- it doesn't have bars for the hamster to chew on.
- could be used as a washing up bowl
overall: completely useless other than in an emergency. i give the imac yoyo one star out of 5 (only because it's better than letting the hamster wander free!)
