Thumbs up Imac criceti 16

This is the cage i won off ebay for 99p It was listed as a rat cage so thats wha i assumed it was, turns out its actually the imac criceti 16 hamster cage.
Imac Criceti 16 Hamster Cage – Next Day Delivery Imac Criceti 16 Hamster Cage
Although the one i have is orange, has none of the accessories and is possibly an older version so it looks quite different, it has the label 'imac criceti 16' so it is the same cage I brought a ferplast shelf to make more use of the space.
I've moved Porridge into it to save some room for the moment (i can sit another cage on top)
But i definitely reccommend it, especially for the price




Pros:
*Big cage base for lots of floorspace, i managed to fit lots of things in
*Plenty of space for shelfs and hammocks
*3 doors, one on the side and two on top
*The bridge it comes with looks so cute
*The cage base and wires are very sturdy, mine has been chewed to pieces round the edges by the previous occupants, yet its still perfectly secure.
*Easy to clean, although i can't say what the orginal shelves are like

Cons:
*The doors are small as with a lot of cages, would be better if it had one big door
*Comes with a rubbish wheel as with most cages
*Big syrians may struggle with the tubes on the shelves
*Bar spacing is too big for most dwarfs and chinese, may be ok for chubby winterwhites

Please feel free to add any other pros and cons, i will update this thread in future i'm sure.

I know, i was well chuffed! My mum said no more cages but she saw it was only 99p and just couldn't say no
Just thought of another good point, the roof is flat unlike the cambridge so like i said i can stack the cages. Its also more length than height which is better for hamsters
As soon as i'm allowed i'd definitely buy another, but maybe i should wait till all my other spare cages are filled

Thanks for the review Mel - it looks like a really nice cage. I love the way that you have set it up with the big shelf and the hammcok. Porridge must love it in there!

Ps are you sure porridge doesnt have a bit of winter white in him?? I cant beleive how light he is going!! Like he is getting his winter coat!

He loves to sit on the hammock by the door and wait for me to get him out


Porridge's colour is so odd nowadays Maybe hes got a bit confused about his species!
