Default REVIEW: Barney cage

I ordered this cage from Zooplus for £39.90. It arrived quickly and fully intact - well packaged in huge box!
However the base is grey and I ordered green, but it doesn't matter to me.

Size: 82 x 51 x 40cm

Suitability: Syrians, Robo's, Russians, Chinese, Mice.

Quality: Very good quality. The mesh seems really sturdy and the base is sturdy too. The wooden house was hard to put up and I did break a bit, but I used too much force! It still works though. The shelf is good, although mine arrived too big, but easily fixed. The ramp is a really nice size too, perfect for the largest of hamsters. The wheel that is included is noisy so is best being replaced, also it is too small for larger Syrians. However I wouldn't use the handles that the cage comes with.

Cost: I paid £39.90, as it was on offer but the price is now £59.90. I would have no ploblem with paying the full amount. I get the impression that is will last quite a few hamsters!

My cage:
I have added the tubes myself using cable ties. The tubes are a mixture of rotastak and FOP. The wooden bridge/ladder is a nice natural looking toy, it has the added bonus of being chewable! The log sticks just create a high spot for Daisy to periscope on, as does the rainbow bridge! The wheel is 8 inches and I have been told it is a touch too small, I will get a new one ASAP. I also bought a bottle that hangs up from the inside to avoid bending the bars.

I would highly recommend plastikoting the house once it is assembled.

I would recommend this to anyone with a Syrian, Robo, Russian, Chinese or even a mouse!

I really do love this cage. Nice to see an aerial view of it as well since I was worried the shelf would take up far too much room (since when I upgrade I want to put a lot more toys in.)

Thanks for this!

Love it! I have an Alexander cage which is bigger, but also a LOT more expensive, so if I ever need to get a new cage I'd probably go for this!
