Hi,
I know this is an old post but I was wondering how people are getting on with wooden cages?
I'm looking to get a new cage and I like the look of a wooden one on ebay similar to the one above. Are there any disadvantages to a wooden cage. (Apart from waterproofing /plastikoting). Did they stand up to the tests of time and strong little teeth?

Thanks for reading my post, los

I have one of these cages...ebay purchase from germany! Its 120cm by 60cm and has 3 floors..but im still on the process pf modifying it and wont use it untill ive worked out how to waterproof and seal the wood. Its going to be home for 1 male syrian..

Hi Niblenible
thanks for your reply, mine is going to be for a male Syrian too

The cage i was looking at was very similar to this
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wooden-Roden.../dp/B00AWPMMKE

but having read the reviews it sounds likely to have a hamster escape route nibbled out of it in no time. So ill have to keep looking for either a sturdier wooden one or a plastic one.

As far as waterproofing I think I've read that people plastikote them, a spray paint as far as I've found out on Google today. Otherwise there's vivarium paint? Maybe that would work? I'm sure someone on here will n know what to use. As I havent tried either and you don't want it to be toxic.
Thanks los
