Default Re: Rotastak Pink Palace ~ Cage Review

Those two Rotastak cages really are incredible! I feel so guilty keeping my Syrian in a relatively tiny Gabber rex

i have my syrian pickles in thepink palace :S, I'm really worried reading your above comments that she isn't happy in there now. I was a bit concerned at the size of the wheel, but even in her previous cage which was far too small she didn't ever go on the wheel and still she sn't interested. She comes out every day without fail to go in her ball and she also has a box i keep under my desk with toys in that she plays in as well. She's really healthy and seems to love whizzing about up and down her tubes, do you think she's okay?

my girlfriend had this cage. Hamster manage to escape on a daily basis from pushing on the tube at a way were it would be able to stick its teeth in and then push the plastic ribs off it was very impressive
now he lives in a rotastak / habitrail ovo / crittertrail linked monster of a cage and cant get out and if he could I don’t think he would wont to leave
a huge tip on anyone
ONLY GET THE ROTASTAK MAXI UNITS!
I had the Rotastak Cosmo Pod for about 2 months added on to a part of my cage and the amount of problems with the cosmo pod was ridicules it got to the point that when I cleaned it out I had to put masking take on the bottom going to the sides to keep them from falling apart

The only good rotastak cage iv had is the maxi unit it was invincible and iv tried ever rotastak cage out there

But still you put in a grate review and nice one on letting people know its just not a suitable size a Syrian
you have to buy that bit more for the cage if your going to get one

You put in all the pros and cons I would have put in there

My 3 were happy in their Rotastak to be honest. The biggest problem with it for them was the wheel was so small that once they grew they never used it. My hamsters are particularly large for pet shop hamsters though...my girls are both over 180g each. Now they have got 8" wheels they use them all the time. Space wise, if you have enough extra units bolted on its okay. I don't think that one Maxi unit, an attic and one round extension is enough though (which is all you get with a pink palace). However the good thing about Rotastak is the ability to extend and there are always second hand units on ebay for reasonable prices.

The other reason aside from the wheel problem that I got rid of it was the cleaning time. When I bought the first set for my one hamster I was prepared for the time and okay with it. Then I ended up with 2 more hamsters and it was taking forever to do all their units.

I did have a pod with one of my sets though and I agree they are fiddly. I used to strip it down every time for a clean and then rebuild. It was nice for the hams to get the air through though I thought.
