LOL i know i'm terrible aren't I!!!
But i just love teh hammies soooo much, and hamster cage buying has become an addiction XD
My mums going to have to give up soon, cause like hope says, i certainly am not

Plus she made the mistake of giving me money so i can actually afford them.
Then saying its your money buy what you want, then i stopped her before she could say except hamster cages.

I won't spend it on anything other than them anyway!

What are you going to be like when you get your own place?

[fluffymunchkins]

like a mad woman who can't be stopped!
Hopefully i'll still have you guys to keep me tame and in control
otherwise there will be no more room left in my house for me.

I keep most of my Chinese in savic Rodys.
Pros:
-easy to clean
-easy access to all parts of cage
-plenty of space to put hidey-holes/toys and larger wheel
- difficult (not impossible though )to escape from
-easy to store (I wouldn't recommend stacking as the ventilation grille and only access in on top. They fit nicely on shelves)
-suitable for litters
-cheap secondhand

Cons:
-the supplied shelf and waterbottle system is daft. I ended up with substrate piled under the spout and soggy hamsters. I now use bottles hanging from the grille or velcro'd to a corner
- determined beasts can still access the bars and get bar rub
-around the clips and where the shelf fits are common places for chewing. I have had a chew-y syrian make a 3-4cm hole in the side of the base.
- if you are careless like me and lean on the grille when its open you can snap the plastic holding it. It still works, just needs a bit of sticky tape

Cage size is a contentious issue, but in my opinion it is a perfectly adequate size. I have housed syrians in it before (usually those who aren't suited for barred cages for various reasons).
