Re: Habitrail Ovo cage review
And even with this large cage I wouldn't say there is much more space in it to run around really

Re: Habitrail Ovo cage review
I used habitrail for my dwarf, snickers and my robo, kit kat. Both loved the cages so I agree with Debi. What works for one hamster may not work for the next

Re: Habitrail Ovo cage review
Your males are only six weeks into life in the cage Debi, from my perspective it makes more sense to use tried and tested methods of keeping pairs happy together - even with pairs I trust 100% I'd prefer to be safe than sorry. That said... If its what you want to do its what you want to do. Good luck

Re: Habitrail Ovo cage review
As I said I think knowing the temperament of your hamster is much more important than the cage their in. Hamsters that don't like other hamsters will fight no matter if their in habitrail set ups or bin cage! These are both hamsters I have bred and I think there temperaments start showing from as young as 2-3 weeks of age. These are two I am confident will always get along without a problem. I've found this review from 2010 which is similar to mine but does go into not more depth so people considering it may find this helpful too Habitrail Ovo

Re: Habitrail Ovo cage review
Yes and I respectfully disagree. I've known pairs suddenly get along far better when basic steps are taken to reduce the risk of fallouts so to me it makes sense to take those steps regardless just to be on the safe side.
I've also found that a single large space is better for hamsters than multiple smaller spaces but I'm not even trying to argue that point as it doesn't really drastically affect the hams welfare and there is such a thing as best for the individual - providing they can get a decent wheel e.t.c

Re: Habitrail Ovo cage review
I agree with that, at the moment everything they need is in the ovo including a 6 inch silent spinner, you wouldn't for one that's big enough for a Syrian in it. They will be carefully watched for any fighting and the cage can easily be divided if this was to happen.

Re: Habitrail Ovo cage review
This is their pod that contains the wheel. There quite lazy boys though and don't tend to use it that often.

Re: Habitrail Ovo cage review
I didn't say they don't have everything they need in the ovo... I said I'm not even trying to argue that point because I do respect that different people find different things work.
I do disagree with keeping a pair in a modular setup because I feel its taking a completely unneccessary risk with the hamsters health - and like you I'm perfectly entitled to air my view on the forum.

Re: Habitrail Ovo cage review
Think you misunderstood, I was just saying that a wheel for a dwarf fits in the cage fine but a Syrian sized one wouldn't. Wasnt trying to argue about it. I actually agree that for lots of dwarfs it wouldn't work as keeping two dwarfs together alot of the time just doesn't work no matter what setup their in, but the review was really more just on the cage and up to people to make their own mind up whether they wanted to risk having two in it but some people may only own one hamster. So was really just a review on the actually cage rather than who could live in it
