Maybe another bin cage would be easier. I just looked on Amazon.com and Zoozones look a bit expensive too.

Smaller one

Amazon.com : Zoozone Habitat, Medium, Blue : Pet Supplies

Larger 100cm one

A little pricey, good to know though! How would you hang a water bottle on the smaller one? Looks like side (wires) angle inwards? Would the bar spacing be too wide for a robo?

There is a hole in the blue base for a water bottle spout to go through from the outside. You stick Velcro on the bottle and the outside of the cage.

With substrate enough substrate in the base to allow the hamster to reach the spout of the bottle or less substrate and a rock, bendy bridge etc to climb up and reach the bottle spout.

The bar spacing would be big enough for a robo to escape, so you have to add mesh with small gaps.

You can have toys, houses etc that aren't high so the hamster can't reach the bars, but I would add the mesh just to make sure no escapes.

The wire rack can be removed. It is meant for putting hay in if the cage is used for Guinea pigs or rabbits

Ok thank you! Helpful

They are pricey! It's the import charges I think - they're about £50 in the Uk ($70 ish?) I'm sure there's something similar in the US that Dr McK linked once - was it a Tamburino?

I think this was the supplier she mentioned - not sure if they're still available. I think they are - I just tried 'add to cart' and it opened my paypal page with a cost of $60 although I think that's without postage.

Ok the small Zoozone is $91.61 +$14.99 shipping
I'll check the cage below

That one didn't give me a price? There's a phone number
Think I'll just keep Maddi in that bin cage & have a mesh top made soon in case she escapes or disappears to another location lol
She's way to small to escape but I'll probably go up to hardware store today & get that done, would be least expensive way for now. Thank you for your cage suggestions!

A bin cage would be perfect for now,especially if you could eventually find a way to have a rack or something for some bin cages especially with dwarf hamsters that would work efficiently and cost effectively to have cages that are much larger than that one!

Yes that one only really meets the minimum - just linked it because Cinnamon Bear had been looking for a similar one the same size. A bin cage would work out cheaper and you could have it the size you want I guess. Strange it didn't give you a price! Do you have a paypal account? I was surprised when it automatically opened my paypal account to pay for it, and that showed the price, but it seems to be $60. Good luck making a mesh top!

You could probably make a DIY metal door for a bin cage too if you wanted to add a side door or one for the front of a bin cage

Not sure how much space different bins would give but it is worth looking into different ones and seeing how space effective and cost effective different ones would be like the heavy duty 40 gallon(I think)bins and such.Christmas tree bins I believe work out to be around 700 square inches give or take,which are of course a seasonal option to look out for and also good to check into after Christmas since they may be cheaper at that point!

It said I needed to clear my cookies on the Pay Pal so the price wouldn't show?
