Hello! New soon to be Dwarfowner with some questions

[Axeria]

Exactly! I will not make someting smaller than the rody caus i have that , if im gona make a bincage it needs to be HUGE the problem im having is that i can only find really tall and deep bins, not ones with a big floorspace. Dunno how well shelves work in bins?

Although if the hammy is big enough i can use my 80x45 cm "ratcage" (in my opinion a hamstercage) ^^,

Thanks for comenting!!

Good The bigger the better, and what about the biggest IKEA samla storage box? We've got a few bins made of those and they're a good size.
And 80cm by 45cm isn't a rat cage in my opinion lol. Mind we have the Aurora 450 (roughly 100cm by 60cm and like 80cm tall plus its legs) and I call that a hamster cage too

Yeah i also think the bigger the better for any animal cage. After all they need room to move and enjoy life in when we are choosing to have them in our houses, plus the need for space for toys is also essential in my opinion!

I know! its crazy that they call it for a ratcage! i would not use any smaller than the Royal suite cage for rats personaly, thats what ive been using for mine, but they have all wandered now so im looking for trying something a bit less smelly and easyer to keep when buisy with other stuff, the rats took all my time :P hehe! They are so cute tho ^_^

But i digress,
I will check out IKEA , but would need to be online tho caus i dont have one of their stores in my area. Do you know if they ship smaller items like the samla boxes? Or do they just ship larger items like wardrobes and sofas and such? :P

Thank you for an Great answer!

Just thought to say that ive found that they DO deliver the Samla boxes so ive just ordered two boxes, one lid and one set of fasteners for the lid All for the pretty sum of 43 GBP including the delivery charge, im well pleased

Yay cant wait to start asembling now all i need is hardvare-cloth with tiny "holes"

[kyrilliondaemon]

Exactly Hams need toys and stuff (even if one of ours won't use them lol)
I've got similar views to you on rat cages I think, although we don't actally have rats (plan to get them one day).

I'm glad the SAMLA boxes are able to be delivered and were useful

[Axeria]

Hehe you know; great minds
Thank you for all your help, im sure I wil come up with more questions in the future

Looks like you're going to be well prepared for a very lucky hammy. Can't wait to see the cage when it's done and the final hammy you choose.

[Axeria]

Thank you! I hope im ready xD Tho it feels like i just cant get enough equipment together for my soon to be little friend :P

I got a question more if you dont mind answering ^_^ Ive seen some really gorgeous bincages at this site, some with amazing decorations. Do anyone know where to get those kinds of tapes with a pattern on? they look so nice and cheerfull

Thanks! <3

[kyrilliondaemon]

Its called duck tape (thats the brand) and I think some is on ebay... If you google it their website has a list of suppliers though
