Default What? I thought these were only in the UK!

So I went to the locally run pet store a few towns over and saw they had these cages that I thought were only sold in the UK! I didn't get to snap a picture because as soon as I found it, we had to leave.

But they were Bernie cages! In both the green and the pink.

I was so shocked at finding them there, I wish I could have spoken to an employee about them.

FOP do seem to be making an inroad into the US market. They do some nice cages at the larger end and some with reasonable bar spacing for hamsters. Our single dwarfs have always liked the Bernie. If you take the fitted wheel out you can fit a silent spinner on a stand in for a small dwarf.

I can't see the link. They looked like these:
http://www.mullinahonecoop.ie/catalo...artno=PET01004

I do think they are FOB Criceto Bernies now after seeing pophammy's review of one that looks exactly that same as the one I saw. I thought FOBs were just website only, but I guess they're starting to give US pet shops some to carry. XP
