Lets see your Hamster Cages! Updated Thread 2006/2007

[Pouchy]

Yes they do like the pipes. I added them myself. They are plastic ridged drainage or gas pipe that for some reason we were given a roll of sometime ago. They are ideal for hamsters especially dwarfs. The inside is ridged makeing it easy for them to climb up. My syrian likes them too. However the piping is not flexible and I don't know whether connectors for manufacturers systems like Rotatsk would enable them to join together.
For sometime I have been considering whether to cut the rest into lengths and flog them to interested people either here or on ebay.

My girls just got a new cage last week. They were in two habitrails connected, but now are in a 20 gallon long aquarium.

Here are the pictures I took of it soon after setting it up for them.
It's since changed a bit, but you get the gist.

^ That loooks great gizmo! Must be a pain to clean out though!

Marley's cage when she first moved in:






She now has a wee wooden house to sleep in, a much bigger puzzle playground and the wee red and yellow house is in the corner - where she wees.

Bailey's gabber rex:



The water bottle is now taped on the outside and the wheel is where it should be!



Before Benji moved in:


It was sorted properly when he was in it (i.e more bedding in the top, tubes ina better position, toys)

As well as Benji's Imac, I have a Savic Rody and a Ferplast Laura currently not in use.

I'd love to have an imac.
Yeah, that tank is a huge hassle to clean, but I adore having it.

Here is Carl and Smokey's cages.. They are seperated thus all the double items in the cage setup.

[suga]

wow - that must take some cleaning!!!

[Zoban]

I cheat a bit on the cleaning in the recruitment of a vacuum when the hammies are in thier balls elsewhere.

Bonus is the vac is a filter queen and desn't need bags so I can dump the bin in the compost.

If the tubes need any extra care then they are of course taken out of the setup and given a wash. Depending on the part I swap it out right away with spares vs. having to hurray with the wash and such.

My syrian hamster's setup: (since changed a bit, but you get the idea)


Sleeping headquarters (there is now an orange hut in there as well)


Play room

[OrcaRat]

My little dwarf, Basil's cage (it's had a few more toys added since)

[jayne]

Thought i'd let you guys see Sweets new and improved home. Sours cage was just sitting empty so thought i'd put it to use and give Sweet some extra room

Here is the cage all put together



Red cage for sleeping/eating



Blue cage for playing, she has her wheel, wooden tunnel and playmaze in there



And here is how the two cages are connected
