Lets see your Hamster Cages! Updated Thread 2006/2007

[PinkEmily]

These are my little angels cages

This is Dales, his cage was cleaned the day before, hes so messy


Teds Cage



Chips Cage ( not sure what cage this is, it was my boyfriends hamsters old one from many moons ago)



And Finally Minni and Belles cage, it looks really fun and makes the other hamsters cages look bare, but they have soooo many cardboard boxes on the floors of theirs!lol



Minni and Belle have robbed Ted and Dales wheels as they cant move the rollys, so Ted and Dale now have the rollys, and keep their mum awake ALL night because they squeek! The new wheels should arrive tomorrow hopefully :P

This is Dave, my lone Roborovskii's cage - I've grabbed some different views, so you can get an idea.

Dave is a very small, very nervous little Robo - tame, but not overly fond of the outside world. She likes some safe space, so I've made sure she has plenty.

Here's the bottom of the cage, showing the burrows I've made for her - the one on the left is simply a u-turn tunnel, but the one on the right leads to another nest, where I hide treats

Main shredded paper nest is top left.



Dave used to be quite keen on digging - "stereotyped behaviour", as I've since discovered - whereby she was digging, because her nature compelled her to do, in the absence of an existing burrow. I've had some amazing success putting these in , and the behaviour has disappeared!

View from the side - she has a wheel, and I've added a climbing frame the second level. She enjoys climbing on the bars, and has become stressed when I've previously tried to stop this. So the frame is there to facilitate this, safely, and there's plenty of bedding beneath.



View from the top - sandbath is in there. Not a massive cage, but she seems to enjoy it. All that's missing are the climbing treats I hang from the bars, which give her a way to climb down from without dropping.



And, lastly, a sleepy little Dave emerging from her burrow!

[sammys/mum]

When you say to another burrow, do you mean to a house buried? or something like that? Looks really good, must be great for a timid robo!

[Gust0o]

Yes, she's got a litte cardboard house at the back - perforated for ventilation. It's buried at the top right of the picture, so it's not visible, but you can see the entrance near my foot.

I'm happy that she's happy

i decided to photograph all my cage set-ups. i've only got as far as these ones for now, but i'll do the others bit by bit and post them up

Bailey, single male robo - savic rody


Apple, single male robo - savic rody


Skye, single male robo - savic rody


Gem, single female chinese - imac fantasy with extension level


Pebble, single female chinese - savic peggy (i didn't buy this cage, it came with Hatty the rescue ham)

[Gust0o]

I gather you like the mini-hamsters, Bunsey!

[Bunsey]

i do have 5 syrians as well, but i haven't uploaded photos of their cages yet

the reason i have 7 single robos is because i bought a group of 4 from pets at home that were meant to be all girls, but they weren't and i had 14 babies! Gem the chinese was a rescue. i went to get a winter white and there she was and i felt sorry for her and brought both of them home!

[Bunsey]

some more cages... still not all of them though!

Jake - syrian


Hannah - syrian


Splodge - winter white


Max - the messiest winter white ever


Paddy - winter white


I know max and paddy's cages are too small, i want to get bigger ones for them but i don't have anywhere to put them! at the mo their cages are technically the same dimensions as the gabber lux, but i think the shape just makes it awkward to fit stuff in (they are square rather than oblong)
