WOW that is really good

Hammys will be very pleased

Where did you get the log tunnels from?

It's made from a water resistant coated birch plywood unit, so I think it has some protection from urine.
And in germany they spot clean this style of cage, and only do a full clean every 3 months ish.
Because you use a lot of bedding etc.

It looks really great mark, bet you're thrilled to finally have it done.
Your seperation works really well too, because they won't bury all the substrates all together like mine has!
I especially like the sawdust compartment, looks really nice

Tunnels & Dens: bargain prices at zooplus: Trixie Cork Tunnel

those are the medium, but mark said in his other thread that in future he'd go for the large for a syrian.

I reallly want some now >.<

Mark you're amazing, those cages are fantastic! Just wondering what you've done for ventilation though? Does the top one have mesh in? And what about the bottom one?

Mark, this is amazing - such a great cage, your hamsters will love it!

I just adore it when people have the skill and patience to build these cages themselves - if it wasn't for my husband, I'd have to spend lots of money on cages custom made for me...

Absolutely fabulous!!

Brilliant job Mark. Stella & Smokey are going to love them. It looks all so natural.
