zoozone cages

[fuzzycritters88]

i have looked at these cages and they seem to be very good, but i was wondering if you can add tubes and plateforms to it also i was wondering where the cheapest place is to buy them from. oh and it is for a syrian hamster i am hoping to get soon. if you have any pictures of your cages that would b great thank you.

Yeah, you can add platforms quite easily all you need are some legs to hold it up like this

i dont think it would be a good idea to add tubes as you might split the top plastic bit but if you did it in the bottom... mm i dont know, its possible but i wouldnt tbh.
i have a zoozone 2 for mimi my syrian

that is her current setup ^

and this is pip and pop my robos zoozone 1

i change thiers around quite a lot though ^

i love these cages, especially the zoozone 2. i think its a great size for syrians

new, they are around £50 on ebay. but they come up second hand on ebay frequently so chances are you'll find one for £10-£20
but the lid needs to be meshed, so they dont escape. its not difficult though

Here's Pudding's Zoozone 2:



(The wooden platform is a Trixie guinea pig shelter; the larger one with a step.)

By far the cheapest way to get one is to buy one second-hand. Keep an eye on eBay, Gumtree, and Preloved for one near you, they're normally listed as an 'indoor guinea pig cage' - just specify 'Used' and ignore all the barred ones. If you buy one new, they're around £50. For meshing, you can buy a single panel of mesh (I use 6mm square, but 10mm would work for a Syrian), which is a lot cheaper than a roll. I cut it to size, then duct tape the sharp edges, and cable tie it to the grill. You just need a sturdy pair of wirecutters and you're set.

do zoozone cages come any smaller than the medium cage?

[Pomegranate]

Nope, there's the large in mid-blue, or the medium in pink or baby blue.

Here are a couple of pictures as to how I put in a level:


I also added in tubes by soldering out a hole and gluing on a connector, there have been no escapes so I can only assume it worked okay! Not sure if that's what you meant but if you want a pic just let me know
The level is made from a Trixie Guinea Pig Shelter and a Trixie Guinea Pig set of steps.

This is how I added in tubes:



The connector came with one of the ferplast bits, I forget which now though, it's not the connector you get to put on wire cages it's just a little flat circle, I *think* it was on the spare connecting rings to stop them getting bent. It has a nice flat surface so it's easy enough to glue on I just drew on the size of the hole I needed, took it out with a soldering iron then glued on the connector with Araldite which is very strong glue.

I have the tube supported there not because the connector is bad just because as it's going in two directions if the tubes move it can get a little less stable than I'd prefer, that and I'm utterly paranoid.
