Default Top Ten Hamster cages video

I've been meaning to do this for ages, and have just finished a video of my top ten favourite hamster cages (all of which meet RSPCA minimum guidelines). This is obviously my personal choice and doesn't include everything available, but reckon it's a good start for anyone who wants to find a suitable cage

Great video! Nice to see a straight forward breakdown of suitable cages. I liked that you listed the pros and cons of each. I think it's especially good for those new to hamsters and not sure of what options are available for suitable housing

Great vid. We need videos like this out there for all those people who buy hamsters and only see the pet shop range which (as we know) are generally too small and too expensive.

Thanks Flower Fairy. I've now worked out how to trim the ends of videos There are probably others out there, just wanted to do an up to date one.

Well done Serendipity! Nice video. Clear, concise, I like it

(Teeny tiny note: the kerry lid slides off, not hinges up at the back )

Ooh! Does it! I don't know why I thought it hinged at the back. I think because Skyline have another glass/wood tank called the Agadir that's available in Germany and that has a hinged lid. The Agadir is basically the same as the Marakesch on Zooplus but it has the same looking lid as the Kerry Terrarium. Thanks Velma! I'll add a note. Sliding off sounds better actually. Does it come off easily?

The top slides easily on the Kerry, the door in the top is a good size too, just did a quick google for the Agadir & it looks similar but only has two small doors on top as far as I can see? which looks a bit awkward to do much with!

Yes I know the two small doors on top of the Agadir aren't as good, and also the 100cm one is actually nearer 90cm internally. I'd been tempted with it, but there isn't much a space gain over what I have now as it's slightly less deep as well (and tricky to fit a Wobust wheel in). Of course I'm wishing I'd bought a Barney cage months ago now! I held off as we were supposed to be moving and it still hasn't happened lol.

One of these days we might just get everything we want all in one cage... or am I being overly optimistic there
