Best cage for a Robo pair?

[Pebbles82]

I suppose any change is going to cause a bit of stress that could make a pair fall out. It's a difficult one really. What cage are they in at the moment?

I had a Robo pair in a Zoozone 1 (72x46cm), decided to upgrade them to the Ferplast Mary (80x50cm, and they were both chunky boys so the 1cm bar spacing wasn't a problem), and they fell out not long after. I can't say for certain that the bigger cage caused the fall out, but I believe it was definitely a factor, and they could have stayed together for longer if I had just left them in the Zoozone.

So short answer, yes, I think the Duna Multy is the better choice

They're currently in a cage about the size of a Mini Duna which I do not believe is big enough as it simply can't fit all the needed supplies. I will be ordering the Duna Multy soon I think

Thank you for the information, I'll be ordering the Duna Multy soon

That sounds wise for a pair. Then at least if they do fall out after you move them you won't be stuck with a huge cage and needing another cage! Although you'd still need another duna multy probably! They're a good price too. Assume you're getting it from Porton? £33 ish with £2.95 postage.

You can actually get some pretty cheap second hand aquariums on eBay, just give it a good clean! If you went for a 20 gallon tank (a good size for hamsters, especially dwarf pairs, who benefit from lots of space to run around) their dimensions are usually about 75 cm long.

Yes I will be, don't see the point of getting it from Amazon for £10 more
