Re: need help choosing a new cage for my syrian hamster
Ranchhouse cages on ebay do various different wooden shelves.
I don't think they do anything big enough for a full length shelves but some of them might be big enough for what you want, they're good quality & well made.

Re: need help choosing a new cage for my syrian hamster
I would suggest not adding anything else for at least a couple of weeks while Brian is adjusting to the change - but here are some shelves I know about.
I got some from Ranchouse cages. They come with good fittings so are easy to attach, but they can be a bit heavy the bigger they get. Mine ended up sloping down slightly. You can also get plastic corner shelves. I had a very nice wood corner shelf, that wasn't too heavy from Amazon in Germany. It's not cheap though. The shelf itself was only about £6 (converted from euros) but with postage it was approx £16! It is very nice though and well made. The ladder isn't included.

I had a long narrow shelf from Ranchhouse cages that was quite good for filling a gap plus it came in a pack with two "ledges". They are just a bit heavy that's all. They also do this really nice bendy bridge that can be used as a small shelf. It screws to the bars at one side and can be bent into different positions. I just used it as a ramp up to the Barney shelf, attached to the bars so it didn't slip.
They do shelf packs though so you can get a few in different shapes and sizes for about £15.

These are the plastic corner ones. They are quite big - 40cm each side.
The Savic one is also £15 - I reckon the German wood one is better value as it's so nice and easy to fit.

This Little Friends one is about the same size and cheaper

Re: need help choosing a new cage for my syrian hamster
Not until it gets stinky lol. Hmm I wonder where he is peeing. If nothing smells I wouldn't worry about it. He might be burying it or burrowing down to pee or something. Where did he used to pee in his old cage - away from his nest?

Re: need help choosing a new cage for my syrian hamster
Hi. Good to hear about Brian chewing and doing other hamstery things lol. Is he monkey barring across the top? It's still early days, he might be wanting to get out and go and see his old cage or something. Did you keep the old cage or take it back? If you kept it you could maybe put a couple of the tubes from in it in the Barney as something familiar.
The main thing if he is monkey barring, is to make sure he can't hurt himself if he falls. So heap the substrate up in the middle and move any hard items under the shelf or hammock.
