Default Re: Favorite hamster toys for robos?

Thanks serendipity! The cage I'm getting is the All Living Things glass reptile terrarium. It's basically a glass tank with a mesh top which has locks (had to find a cage with a latching lid and no bars because my kitty would find a way to get into it). I've seen several people who've used the large size for a hamster home and it works great! It's about 46 gallons in volume. It is pricey but I couldn't find an aquarium with a ventilated lid that had locks on it. And of course, most hamster cages in my country (crittertrails to be exact) are waaaayyy too small for one, let alone two hamsters. So I thought the terrarium was my best bet despite it being $115.
I would love to have a detolf (because it would be easy to split it in half if the hamsters fought too much) but I don't have a good place to keep such a long cage, and I would have to make some kind of DIY lid to put on top (as mentioned before, my kitty would easily find a way to get into the hamster cage if it had no lid).

You definitely need to keep the cat out of the room completely.They're natural predators of hamsters no matter how sweet and harmless a cat may seem,and there will always be negative impact from them being around hamsters even if it seems like nothing bad will happen

Yeah, I will probably always keep both my cat and dog out of my room. But of course some day somebody may forget to shut my door or I don't shut my door completely and the kitty will manage to get in my room, so I'd rather be safe than sorry! And also my cat does love to bring dead baby bunnies and half-eaten birds to our doorstep, so she has strong hunting instincts.
