Default Cage similar to zoozone 1?

Hi, does anyone know a cage with similar dimensions to the zoozone 1? Looking at getting marty a new cage as he just keeps biting the tiny holes and driving me mad at night! He's already destroyed one base and is on his second one. Must be roughly the same size due to our lack of space, ideally i would like a glass tank but can't find anything suitable. No bin boxes though as not a fan of them.
Thanks in advance

Have you looked at the Kerry on Zooplus? I think that's a similar size.

Is he a Syrian? The Zoozone 1 is probably a bit small for him. I know you say space is an issue but something the similar sized floorspace and a bit taller for a bigger wheel and ramp might be better. As Cypher says the Kerry is a similar size and a bit taller. But he might be chewing it because he needs more space and enrichment. eg bigger wheel and a level and just more things to do in the cage.

Personally I'd be tempted to get an Alaska cage - it's only very slightly bigger and a good size for a Syrian - it's also much cheaper than the Kerry. He may not chew if he has more space. Once you start looking into glass tanks it gets expensive. But the best compromise is the Kerry - it's the cheapest glass tank option, about the same size and has a bit more height so you could add a home made platform/level - they do need one I think.

I have the Kerry for our Robo and I think it could do to be a bit bigger for a Syrian personally.

If it's for a dwarf hamster I'd say the Kerry is fine.

It is for a syrian yes but its already at the maximum i can fit. Its annoying really as ive had 5 hamsters in that cage and he's the only causing a fuss lol I like the look of the alaska cage but for a cage biter the last thing i want to do is give him bars

which holes do you mean? Is it the water bottle spout holes? If so put a bolt though with a metal washer to cover up those.

The water bottle hole is covered with wood, he leaves that alone. Its the tiny holes on each corner of the cage, we've tried covering them but he bites them too.
