It definitely isn't far fetched! I've personally woken up to a hamster in my bed, most likely a result of bedding being piled up enough for her to escape and climb out of a temporary bin setup.

Yes, they ship to my island in the middle of the Atlantic if I beg in customer service lol.
I like the alexander for its lovely shelves and the living world eco habitat for its clear plastic sides and ability to take very deep bedding.

Interesting Habitat. I changed mine recently, removed many castles and hiding spots because I rarely saw him.

Ps: I ordered another cage.
I will keep my bookshelf setup for other purposes or for temporary playing with the hammies.

I will get this cage: Skyline Small Pet Terrarium Kerry

It is not huge, but it has the recommended measurements and it looks nice.

Is that your cat in the picture? He seems like he does have an interest in the hamsters, so it's good that you have lids.

It's good that you actually listened and got a new cage! I would love to see the set up.

The picture of the living world green eco habitat shows the set up, and I'd recommend putting back the castles and all that in the left side of the picture where there is barely anything and it's very open.
Hamsters feel more safe when they have more things to hide under and inside, and when there is not a lot of open space.

Hi everyone again, here is my new cage to replace the bookshelf setup:

Artur you really should never remove items just because you want to see your hamster more. He has chosen to hide in there, maybe because that’s just what his sleep schedule is, or is personality, or that he is nervous/not quite comfortable around people. Some hamsters you may only catch a glimpse of every 3 days and it would be good to accept that. Removing items is going to make him feel very exposed and that huge empty area at the front entirely lacks enrichment and isn’t set up with his best interests in mind.

I’m glad you have got a more suitable cage. Which cage is it or what size?

What size wheel is that? I would like to know because I am looking to upgrade my wheel size but I don't think my Roborovski can handle that big a wheel size, it looks it will be quite painful for her.

The 20cm wooden Trixie wheel will be fine for a robo, they spin really easily so she wont have any trouble using it! It might take her a few attempts to learn how to use it without spinning out but I found thst happened to my robo with most wheels really.
