Default Re: best cage for a pair of hybrids

This is the 100 x 54 Barney cage on top of the 80 x 50 Savic Mickey 2XL (same size as the hamster heaven. The 20cm doesn't look much but gives a lot more useable space and floor area.

I am thinking a zoozone 1/standard duna multy would be a good upgrade - not too big not too small - if they are used to a smaller cage at the moment. But 90cm might be ok as well.

Some of those cages are quite expensive. I think you would be fine with a standard dubs multy as an upgrade. Not too expensive either. Or if you were up for making a bin cage then the rub bin but I think the top access is easier with the standard duna multy. The Marrakesh is lovely and a bit bigger but very expensive.

I went round the houses for ages looking for the ideal cafe for a Syrian and looked at all kinds of expensive options and in the end went for the reasonably priced Barney cage and it’s fine. I think they would adjust better to a Perspex tank style like they are in now rather than a barred cage but a good size compromise between the duna multy and the Marrakesh is the 80 x 50 hamster heaven with all the plastic stuff removed. It also has great access at the front and isn’t too tall like the Alaska.

I decided to order the grosvenor, as little pet warehouse are selling them for £38! I'm going to do as you suggested, and use the same bedding and place everything where it was in the old cage, does anyone else have this cage or a cage of these dimensions (approx 80x50cm) and have any tips on setting them up well, to have both space and enrichment.
I will slowly change and improve the set up as they get used to the new cage.

It is a great cage. I had it for a roborovski. I love the way the top opens up completely, very handy for cage cleans.

Look forward to seeing how you set it up.
