Default Re: This cage is ridiculous

There are unfortunately an endless list of unsuitable or even outright dangerous products for any pet, in any country, regardless of what kind of pet you have - this is even true of numerous awful dog products, and dogs aren't exactly uncommon pets or anything!

I remember there being mention of the Savic Geneva here as an unsuitable cage, but there are still all sorts of cages I've seen from the UK and other places that are just awful for all different pets.

The Geneva(269 square inches, bigger than some others mentioned here but still way too small):

The Ferplast Circus(~260.8 square inches):
https://www.petsathome.com/shop/en/p...n-hamster-cage
Savic Gerbilarium(~205.5 square inches):
https://www.petsathome.com/shop/en/p...es/gerbilarium
Ferplast Gabry 50 Gerbilarium(~184.14 square inches):
https://www.petsathome.com/shop/en/p...50-gerbilarium
Ferplast Laura(pretty tall, and only ~159 square inches):
https://www.petsathome.com/shop/en/p...n-hamster-cage

I could certainly have listed more unsuitable and or dangerous products for hamsters and other pets, but that would definitely clog up this thread as the list does seem to never end no matter where you shop or what species you're buying for!

It looks like it is for two hamsters...not even big enough to put a hide in. Absolutely awful. I find it ironic that in the description it states 'eco-friendly hamster cage'.

Knowing as much as I know about guinea pigs(even just how much space they actually need which is quite a bit) that just makes me even more disgusted by what should be considered a torture device.

How?? If you look at one of the pictures, the hamster barely even fits in there, let alone a guinea pig!! I don't understand how these cages are in production!!! Don't the producers know the standards?? Apparently not...
