Re: Ex-owner looking for cage advice
Hmm tricky. Those eBay ones look ok if they fit securely enough. I guess you could always mesh the holes? Amazon has the Savic blockers but still £10.28 each. Which could go towards a new cage! V annoying that cages are so hard to come by and I think those prices are inflated as well. I’m sure the blockers used to be cheaper.

Re: Ex-owner looking for cage advice
Not sure where you’re based but there’s someone selling an Alaska cage on eBay in Wakefield but it’s collection only.

Re: Ex-owner looking for cage advice
I'll maybe give them a shot, it's a pack of 4 which is cheaper than paying £11 for one of them I guess!
And yeah, I'm nowhere near any of the collection only cages on ebay unfortunately

Re: Ex-owner looking for cage advice
I just remembered an online cage stockist that sells the sky rat. It’s a bit expensive but it’s basically two 100 cm cages on top of each other. Has narrow bar spacing. I have often been tempted by this cage as the lower part has a front opening door and it has narrow bar spacing. No need for a full level. It is called the Carlos cage in Germany but overseas postage isn’t possible right now. I also remember someone on here blocking off the access between the two to make two 100 cm cages.

Re: Ex-owner looking for cage advice
The caps used to be on Amazon for about £3 each, but they don't seem to be available now.
There is a local pet shop called Scallywags which sells cages with courier delivery anywhere in the UK: Scallywags Pet Shop and Grooming Parlour - Cages for sale. The Volta looks very nice in my opinion. 100cm long, and comes with a nice built in house and platform.

Re: Ex-owner looking for cage advice
Wow that is a find Sushi. The Volta does look good although personally I couldn’t get on with that one small access door at the front.

Re: Ex-owner looking for cage advice
Oooh thanks for the link, I'll go check it out! And yeah, that's my back up, the P@H one - but the secondhand HH cage I'm eyeing is only £13 right now!

Re: Ex-owner looking for cage advice
Yes, the tiny door is a pain, especially when taming a new hamster. If you can get the HH cheaply, it makes a good taming cage due to the large door though many Syrians will need an upgrade to something bigger later on.

Re: Ex-owner looking for cage advice
I'm chuffed! I just bought a second-hand HH with all accessories plus a big trixie wheel, toys, and carrier for 50 quid delivered!
