Hi, do you only want pictures of suitable hamster cages? I use Imac Fantasy and Ferplast cages. Not everyone likes/has these cages but I find them very spacious for my hamsters, as well as easy to access to get them out and play with them.

IMAC Fantasy

Costs about £21-27 plus £12 for extra levels

FERPLAST Rainbow - my favourite but retails for up to £60 - check out eBay for second hand cages

FERPAST (tubeline) Laura

Hope this helps you a little

Here is our cage type. It's a Gabber cage and is really roomy and easy to get the hamsters in and out of. I have seen them sometimes on eBay for £22.99. Do you have a birthday coming up? Maybe you could ask for one for your birthday?

My birthday is in October... I guess I can wait until then to get my hammy (give me time to look about, research animal care and have money saved up too... So I can get more hammy stuff

But I will see... If I haven't developed GMH by then

(Get More Hammys wish syndrome

)

We have had a few discussions on cages in the past and another you may want to check out is this one. I always say get the biggest you possibly can and if it means saving for another 4 weeks do it Ferplast are my current manufacturer of choice - I use the Rainbow cages too although they are only £35 pounds here and Gabber Duna Tanks for my Roborovski but they cost nearly double that price pophammy

Wierd how prices are so different across the UK - I love Ferplast Rainbows and would probably pay £60 if I had to but glad I don't Emma (i_love_paddy)

They are getting rarer and rarer though sadly, and taking longer to get on order, so I have been trying out more from the Tubeline ranges Laura and Paula etc. with various add-ons and the Syrians seem to really like the tubes - they are nice and generous in diameter and ventilated too, plus they split in half for easy washing. This cage from Ferplast has the same dimensions as a Rainbow but you can add tubes to the metal top section which is even better. I removed the inner shelf/level which is solid with a solid lader and covers one half of the base level with the top of the base. This way you can hopefully see the proportions of inside better. The base is really deep so no litter gets kicked out and 3 Winter Whites Russian Dwarf Hamsters live here happily - with their two wheels of course because they always want to run at the same time and two only fit in together

At the other end of the external tube system I have removed the second shelf/level - yes it comes with two :P normally connected by a bridge - and have a puzzle playgroud instead which they have hours of fun fooling around on.

yeh, I didn't pay £60 for the Rainbow cages though luckily - I brought my two on eBay - one was £16 (I collected it) and the other was £23, although the Rainbow bridge bit was broken
