Cages in the US are VERY expensive, hard to find and if you look at floor space per dollar many of the fancy plastic things (ZooZone Duna etc.) are ridiculously expensive. I have always kept my hamsters (dwarfs) in aquariums. Either a 20 long or 29 high. Same foot print, the 29 is taller. "Critter Tops" are easy to find for 10. 15 & 20 gallon sizes. The 29 high allows me to build 3-4 levels for them to run up and down between.

PetCo right now has a sale on; $1 per gallon, up to 20 gallons. The 40 breeders are on sale for $120. That's the best price I have seen for those in years. I am trying to decide if I can afford two 40 breeders. I only have 1 hamster right now, but I would like to have a second.
$120 for 40-gallon? I hope you mean $40 + tax on a sale Yes, PetCo's dollar-per-gallon sales are great.
