They do a 90cm version as well. I very nearly got one but stuck to a traditional cage as it was an upgrade and Charlie was used to a cage so wanted something similar and to keep the layout similar.

A few people have made and sold hamster accessories. And the piggy room makes houses.

Making a wheel sounds great!
I think wheels would be able to have far more profit and would be easier to ship and all that.Just the size and bulkiness of an actual cage is what makes it difficult really,and the time and effort that is required to build the cage and source materials and all that.Wheels are much easier though,so it could be a very good idea
