Savic make some good cages but they are more expensive than the zooplus ones.
The Hamster Heaven is sold by Zooplus as well. It costs more than the Alaska or Barney and is a similar size to the Alaska but a bit lower, if you like that one 
Savic Hamster Heaven Metro Cage | Great deals at zooplus!
It still needs a Syrian sized wheel though. Although the Alaska looks a bit plain on the photos you can make it look fun with tubes and toys One great thing about the Alaska (and the Hamster Heaven) is they both have a really large front opening door which means easier access to get at your hammy and put things in and out of the cage. |
The Hamster Heaven one looks awesome, although I think Hammy is too fat for the tubes though lol! I have just measured my cage and yeah it is abit small (55cm wide and 30cm tall) It's probably because this cage was originally for my old Chinese dwarf.
