If you are absolutely set on using his old cage and levels, use wire cutters like mentioned. Also ensure that you fill the cage with sisal hammocks and seagrass baskets to make sure that if your hamster did fall, he couldn't fall more than two inches. Have fun creating a new cage for him and post pictures when you're all finished so we can see your awesome setup!  |
Good shout on the hammocks - though can I ask Seagrass baskets - is it cause they are softer than the floor for landing? Sorry it might be obvious I just can't see off the top of my head how they would help? Or can I attach them to the wires somehow? Sorry again if it's obvious.
