Ah well there’s other options!
The zoozone 2 is a lovely cage but is more suited to dwarves because of its low height and fitting in a Syrian wheel, but I did used to keep syrians in there. My old Syrian chewed out of two zoozones so they are not 100% chew proof, there’s little cut out squares that enable teeth to get around them. Not that it’s a huge fault, just something to bear in mind if you do have a chewy ham!
The current zoozone I have is also a pain and I only bought it this year, the lid won’t stay up so has to be taken off each time or it’ll crash down. Not sure if this is normal for them now but first time it’s happened.
If you can find it £50-£55 I think it’s worth it and really is a nice cage, but if I was to purchase again I’d personally go for the maxi Duna multy as a meshed lid isn’t the nicest. That’s around £80.
