Yes it's a Savic Mickey 2XL - Pickle is in mine currently! It's a great cage. And much more expensive than the Hamster Heaven strangely. It is actually a hamster heaven without the penthouse and tubes and narrow bar spacing. I also binned the metal grid shelf. Be warned the tubes it comes with are mouse sized and syrians can get stuck in them.

I would definitely bin the metal shelf. Even if you covered it, it takes up a lot of space in the cage. I ended up just setting up the empty cage from scratch and using a flat roofed house as a shelf plus a smaller shelf over it.

The reason it is such a great cage is it's suitable for any species of hamster due to the narrow bar spacing, so futureproof. I've had a Syrian and a Robo in it (at different times). Tehnically it's a cage for mice (hence "Mickey" I think). There are various Savic Mickey cages - the others are much smaller. The 2XL means it's the big one.
