I actually don't think there is much choice at all for £50 for anything approx 80 x 50. £60 maybe. And for perspex tanks probably the Duna multy and an 8" wheel. I had some angst about using an 8" wheel even for a week in a holiday cage so managed to find a low height 11" wheel that fitted in my holiday cage. I am sure 8" would be fine for a week though. 9" is better but then they'd have to buy an expensive wheel like the silent runner. Although actually a 12" flying saucer would probably be fine for a week.
An 8in wheel wouldn't work because i have one in the playground for the dwarfs. The Syrians try to have a go but Jack whose a bit of a porker can't run in it.

I have a Duna Multy as a spare for a dwarf but it is too low for a Syrian's wheel and the 12in saucer would take up most of the space. I have one of those in the playground as well and the Syrians run on it but more so on the upright wheels.

A couple of weeks isn't long for us but it's a fairly long time for a hamster.

I would have thought a bin cage with wheels would be easier to transport and the Argos one has a pull along handle.

I don't think there's a big enough, new cage available for £50 and a bin cage is the way to go. It could be bought and meshed for just under £50.

Thank you for the link info.
