Re: Ikea platsa
Unfortunately everything I said is still completely true. Hamsters can and will move things around to escape if they're determined enough and 10 inches or even more is not going to ever fully prevent that, regardless of cage layout. They can also be surprisingly strong and capable of moving far heavier things than we'd expect!
It doesn't matter how much you've spent in terms of time or money on hamster proofing, escape is and always will be a possibility if you're not careful. This is absolutely a required part of responsible ownership, one I cannot possibly emphasize enough. As I've already said, it's best to just put him in something temporary for now regardless of how you think he'll feel for his own safety. You should never have a hamster in a cage without a lid or that isn't otherwise 100% secure under any circumstances, absolutely no exceptions to that whatsoever.
