Rosewood Abode or Ferplast Favola for my Dwarfs?

[londonhamster]

I have been looking at so many cages to choose the best one for me and have narrowed it down to two that I really like. They will be for two new Dwarf's which I am looking to buy this weekend.

The Rosewood Abode:
Rosewood — Catalogue Product


The Ferplast Favola:
modular cage for hamsters, Cages For hamsters Favola manufacturer shop - FERPLAST


To me both are stylish, contemporary looking, neat, easy to maintain and allow full view of my hamsters.

Both cages are of a similar size and I like the fact that there is a second level. Which of the two would you prefer/recommend?

Please let me know!

thanks

Of the two the favola looks better, but I'd probably not use the included level, and allow the hamster to walk on the bedding, as long as there are things like bowls etc on the substrate, they won't cave in.
But an aquarium would be larger and easier to aquire (just because it's a fairly thin cage, but aquariums of the same width tend to be 10-15 cm longer)

I agree that the look of the Abode is nice, but neither of these cages meet the RSPCA minimum dimensions. I would opt for something bigger if I had the choice.

Hmm, I don't really like either cages mostly because of their sizes. They are both really tiny The abode is bright and colourful which is nice but again I would be put off by the size as its too small for one dwarf let alone two :/

Why not search around the housing forum here to check out some much better cages The minimum size for two hams is 70x40cm (LxW)

Neither, they're both too small! If you're looking for something that means you can see them, why not get a tank?

I saw that Rosewood Abode on ebay today and thought..."WHY WAS THIS MADE?!" It's super small. The Favola is a wee bit better but still quite small. When you think about getting cages, think space

[KatiePillow]

Just thought I'd add - the reason people say the adobe is so small is that the base slopes right in, so there's little usable space in the bottom.

But I also just realised that your title pluralised dwarf, and neither cage is really big enough for two dwarves. You're looking for something with a large footprint and no levels etc

I'm afraid I agree with everyone here. I'd not use either for a pair - there just isn't enough space in those cages for two.

if you are getting a pair from a pet shop theres a nice tank pets at home sell for £40, its 73xcm by 30 by 40 high, would be perfect for a pair, I got one recently, and pleased to bits with it.

sorry, i'd have to agree with everyone.

Neither of those cages are big enough for two dwarfs and you need a cage without levels for them.

A tank or bin cage would be a better idea, but look around the housing section for more ideas
