Am in love with this cage! Min is looking over my shoulder as I type and she looks like she's in agreement xD

It's definitely worth the money! Just one air of caution is as Whitehologram stated as well, some hamsters are a bit cautious about the ladders, and secondly with all the wood around they may have a tendancy to chew the wooden floors too, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem as it's possible (and oddly I found it quite easy) to curb that habbit.

I would love to see more pics of this with a 30 cm wheel in it!

Mine has a 27cm wheel in it now but I have a 12" silent spinner on the way so we'll see soon what it looks like with a 30cm

Wonderful. I was thinking about using a saucer, have you heard anything about those? I've looked on youtube but it kind of seems like they run weird on them.

Personally I dont like the look of them but I know a lot of people do like them for cages that don't have the height needed for a bigger wheel...but then they take up a lot of floor space.

But who knows, maybe I'll end up getting one of those too. I seem to have a hard time not buying hammy stuff.

I've just picked one of these up off ebay for £12 odd

- Was advertised as having 1 cracked corner, but by the time it arrived all 4 corners were cracked lol - Still with a bit of waterproof good quality gaffer tape later its looking good

Just need to plastikote the shelving etc. now and should be good to go.

My 2 Chinese girls are the only 2 hamsters i have still in smallish cages (Mini Duna) so one of them will most likely get this and also picked up a Duna Fun "Conversion Kit" from

Small Pet Clearance : DUNA FUN CONVERSION KIT - Turn a Mini Duna into a Duna Fun! : www.EquineCanineFeline.com the place to buy all your Pet Products, Horse Products and Pet Supplies online

for £12.99 + p&p

which the other one can have her cage upgraded to. There seem to be some kits left atm if anyone else is looking to do the same.

My leon arrived today. I won't unpack it until tomorrow after work but i'm wondering if it was easy to put together and i can't quite work out from looking how the shelves are put in

I'm plasti-koting at the weekend. Yours will probably be done before mine. I've also got some bamboo bbq sticks comng to reinforce the ladders!

The cage comes with a bag of metal "pins" you put the pins in their holes on one side of the shelf and then put it into the cage (resting it on the bars at the level you want it. You then (though the bars on the other side) insert the pins on the other side of the shelf.

Along the edges of the shelves there are 3 holes (on each side) and you have little metal pins. You have to tap them in once you have the shelves in the right spot.

It's best if you have some pliers for if you need to pull them out if need to change the height of the shelf for whatever reason.
