Lovely cage

I love the wooden stuff it looks awesome - could even be part of the furniture

HI,

I love these cages, and have been looking at the ones on zoo plus for a while. However my only worry is that the hamster would just chew the wood and the cage would be a mess within a few weeks, do you find this with your hamster? The base looks like its coated in something? Do you find it easy to clean? I'm debating between this and an ovo system (I have syrians so would be a loft and a suite and a maze) but I have lot of the wooden hamster playgrounds and I want a cage I can fit them into, as my hammies love these.

thanks for the review, and am glad to find a wooden one that is cheaper than the zoo plus ones!

hello again,

one more question, what is plasti-kote? Is it so you can paint the wood? would that stop chewing cos my daughter keeps asking for a pink cage but i HATE rotastack ones! So this would be an ideal compromise! Sorry for all the questions, but i've spent a fortune on hamster cages and really want to get it right this time!

thanks!

yes plasticote is to paint the wood and it comes in a range of colours!
Similar to paint but it makes wood waterproof so it can be wiped clean and won't get stained by hammy pee

Availible at most D.I.Y stores or even on ebay/online

Sorry i don't know anything about this cage but hopefully someone will help soon

Thanks for your reply, I have just ordered 5 different colours off ebay so the kids can go wild. I think I'll paint the shelves all one colour and the kids can paint the houses how they like. I also did a deal with petsvalley and agreed an affordable price for 2 of the cages and postage (they now put a reserve on auctions, so no chance of winning one at £21!) Still would love to know how Fiz's cage is doing after a bit of hammy use! Also brought a hanging tube to join the 2 top shelves, a hanging nest, some of the wooden bell steps like what fiz has in hers, and a hanging ladder for each of them. Also considering one of the wooden slide thinies by trixie, but might see how much room is in the cages first! I'm very excited!!

This review is from about a year ago, but I cannot find this cage anywhere. Was this a limited small amount edition sold by this eBay seller, or are these cages produced by a brand I overlooked? If anyone could point me in the direction of this or similar cages, it'd be wonderful!

This looks like such a fab cage

I've just learned from the petsvalley seller that a limited number of these cages was imported from China and has since been sold out. He has not restocked them because of low popularity

The seller does not know the brand.

Thats a lovely home for any hamster. A bit annoying that they no longer stock these cages, ah well will have to find another
