Ferplast Duna Fun review

[mangoandmimi]

hey, i'm new but anyway i think i can still review a cage i had.
well 2 of the same cages which lasted about a month each.
the ferplast duna fun.
heres a picture if you dont know what it is
ferplast duna fun - Google Product Search
I housed a syrian in there - i KNOOOW its not for syrians but i didn't know that cus i bought it online. the idiot there said it was perfect for syrians. well luckily i had a very small syrian. so i'm gonna do a quick review on it, briefly.



pros -
Roomy for one dwarf hamster.
nice big opening at top for very easy access, not like those tiny doors they do now!
can be transformed into a mini duna by taking the middle bit out!!
has a tunnel so can expand using other ferplast cages. but i didn't do that
easy to clean out
nice lot of accessories comes with it
shelf - extremely useful now that i dont use the cage anymore. i use it for my robo's box cage, as a shelf!!
lighweight.

cons-
extremely pricey for the size and quality
my hamster chewed out of 2 of them in a few weeks - so i went for a big rat cage with a metal base. much better value!
horrifyingly loud wheel! why don't they just suupply a silent spinner with the cages now?? WHY WHY WHY those awful squeaky things?
loud to open. which isn't a big deal, but in the middle of the night when i want to top up food it is lol.
has no handles for carrying.
should be bigger, for it to be able to house 2 DWARFS as dwarfs should live together, why make it bigg enough only for 1, when most ppl get 2 dwarfs at a time!!!??


well that from my experience, i know its a rubbish review but i am kind of in a rush lol - infact i'm trying to find a cheap base for the cage (like my hamster chewed her way out of it lol) for breeding hamsters. spare cages very useful!

will add more detail sometime soon - thanks for reading!

We house two roborovskis in these cages. They live alone and seem happy.
I'm considering upgrading the cage size in the future but we got them for £25 each with food/bedding/shavings for free and the hamsters do seem happy. Is a definite upgrade from the petshop cages they were in and from the one Skip had with his previous owner.
For a single robo I find it works ok, but I'd never want anything larger in there.
And for £25 its the cheapest cage in pets at home, which is the only half-decent petstore in less than an hours drive from where I am now. At that price I thought it was well worth the money, but I was buying for roborovski's who are pretty small. I'm happy with them, find they work really well, although I did change the wheels before putting the boys into them.
That said I got them for small animals. Would never buy for a syrian.
