Ah yes, it`s the Duna Multi, thanks AliKati!

I looked it up and it seems to be the same size as the Gabber Rex, but the lid bars seem narrower? Can you tell me what the bar spacing is on the lid AliKati please?

I thought about a Zoozone 2 (since she loves the space) but I would have to mesh the bars and although I`m fine with that, I would rather have a lid that doesn`t need meshing if possible.

if you have a local pet shop that has firplast cages you can ask if they have thwe magazine to order them in, mine did when i asked about the duna fun they had sold, the duna multi, and multi maxi where in there, i think the maxi is a little bigger. if you have a look on

Nice ages, thanks yazoo.

Do the multi`s have a water bottle hole or holes running along the lip of the base or in the perspex? I actually built my own water bottle holder by using the plastic insert that comes with the Gabber Rex and modified it so that it held a water bottle. So I would continue to use that if I switched to another tank stype cage, rather than use the hole provided as they are usually too high up for my liking.

My main concern would be any notches or lips running along the top of the coloured base? The Gabber Rex doesn`t have any that a hamster might discover and start to chew.

The Maxi looks huge! But I like the grills on these cages. They are narrow spaced and easily accessed.

no problem

speak to your local shops if you want one

i dont think it has a bottle hole, but i think there is a few 'nooks' between the top and bottom, like the mini duna shelf dips, im sure alikati can verify that for you.
they do look nice cages

ECF did have the Multi selling for £44.00 just recently with free postage but they have sold out or I may have been tempted. Purely just to have a same size tank with a decent lid! If the Zoozone 2 had the narrow bar spaced lid I would just have gone for a ZZ2, but I don`t want to spend money on something I would need to mesh. Prinny could reach and climb on the bars safely without me having to worry about placing books on the lid to secure it. That`s my main worry with the way things are really. The gabber Rex is a good cage, but the lid is not. I had to scrap my lid as it came very rusted over and too far gone to save. So I had to make a new barred lid from the shelves from other cages and cable tied these together to make a lid. Little did I know prinny would soon learn that this lid was easy to reach AND to escape from if I didn`t weight it down.

i wish the zz's had good lids too, i done a neat job on meshing skos zz1 (i agree the extra space is loved!) but i use a paperweight on it as it dosnt clip into its lock bit anymore, unless i have a gap along the back, as much as i dont think she would, i would prefer to use the paperweight and have it secure XD

A paper weight is good. I would like to have a nice lift up lid again and wouldn`t need to worry about access or Prinny gaining the upper hand on me again. I hate having to put books on the ends of her cage at night....

In fact, I would love to be able to hang a few ropes and things for her to play on, but I can`t do that with this cage because of the home-made lid.
