the wheel on the Duna Fun Ness? Ive only had winter whites in mine - but found the wheel that comes with it drove me mad - noisy, and flimsy, wherever I tried to put it it banged on the bars, or the plastic. we ended up changing it for our girls, but have to say, we did find it difficult to fit a large wheel in ours - they slide about on the plastic shelves but wont fit on the bars. And big syrian size wheels are difficult to fit because of the shelves.

Thats just my experience though, and I love the Duna fun cage in the main - we just got a wheel on a stand and then wired the stand to the bars to keep it from sliding around.

yeah, i've had robos in one so chinese will be fine and they'll love the levels and tubes! the wheel does suck though. you can fit a regular silent spinner on the shelf on a stand.

ive taken the top shelf out with mine as it was a pain in the neck to check the water bottle. ive given louis more toys as compensatoin thougth

yeah i took my top level out, too. i could then attach a regular SS to the bars. i put my water bottle on the bars. one of those habitrail ones that clips on.

does it come with a hamster bedroom, I know its not needed but I can't tell on the website. and has anyone ordered from here before ?http://www.feedem.co.uk/

Bunsey · 05-26-2008, 09:33 AM

um, yeah it does come with a sand bath and a plastic house, but i took both of those out and used my own wooden hut and corner sand bath. it comes with rubbish Sippy Bottle that unless your hams can use (mine can't) you'll need to replace.

I've used www.feedem.co.uk twice and it was a very good service. nice 15kg bags of HH

I havent ordered from there before, but from what I remember it does come with a little house. Quite a small one, but Im sure it would be big enough for a chinese hamster

i can tell you've never had a chinese. they make bigger nests than syrians

ok thanks, well I'll order one in a few days time, I'm still waiting to get my zoozone which has almost taken 2weeks to get here but I want to set that up first.
I should be getting another gabber next week as well. and then the hamsters to go in each of them and toys!
Yay! hamsters!

also I just want to know if the bar bit can be removed if needed, it looks like it can?

sorry only joking - I haven't had chinese you are right, so am happy to be corrected - and Im not very keen on hamster bedrooms as a whole anyway
