chinese hamster and a rody?

Would it be ok for one chinese hamster to live in a rody?

yes, as long as you give lots of climbing toys

I've just looked on p@h website and they say a rody is ok for two dwarfs, though I'm not sure, are their sizes (hamster wise) ever right?

Is there anywhere cheaper to get a rody?

£30 seems to be the going price wherever you look, although my local garden centre recently obviously overstocked and so reduced a lot down to £10! But Ive never seen them as cheap as that anywhere else

lots and lots come up on ebay all the time. it's worth waiting. even if you hav to pay £10 postage, you can usually get them for £20 total.

Also, try checking fo "hampster" with a P cos dumb people list stuff like this excellent 99p Duna under hamPster

it's a shame that most of them are pick up only. I might end up getting one from p@h.
hamsters have been expensive this month. I would have added 7 hamsters into my house, with new cages and toys and stuff. I want to get to a point were I don't have to buy any toys and that for a while. (I don't have a campbell though, and would love one, lol)

I use Rody's for baby chinese after seperation - they're like monkey's on the roof bars

I know I said I might get a rody for a chinese but would a FERPLAST DUNA FUN HAMSTER CAGE be ok? I was just wondering if the bars are ok?

i keep one of my chinese adults in one the bars are fine for a robo

ok thats good as sometimes I change my mind on cages once I get them and tend to have loads of robos. though I think this will be good for a chinese as it can also climb on the bars a bit. Though I have a few toys in mind, whats the wheel like?
