What is the best cage for the dwarf hamster?!

[katmick]

Ok...so I have decided and I am going to order Alaska for my WW Florie. She is very tiny,but I love the cage,the side access of the door and the size of the door. If the gaps are too big I am going to mesh them or close them off with see-through coroplast strips attached by cable ties. What do you think?
...I can not have her escape..we have two dogs and a cat...

I think she'll be fine in there, not to mention she'll absolutely love all the space! The big front door is a real plus with the Alaska imo, makes it so easy to get to your ham without being at all threatening to them, easy to get things in or out without having to take the cage apart too.
I think the coroplast strips is a good idea, might be easier than meshing but I don't think you'll have any problems with Florie unless she's really tiny.

Oh I can't wait to get it and set it up all for her! Poor thing,she is still in her tiny plastic aquarium (but at least she is ok,healthy and alive - she would so badly injured and nobody would nurse her in the pet store,so she would most likely gone over the rainbow bridge if I didn't take her home).
I can't wait to give her a home she deserves! Thanks for all your help!
P.S. I saw your hanging baskets Cypher and I LOVE THEM SO MUCH! Hope I can get hand on them for Florie. Thanks again for all your help!
