Hi guys hoping to buy a hamster in the next few weeks but after searching the interenet over the past few weeks a see more and more people are using tubs or fish tanks for the hammys
I have had a look in the pet shop & 2nd hand papers and can get a 30" long x 12" x 15" for around £20-28
So i understand i will have to buy mesh and make a lid for it and ive started buying toys so the hamster has plenty to do.
Do you think this size will be big enough for 1 syrian ?
Does anyone have any how too's or good picture of the lids of theirs that i can copy to make mine?
Thanks
Donna
Also is there any dissadvantages of using a glass tank as long as there is plenty for the hamster to do and its well ventilated?
Pets at home said i should just buy a wire cage when i visited today as they said teh hamsters like to climb but i thought that they didnt see very well and could hurst themselves if they fell form the cages and also when they bite the bars its a sign of boredom?
Sorry if you have answered all these questions before but i really want to get the right cage this time as previously i have just bought the wire ones from the pet shop and the hamster chewing the bars drives my crazy
