My preferred hamster enclosure

[Bailey-Benji]

I have a Gabber Rex, Zoozone1, Imac Fantasy, a Rody and a ferplast Laura. (and I only have 3 hamsters, 2 of which live together )

I'd definitely recommend the Rex, Zoozone (mesh didn't take much effort - just cut it to size and attached it with cable ties) and the Imac Fantasy. They are roomy and the hamsters love them!

I bought my ZZ from ebay, so it was in second hand (but still useable condition) but then my Mum broke all the clips that held the wire grill on, so I'm currently looking for an imac extension so Marley can move into my un-used Imac Fantasy.

I'd say the Laura and Rody are okay, a bit on the small side though.

Not sure how to vote actually...

As we're robo owners i think we have a slightly different perspective on hamster cages then most other hammie owners. Our robos live in a Rody hamster which we love. It has sufficient space (although we would prefer it to be a bit bigger), gives excellent access for picking up speedy little rascals and it's a doddle to keep clean.

Having said that, we love the imac fantasy cage which we have with 1 extension for our 2 mice. Although we have never kept hamsters in it I do think it would make an excellent hamster cage. Don't think it would be suitable for little robos and am not convinced that all syrians would cope in it (have a friend who's son has a very large syrian and am not sure he could get up the tubes!). Reckon it's be good for dwarves though. Just love the way it can be expanded as necessary.

My hamster won't live in anything but his Pennine Rat Starter Cage so I have no reason to bother wasting money trying to get him anything else. Dwarfy seems happy in his miniduna- much better than a cage.

I'm not sure how to vote either

I bought the Savic Rody de Luxe for my two chinese then bought just the normal Rody when they had to be separated. For the dwarves i think they're great cages, easily cleaned, gives your hamster space but doesnt take over your room
Last night I just attached the two of mine together with the tubes that came with the de Luxe cage as Sour died last week I thought i would give Sweet some more space and have one cage for sleeping/eating and the other for playing in. (will try and post pictures soon)
Having not had a syrian, I'm not sure as to what cage to choose. Although going by some syrian owners, i would be more inclined to go for a tank type cage rather than a wire cage.
