Rostank pink palace, Ovo and Rina the Robo

Okay so my neighbours daughter had a hamster for christmas, she got bit and now hates it, it seems to be a Robo and she is selling the cage a rostank pink palace should I keep the robo in this or move it to the ovo loft I have?

I'd probably move it to the ovo loft.
We have a load of rotastak for our syrian and I'm really not sure a robo could cope with the pink palace unless it was set up differently. Even set up differently a single kidney unit and a round one isn't really that much space.
I don't think there'd be much total space difference between the loft and the pink palace (if set up differently) but it'd probably be a lot more practical for you and the hamster if it was in the ovo loft.

Although I'm not a fan of either cage.

I think she'd be better off in the Ovo.

had to move her to the ovo anyway the rostank was full of feceas our neighbour is disgusting, anyway she seems sweet enough, got her beside my bed for now to get her used to people.
The Ovo loft is huge and great for bar chewers the Ovo snobbery is lost on me since it made Buttons so happy.

Whoops... Forgot to say that our rotastak is joined to a bin cage and will always be attatched to something giving more space, regardless of what species is living in it. If not attatched to things I'm not sure rotastak is ever suitable. Plus I'm not sure the bars in the circle would keep a robo in if she could get to them.

Plus you don't have to pay for the loft, which is also an extra good point for it.

And the rotastak sounds horrible. Am sure the robo will be much happier in the loft

(And I don't go in for the views against either, I just have realistic ideas about the rotastak. Like it, but know its downfalls e.t.c.)

OMG she has discovered the wheel and hot damned she sure can move, hamster now have more room in my room than me or the dog, yep the dog sleeps in my room to.
Any more hamsters rescued I am gonna be classed as hamster rescue XD
She is gonna love the sand bath shes never had one before poor blighters covered in mites sprayed her and she will be alright she is going to the vets tomorrow.

lol our bedroom is more hamsters than anything else too, but the hamsters are happy so its worth it

You've just hit the seven we've got, so yeah, we know the situation well. Except we don't have dogs in the flat. Just have a pair of rotties this week while we stay with my parents, and they get kept away from the hams (we can't trust one to not try and "hold" small animals, and both are so large its safer to keep them away from the hams).

I hope she does enjoy her sand bath

And good luck with the vets. I'm sure she'll be ok though, she's definetly a lot better off with you than her er... ex-owners... (Yes I chose my words diplomatically lol)

well she's had a bath, washed her feet which were bit manky from walking on sawdust and feceas, mite treatment and vitamins on her food, millet spray, god she is gonna be so pampered cancled my dvds so I got £20 for her stuff grandparents are taking me to pets at home and the vets tomorrow gonna rename her.

Let me know how she likes the OVO! I'm actually considering it for my Dora as she hasn't been very happy (to my eyes) in everything I've had her in so far, but she seems to be partial to cozy spaces with overhanging stuff and compartments. My friend has a Pad I can have, and I'd get a Loft to attach to it and some other stuff. Might be worth a try to see if she likes it. She's back in a ZZ1 at the moment =/
