Question "Natural" Cages in the US?

I'm looking for a cage with a natural sort of wooden theme for a future Syrian. I've found a couple but they have been in the UK. Does anyone know of a natural wooden sort of cage? If you don't, do you know of any good cages for Syrians sold in the US? Thanks!

well, I'm in Canada, so I get what you're saying about the US/Canada availability differences from overseas. If you don't want something with bars, I recommend a terrarium or tank, because you can put wood furnishings in it and make it look very natural. If you mean having it made out of wood, I know some people convert rabbit hutches

Have you checked the shipping charges from the UK? I find they're often very reasonable. It might be worth it to you

The Ware Natural cage series is available though, I was just looking at one not 5 minutes ago! I knew I could get it in Canada but had to check to see if you could too.

Here it is on Amazon: Amazon.com: WARE Natural Living Series Wood Hamster Home: Pet Supplies

Don't know if that's "natural" enough for you though, it's still really a plastic cage at heart

Yeah, it does But it's the only "natural" cage I can think of offhand...

I think if you want a nice cage made of wood your best bet is to find a retired carpenter who builds stuff on the side. No idea how much that would cost though.

Or you find a terrarium with the recommended dimensions and then use your imagination to make it look natural..... I actually think they look better than the cage.
