I will! It looks like a really great cage so I hope I can get hold of one! And wow, they have dropped the price. I em wish I could get one just now... I'm worried they will sell out

Re: Check This Out!
Wow that cage looks amazing! I had been planning on buying the Hamster Heaven cage for my soon-to-be hammy since I've seen positive things about it from several people here, but I might get this instead... Any thoughts anyone? This one is a little bigger too!

Re: Check This Out!
Personally, this is a better option than the Hamster Heaven. It also has 8mm bars, so potentially suits all the hamster species and not just Syrians. Narrow bars usually also prevent bar chewing. I owned the Savic Mickey 2XL cage for my Syrian but I wish this cage had been at this price when I was looking!
Like the Barney cage on Zooplus, it has similar access and is big with narrow bars. So I can`t see anything negative at all with this cage. There are not many narrow barred cages out there for under £60:00 either, so I would say go for it.
And thanks for pointing that descriptor out chinesehammy! Well spotted! Chuck the wheel, but keep the wooden accessories!!

Oh thank you! I hadn't thought about the narrower bars at all, but it does sound like a much better option! It would be easy to add in shelves etc too wouldn't it?
I'm waiting until I get paid at the end of the month to buy a cage, but I think this is definitely the best one I've seen!

Re: Check This Out!
Adding shelves would be the same for any barred cage. I suppose it depends on the attachments used. Hooks, screws and washers etc...
A member on the mouse forum I am a member of has just ordered one for her wee mice!

Re: Check This Out!
I was having a close up look of the cage (trying to see how the doors work!) and I noticed there are gaps at the corners? It's hard to tell if they're the same spacing as the bars though since I'm using my phone just now. Would this be a concern?
Tried to attach a picture of the bar corners so hopefully it worked!

Re: Check This Out!
Those side-bar spaces are not normally wide. They can be on cages with wider bar spacing in general, but on this cage, I would imagine they are narrow. Looking at that image, this seems to be the case. What I always did when I suspected a slightly wider gap, was to take a cable tie and pull the bars tightly together to pull the bars closer together. This isn`t required normally, but on some cages, the manufacturing process can sometimes differ from cage to cage. I would be confident that these spaces are not worrying. x

Re: Check This Out!
Ah, cable tying the bars is a great idea! Thank you for answering all my questions! Sorry about hijacking your thread a little... I'll definitely be buying this cage at the end if the month!
