It is a bit difficult because it is heavy. I have only had to fully cleaned it twice since February I have bought a mini dustpan & brush to aid me I have lined the top 2 levels with bird cage sand paper to keep their claws down so I just take the paper out & shake it into the bin & if it is soiled I replace it. I clean & rearrange their houses/food bowl/wooden logs often but the tank itself hardly gets soiled at all - & the 2 times I have cleaned it out I put it in the bath

I really love it & Im so glad I got it. When I 1st got them I had them in a Gabber cage but I could only see them if I was looking down on them, which wasn't very good! So now I can sit on the sofa & watch them zooming up & down & I like that they have a lot of space because they don't really like coming out for cuddles

Your cage set-up looks great Jenni! Just one thing ~ I think I can see some of the cotton-wool type fluffy bedding in your cage. This is dangerous to hamsters, as it can tangle round limbs and block up intestines, leading to death.

Jenni your perfecto tank looks great, i moved one of my robos into one the other day (my gerbils and other rodents have lived in it before that)

Though i find the tank very easy to clean and shower out, tipping it on the side into a bag then hovering up the remaining bits in the corners. I then take it and shower it out & dry it quite easily. I tried avoiding showering it out by just giving it a rub and changing the substrate but found that the ammonia smell soon built up.

I'm glad you posted those cage set-ups mollldoll! I buy a lot of my cages from zooplus and have been eyeing that cage up for a few months, but never could imagine what it would look like with all the bits in place! Definitely the next buy when I need one (I already have four cages yet two hamsters ).

Biscuit's new cage:



The wooden ramp has gone for now, as has her see-saw so she has more room and less things to bang into. May take down one part level when I clean her out as she doesn't really use it and without it I could put her wheel back on the stand and have more visibility of her.

Just changed.

Dwarf hamster set-up (the hamster hasn't yet arrived but will yet you know when it does!). I've taken the ramp off one side and used a Puzzleplayground set instead. I actually have two of these cages set up but they're pretty much identical.

It's a Gabber Rex:
