Rody Cavia

[kenny]

Hi

Does anyone have the Savic Rody Cavia for their hamsters?
Im getting mine this afternoon for fred after deciding that his bin cage was getting very old and I felt he needed more space. (He's a big hamster-- not fat, just large :S)

If anyone has it what do they think of it?

I have this - I used it for a short time for my hamster but eventually upgraded his cage to a bigger one. It's ok - but the bars on the top are too far apart for a Syrian so you'll have to mesh them to prevent escapes.

If you use the space wisely it will be fine. The main thing is to devise some sort of shelf; a house with a flat top on would do or construct your own from pieces of wood. You'll need a shelf for food etc and it makes far better use of the space as there is no actual shelf in the Rody like there is with the Rex-style cage.

I've got the metre long one, I like cages that size for WW colonies. I tend to add a lot of wooden log bridges and flat roofed houses etc to give them lots to do.
