Thanks Emma
Not entirely sure if I got the right thing but I think by the stone looking thing in the last photo you might mean this
The only other thing I think you might mean is just a lave ledge?

The plant pots are just normal unglazed terracotta pots, nothing special for hams, they do love digging in those!
I think the coconut you mean is the one that bolts onto the bars & has coir platform at the base, I can't remember where I got it from now, I should know I have a few of them lol! I will have a think about it & try to find it again though.

ETA This might be it, I got mine from somewhere else but they don't seem to do them any more but it's the same thing.

I agree Shelly78. I like the cage as well. The front door is huge!! It's so easy to clean the cage.
Thank you Shannonmcn. That's actually not a sputnik, but a lixit space pod. Same thing different company I guess.

I have this cage. You can slot the platform into the bars to keep it in place and it stays there... trust me . It is an immovable object now I have it hooked into the bars. I would show a pic but I just got a new ham and don't want to disturb him again today as he is still settling in. I'll show an example when I can!

Either mine is dodgy or i am doing it wrong I tried for 45 minutes and it would rest between the bars but did not feel very stable. I even put hamtaro in with it like that and then when I opened the lid the shelf collapsed and the ladder landed on hamtaro!!!! He was ok but after that I do not want to take any chances.

Can I also just say how amazing it has been to see my hamster in this cage! I'd been a bit worried about him over the past week in his old cage set up (largest cage only 50cm long). He had built a huge nest and had stopped running on his wheel, hardly came out to play, I'd never seen him climb or roll much in his sand! Now he's into everything, loves running about and climbing up on things and is running on the wheel and digging and rolling! It's wonderful. And this cage is easier to spot clean and to pet him. I would not go back to tube cages.

I double checked my cage vs the photos, I must have a kind of older model? The sides of my cage's shelf look different. My shelf is the exact same thickness as the width of the bars, so when it went in we had to force the bars >slightly< and they keep it in place really firmly. They were curved too so you could literally push it towards the back of the cage.

My new baby boy was so active last night in his wheel and cleaning himself, he shot around the cage, it's lovely to see them enjoy so much space . He seems to love climbing and getting into things so I am going to make huge use of all the bars available!

I about died when I saw that flower/veggie/treat kabob that you made! HOW ADORABLE!! )

Thank You

This is Grython's new cage that arrived yesterday. It's a Little Friends Grosvenor rat/hamster cage. The entire top lifts up for easy access. He did have the Mamble 100 before this but he wasn't able to get up to the higher levels so I decided a slightly smaller and lower cage would be best for him.

[Snowz]

Asuner- That seems like the little version of my Lang ham cage, I have to admit I love that the whole top opens which makes it very easy to place things. I love your set up and all the colors, very summery!

[Asunder]

Aw, thank you Snowz. I love the colours too... it's a bit girly since he's a boy but I thought purple can be kinda unisex!
