Thinking of changing Phoebe's cage

[Emma]

I'm thinking of changing Phoebe's cage, but I can't decide what to go for!!



This is what she's in at the moment, a Ferplast Laura - I consider it minimum standard really







She's not too fussed on the tubes any more, and I'd like to give her more floor space. I'm not sure if you can see in the picture, she has a hammock next to the shelf/above the wheel- she uses this as a "step" to get downstairs rather than go all the way around the tubes. She's not very active in her cage anymore, although is very active at out-time.



She's a big hamster (150g) and I think I'd just like her to be in a more spacious environment.



This is where the cage is - and there's no room for manoeuvre, the size of the bookcase top (60cm x 28cm) dictates the size of the cage!





I was initially thinking of putting a Paula on the shelf next to it and linking them up, but I've failed several times to pick one up cheap on eBay, and buying one new I may as well spend the money on a more spacious main cage!!!



Just can't decide which larger cage to go for.....Ferplast Rainbow & Savic Cambridge both work out around the #40 mark, a bit too much, although I've spotted a Cambridge on eBay I'm keeping an eye on. Gabber Rex is a bit cheaper abut #35 but is 10cm longer than my bookcase!!! Finally Ferplast Criceti 10 is cheapest around #28, same size as Rainbow but not sure if the ones here http://www.surreypetsupplies.co.uk/acat ... mster.html have the shelf in that the old one I've got stored at my parents has.



I could always wait until Jan when I can pick up the Criceti 10 I own from my parents........but I want now! Teehee, plus I never mind having extra cages (roll on graduation and my house of hamster!!!)



What do you guys think I should go for - do you think it needs changing??? It actually looks smaller than it is in that picture, bear in mind that's a Savic Jumbo Rolly wheel.
