Re: Is my cage engaging enough???
Hello there,
So that we can offer the most relevant and suitable advice we'll need to know what cage your hamster has and if you have any photos of the layout, that would be very helpful too.

Your cage would only equal up to around 285 sq in which is unfortunately a bit on the small side. An easy fix would be to go out and purchase a 40 gallon breeder tank as this would be a good size, especially for a robo. Plus, this will allow you to fit many more toys and much deeper bedding

I'll try and save up for a bigger tank but by only getting 5 pound a week it may take awhile :"(

It's alright! Your hamster will be okay until you're able to afford a bigger home, the important thing is that you care and are willing to make changes when you see they're needed There are lots of easy ways to earn money in a relatively short period of time. For example, you could walk a friend/neighbor's dogs. You could also offer to petsit, cut a neighbor's lawn, or sell old things that you don't need anymore! Another cheaper option for a cage would be a bin. I'm not sure where in the world you're located but there are many large bins available for relatively low prices! Why not check around at local stores? Or you could even see if somewhere like Craigslist/gumtree have listings for used tanks or large bins

I made 70 x 40 bin cages for 2 of my Russians for £13 each I got a 70 x 40 storage box from wilko for £10 and mesh for £3 (also wilko).
There's tutorials online but basically, you cut a panel out of the side or lid of the box and cover it using mesh.

Re: Is my cage engaging enough???
Would it be ok if I expanded it by connecting a bin cage ?
