Default Hamster Heaven Base

Sorry if this subject has come up before.

As most of you know the HH seems to be frown upon by a lot of people because of the base tapering. I know you guys are amazing with your research and I just wondered if anyone had found a better base for the cage that would fit?

I don't know of a better base that would fit, but if your hamster is happy I wouldn't worry too much about it. If you have added bedding up to the top of the base then you have a surface area that is 80x50cm, people never look at it like that.

I didn't know that the HH is frowned upon by a lot of people because of the base.

It's a great cage in my opinion and five of my dwarf hamsters happily live in Hamster Heavens.
If people don't like it they should buy a different cage then.

Sorry, this doesn't answer your question but i can't see why it matters whether it tapers or not when the base is filled up with substrate right up to where the bars start.

I know that the base of the Mickey 2XL fits the HH but i'm not sure if it tapers or not.

What exactly is the issue here for lots of people?

Ria, you see it a lot on social media, it's because it is one of the cages were the base tapers the most.

Thanks guys as always. Layla is a tiny winter white and her bedding is fill right to the top of the base. She does seem happy. She is the first winter white I have rescued and doesn't seem to tunnel like my robo or other dwarfs, she's just mad for her wheels.

I love the name Layla.

It could be that she doesn't know yet how to tunnel because many rescue hamsters never had the chance to. I had one that didn't even know what a wheel was for because he never had one.
I'm sure that she'll think her Hamster Heaven is Paradise and that she'll be very happy in there. And she has you as her human companion. Her life has just begun.

It’s an excellent sized cage for a dwarf hamster . I don’t think the base slopes any more than most cages really.
