Re: Cage options
This is another 100cm option. The Ferplast Maxi Duna Multy. It's a perspex tank style and a safe cage and height. Doesn't have any front opening doors but it does have a very large door in the roof. So good access inside the cage and as it's a long cage your arm could go in at an angle so it's not so much like a hand coming from above. I do find the plaza front door not wide enough to get into both ends of the cage.

Re: Cage options
It's interesting - when I first came on here, people thought robos should only live in tanks for safety. There were very few narrow bar cages and they could get injured via falls in barred cages. Then it seemed ok to put them in a 6 or 7mm mouse spacing barred cage if it was low. Now people are keeping them in 1cm barred cages (but I think some of that is luck with robos not attempting to get through 1cm bars). I am still a bit iffy about 1cm bars. The Plaza is 0.9cm which is a bit better.

Yes the weight is a downside although probably wouldn't need to be moved often.

Re: Cage options
That wheel is temporary, waiting on an 11 inch trixie wheel being delivered.

Re: Cage options
Enjoy putting it together lol! I just got one as well and thankfully there was nothing broken. It's not that difficult to put together.
For a dwarf hamster you'll need to either make a full level, or raise the substrate to reduce the actual height - I put 8" high cardboard round the inside of the bars and had deeper substrate.
If you're going to use the green shelf I would do something to fill in the holes round the edge of the shelf. Luna stuffed bits of paper substrate in the holes. I've never heard of it being a problem but I do wonder if a hamster could get a foot caught in those big holes.

Re: Cage options
Wow lucky russian dwarf with an 11" wheel! At least he shouldn't be able to spin round the top in that.

Re: Cage options
Actually I like the idea of a full level in this cage but I get too impatient with diy.
