I have a Dremel with discs for cutting plastics and metal. I've cut metal before and plenty of plastic making bin cages.

I'm now thinking along the lines of using a front or top panel with a door from an Alaska then cut the top of a Plaza to size and attach the Alaska panel securely with cable ties.

I still wished i could get a strong, solid cage like a Hamster Heaven in a bigger size instead of a foldaway job like the Alaska and Plaza.

What's the Mamble 100 cage like that's shown on this website?

That has always been my wish - a 100cm hamster heaven. The Savic Plaza was supposed to be that! That's what Savic said when they had plans to make it. But it's not quite.

The Mamble was very popular at one time when there weren't many 100cm cages and it wasn't that expensive. The downsides are the height. It is very tall. Some people also said it was a bit flimsy/a bit of a pig to put together and the doors were very stiff. It went out of popularity more when the 100cm Barney came along (not so tall, narrow bars, more floor space and similar price). People had quite a few issues setting up the mamble safely, due to the height (although with those perpex bedding barrier things that might be easier now!). In some cases it got very expensive having to buy a lot of extra shelves. Hammocks weren't enough to prevent falls.

Or what about instead. A Ferplast Criceti 100 - and put a door on the front The whole top already comes off. As it's so hard to find cages bigger than 100cm I had been remembering the Carlos cage (two 98cm cages on top of each other basically - connected). And it was while looking for that I came across the perspex panels for the Plaza. Sadly you can only get the Carlos cage in Germany now - they won't ship to the Uk either.

Actually I quite like the idea of the Criceti 100 with a door put in the front. It's not a 120cm cage - it's actually only 95cm - but it's quite deep at 57cm deep! And 50 high. Not cheap though.

Thanks for that info. That would be a no go for Clive who is a climber.

Ah! Another no go. I couldn't quite make out the doors in the photo.

Actually I really like that idea! A criceti 100 with a small door added to the front. I think even I could manage to add a smaller door that fits between two of the thicker bars. If I had a small door! Guess you'd have to buy a cheap second hand cage for the doors. It has a huge top opening already. It's probably the biggest hamster barred cage there is. 95 x 57.

What I could never work out - with taking a door off one cage to fix to another, is how to uncurl the tough metal at the bottom where it hinges on. And then curl it back up again.

Or this. Always fancied one of these. A cross between an eco habitat and a barred cage. 100cm by 71.5cm deep by 61.5cm high (not as high as that as height includes wheels). Except for the wood maybe and chewers. Although could be reinforced inside.

So frustrating when they won't ship to the Uk any more! It's actually in stock at Zooplus germany but they don't ship to the Uk any more!

I had the Criceti 50 and didn't know they do a bigger one.

I attach stuff to the roof though. Still, need to think about this one as a possibility.

Never seen that Skyline one. That's an interesting one. It is possible to get similar ones like the Karat 100 but very pricey, that's if they are still available.
