What's The Best Cage For A Syrian? - Page 3

For ease of access to your hamster, easy cleaning and plenty of room for toys I would go with the gabber. Most people on here really love them and I do like mine, I am just not as much of a fan as everyone else. You also have the option of taking the shelf out and putting more things in if you want to, which I have done with a couple of mine. You can hang things from the bars like Sammys mum. You would be more restricted for space with an Imac because it is a bit smaller floorspace, although you get the extra levels, but at an added cost. Either cage would make a good home for your hamster.

I'd also go for the Gabber, I think - it's easy to clean, you get a good view of your hamster and it's easy to get to ahamster you are taming.

I've got Gabbers, Imacs and a Cambridge - have you considered the Cambridge, it's a great cage?

The Cambridge is probably my favourite cage and I am sure I would also like the hamster heaven if I had room. The only reason I haven't got more than 2 cambridge cages is because they are too tall for my shelves.

The only that stopped me getting a Cambridge was the height - I didn't know how I would be able to load them all into my car!

Sammy my syrian had the rope bridge first of all and didnt pay any notice too it at all (and when he did was to big for it). But when I put it in my dwarfs cage they clambered all over it and love it.
Also as the Gabber is a relatively low cage if they fall from the top part it won't be that bad but in higher ones it could be quite serious.
Saying this I know Syrians who like it better.

Thanks for all your replies.
I hadnt really looked at the cambridge much, would you say thats a better otpion than the gabber?
Thats a superb cage sammys/mum

It's got more levels Sean - and it's a plastic base with bars, so more scope for attaching things.

It's also £39.99 SRP - something to weigh up.

Good cage though - Savic always put out some good quality.

If you are planning to get your hamster from a petshop and it is going to need taming I would probably get a gabber rex because it is much more accessible. If you are getting a hamster which has been tamed then any of the cages suggested would be good.

Well im unsure where im getting my hamster from yet! I would ideally like to get it from a breeder, but at 15 thats easier said than done, so may i end up with a pet shop one!

So i may get a gabber rex just to be on the safe side!

Where do you live, Sean - roughly? There are several upcoming litters on this forum
