I need good pictures of hamster cages, small but amusing?

Question

I need a cage for a hamster, a syrian to be exact.

I need something that will fit on my desk but nothing too boring. I don't want something huge and stupid, I just want a small, realistic, occupying and nice cage!

Answer 1

I found a large selection of cages at Pet-Smart

What ever cage you chose, I recommend a cage that is light and disassembles easily for quick cleaning.

Bars may not be such a good idea, because your hamster will chew on them instead of it's chew toys- which will hurt it's mouth.

If you do find a good cage that's really boring, try adding some cage accessories.

If you find a cage with low ventilation, it's a good idea to use odor absorbing bedding.

When you have tubes attached to your cage, a frightened or lazy hamster might stuff all his bedding and food in one of them, and stay in there all the time.

Answer 2

First, all three that the first person sugested are way to small for a Syrian. They need more room than it sounds like your willing to offer. They do need a *** cage and they dont look stupid. I suggest make a bin cage. They are big, cheap and fun.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Absolutely avoid those "OVO" cages. They are the dumbest product I have seen for a while. Nothing beneficial for a hamster, just looks "cool" for the younger kids that buy hamster stuff.

From my experience, I think the BEST cage that a syrian hammy can live in is also the cheapest and most convenient to clean. I used to buy large rubbermaid tubs, and attach wire mesh on the sides and top. They are really large and roomy. A hamster does not need silly tunnels and things to be happy. Just a large, spacious cage. Not to mention that it is so hard to clean those cages with all the add ons.

Here is a site on making tub cages: http://www.petwebsite.com/article_read.a...

By the way, you want a tub that is at least 2x1'.
