Show me your Habitrail OVO cage setups?

Question

I recently received a large amount of OVO parts for a gift because I am getting a hamster soon. Actually, I might not use them all, I have a lot of parts and it would take a while to clean, I am not sure, but I would like to see the ways you have set up your OVO cages for inspiration so I can make an original and unique setup to keep my hamster happy

Answer 2

The OVO cages are the dumbest cages I have seen yet.

They are waaayyyy too small for even a dwarf hamster, let alone a syrian hamster. No matter however many extensions you get, the largest part of the cage (the main part) is only large enough to be a temporary carrying case for an hour or so.

They also have very poor air circulation. When housing rodents, one thing to avoid if using a glass aquarium. This is because the air flow is limited to only going through the top, and pnemonia is able to build up inside the cage for your hamster to breathe in. The only air that gets into the OVO comes in through a few tiny holes located around the top. This is NOT adequete for the animal.

You need a proper wire cage. Here are some examples of a safe and spacious cages. You can buy something like these, and use OVO extensions to connect to it. Or just use the main OVO as a carrying case and somewhere to place the hamster while you clean the actual cage, or something.

Edit: Like I said, you can try to see if they could be attatched to other types of cages. Another idea would be to use them as a plaything. You can buy a playpen, and leave the hamster in there to roam, and just put in some tunnels for him toexplore in.
