What kinda cage?????

Question

sry if i didnt make it clear what kind of hamster i am getting.... it would be one syrian (teddy bear hamster) and I probably wouldnt get tht spacific cage I showed u in the link.

Answer 1

i think you should get a 20L tank or something close in size. toppers can hurt a hammie's feet. unless you get the plastic shelving kind or cover the floors. then it's alright. the cage you show is a good height but not enough floor space. you could also do something like this

or http://www.petguys.com/-045125602100.htm... though if you could get bigger, you should. what kind of hamster are you getting? syrian or dwarf?

edit- since it's a syrian i'd honestly say nothing with a lot of tubes. my guys always ate them and syrians get big to squeeze through. they can do it but it is really tight. your best bet either the second link i posted or your idea of a 10 and topper. though i'd suggest something other than cardboard. that'll get nasty fast under pee. you could use fleece and just wash it.

Answer 2

Get a Crittertrail Z cage.

It's actually very easy to manage and it lasts for a long time.

Your hamster will love it too, mostly because of the optional attachments and removable ball.

Answer 3

i person ally think you should do this:

1. buy the tank topper

2. stop! don't buy the tank because you need a 50L tank

3. instead buy a low rubbermaid tub http://img.nextag.com/image/Rubbermaid-C... no lid

4. put the cage topper on that!

Answer 4

I think you should jest get a cage. The tank toppers are made of metal or wire, which can hurt your hamsters feet. If you get the topper, then you would have to lay some newspaper of padding down so her feet wont get caught or bruise. That can really be a pain though, so I think a plastic cage is much better. They one in the pic is nice, also look at the crittertrail cages at petsmart & petco.
