Don't you think most cages these days are aimed with kids in mind anyway??

All i'm saying is that the Ovo is nothing like say the ferplast flipper which is such a novelty cage, it should be banned.

One of my hamsters loves to chomp at the wires in his cage, he has plenty of gnawing items and is let out to roam about frequently. The problem is, his cage is on part of my desk in my office at home where I sit, so as soon as he sees me sitting there he wants me to let him out to roam around the desk. The more I let him out the more he wants to come out.

I'm going to change his cage to another one for that reason alone.

As for the Ovo, well its personal choice and I would never want to see a hamster in too small a living space, so thats why you need all the additions; its not suitable by itself for a fully grown hamster, but I challenge anyone to tell me which cages out there are suitable for a hamster without adding attachments!

I dont like any of the cages sold in pet shops, i personally think they are cruel and far too small for a syrian!

Heres mine, dimensions 80cmx60cmx60cm (huge!)




bought from a company in germany on ebay, total cost with shipping about the same as a plastic rotastak, soooo easy to clean, big and looks nice

I'd walk right up to Heaven, And bring you home again.

Thats an awesome set up!!

Some one else has just bought one of them and wasnt sure about putting hamsters in it but im sure after seeing yours they will go for it

Glad you posted that Crofty Can you clear up the confusion as to how easy it is to maintain this cage pls? Does the pee soak into the wood and stink the whole place out? lol
Also, the pull out drawer, how do you pull it out? Being that all the built in climbing stuff sits on the floor of the cage? Does it all dismantle easily so you can pull the tray out?

I mean I usually use my Dyson to hoover out my cages. Being that it's bagless I just suck it all up, empty it straight into a carrier bag and that's job done. Less than 5 minutes start to finish except on the days I disinfect everything.

I once did that with a rat cage then my dad had a right go at me because i blocked the vac up and all i could do was laugh because of my stupidity

LOL! Takes a lot to block up my dyson (baby wipes, socks, etc etc!!) Wood shavings and shredded paper aren't a problem for it

Thanks for the laugh though, I needed that after the day I've had

Well I think there are a good few cages out there, but I hate plastic looking cages so I opt for ones like these. I just buy a normal dwarf cage, take the cage top off and have a friend make me the glass tank to match. Other than that I just use aquarium tanks.

My hamster is litter tray trained, he always goes in there but the drawer has a protective coat at the bottom that you can wet wipe easily. The climbing stuff should be built over the drawer so it doesnt go to the floor so you can pull the drawer out. The steps are on a hinge so you can lift them up. I have never dismantled mine to be honest have never needed to. I use the hoover too, charlie does all his poos in one corner and all his weeing in the litter tray so i cleaning out is very easy!!

I would never go back to any other cage, i adore this one and so does charlie
