Re: Should I bin old rotastak stuff?

I hate rotastack, it's all about humans and not animals. I would really hate to be a hamster cooped up inside that smelly plastic crap.

As someone else says, stick it on ebay & donate the money to a shelter or to a local small animal rescue.

Not sure about selling it though in case someone tries to use it just as it is despite the warnings, -a neighbour was going to get rid of it on freecycle and I didn't want a poor little hammie to suffer.

Re: Should I bin old rotastak stuff?

I don't know why someone would want one of these 'cages' anyway they are impossible to clean from what I've heard. Maybe sell or donate the usable pieces and bin the rest.

Re: Should I bin old rotastak stuff?

Another option, rather than sell and donate the money is donate the stuff to RSPCA. It's not great but the one near me was using a (in fairness quite big) rotastak cage for the mice they had because they rely on people's donations. I know it's not ideal but the RSPCA often are rescuing animals in much worse conditions than a poorly made cage e.g. abandoned animals that are on the brink of survival. And it's usually a temporary arrangement.

Re: Should I bin old rotastak stuff?

You could always find someone you know uses it well and offer it to them rather than binning it. Or, as suggested, offer it to a rescue as emergency housing and transport cages.

I use rotastak myself and I think it definitely has it's uses. I have a whole bunch of it attached to a large tank for my gerbil and she loves it.
I won't be keeping any more gerbils after she dies so I'll probably give the whole lot to someone who I know would use all of it and bother to clean it.
