Should I bin old rotastak stuff?

I have been given a whole bin bag of rotastak stuff, base unit and lots of little 'rooms' and loads of tubes, I have read loads of bad reports and it looks fiddly to
clean, is there anything in your honest opinion I can use it for or shall I bin it (plastic recycling bin)

Re: Should I bin old rotastak stuff?

I wouldn't use it as an actual cage but the tubes and smaller houses can be used inside a mouse/small hammies cage.

Re: Should I bin old rotastak stuff?

only thing i use rotacrap for is for hospital cages (the kidney pods only)
rather then binning them you could donate them to a rescue as spare emergency housing

Re: Should I bin old rotastak stuff?

If you have gerbils I've seen quite a few impressive posts on here where people have attached them above tanks and made them look like quite a nice home (and gerbils don't tend to need a big clean out as often as hamsters). I wouldn't personally throw them out just in case. I have an awful, tiny, little cage that I bought of ebay ages ago and it looked bigger in the picture. Still I haven't thrown it because I've had to do a last minute rescue once before and so it has served as a very temporary home whilst I was out shopping for a new home. You never know what's around the corner. And I would rather have an emergency cage at hand just in case. Better a little friend spends a couple of hours in a small cage than being in worse situations.

Re: Should I bin old rotastak stuff?

I dunno, whenever I've bought them off ebay they've had a note to say that they should not be used as a cage on its own. You could always write that.
Tbh people are going to buy/use it wether you sell it or not, there is loads of rotastak out there. My hammy loves his and you do get people that are responsible with it

Re: Should I bin old rotastak stuff?

Thanks for your help. It's gone into the loft, whilst I decide what animals to get next, my last 2 rescue ratties have both died now so down to 1 dog and 2 rabbits.
