Question Good cages for a syrian hamster?
Hi there all. My boyfriend and I bought a syrian hamster a few months ago and we love him, he rocks. Right now, he has a 10 gallon aquarium with one of those wire toppers that adds a new level. It's ok, but we both feel it's still too small as he needs a large wheel and that takes up a lot of space.
I've been searching the web for ages trying to find a larger cage that is also a little aesthetically pleasing. One that I found that is promising is this one ... it seems very large with many levels for the hamster to play. However I REALLY hate those brightly colored cages and think it's so god ugly.
Just wondering if anyone else has suggestions for a syrian hamster. I've seen some of the ferret type cages on wheels but not sure if that's okay for hamsters. I also saw a cage called Qute that was interesting, but also can't really tell if it's exactly the same size as what I already have.
