You could make one, but you'd have to double-grid or use those little mesh grids. Hope I could help! =)

I made a C&C cage for dwarf hamster and I used regular cubes but bought screening from a hard wear store, and used zip ties to secure it to the inside of the grids. I got 20 ft of screening for $9.99. Worked great and my hamster never escaped. It was the Teddy Bears hamsters I had a problem with, they are like houdini () (bad joke)......

Oh you could make a 2x8 C&C cage and divide the cage like this- 1x1x1x1 basically a cube for each siberian hammy. And then you could make upper levels for them too. I know a 2x8 sound rather large but since you have so many hammies that you rescued. Or you could make a 2x4 with a 2x4 upper level if space is an issue. Let us know how the cage turns out. the bottom 2x4 level could be for the syrians (or whatever they are called I forgot already ) then the top could be for 14 dwarfs you rescued. You would have to divde up the place where the syrians will be living, but the dwarfs can live together.

Re: hamster C&C
I know tons about hamsters, and not a whole lot about guinea pigs, that's why I came here, I'm interested in them too, but I'd like to see a picture of your C&C cage you made for your hamsters, and if you have any questions about hamsters I can answer just about anything, I have been researching them for the past couple of yers.

Re: hamster C&C
yup I made one for my siberian, but i used the [old] small grid (from Target) and I used the cable ties because I thought that she could probably slip out if I used the connectors.

Re: hamster C&C
If I had a camera I would take pics. Oh wait....I think I have a disposable one around here somewhere, then I can scan them in--if my scanner is feeling amicable that is! =P

Re: hamster C&C
a hamster C&C would probably look a lot like a rat C&C. There are pictures of rat cages in the photo gallery
