now that my guinea pigs have a nice c+c cage, i have been eyeing one of their old cages for my hamster. it's got about 3/4 inch spacing in the wiring and the wiring is really strong and doesn't budge, it is not soft and pliable like some of the other guinea pig wiring i've seen. and the spacing is not as large as in the other guinea pig cage i have either, which made me wonder if i could use it, it's like a cage that is way too small for a rabbit or guinea pig but yet i wonder if it's too large for the hamster. it's not as big as a My First Home cage, the wiring and base are smaller and it opens from the top. The cover is removed via side clips that attach to the base. does anyone know the cage i mean? there are no company markings on it so i do not know the precise model.
just to try, i've had my hamster in it for about 4 hours. it has boxes and stuff so she can climb out of the base area to reach the wiring and i put a wheel in there, etc. and she was able to get into it and spin it...
...nothing fancy right now just a trial run to see if she can escape the cage. so far nothing, but then again, she may try overnight...? i know how sneaky they are and what masters they are at the art of escaping. has anybody ever successfully converted one of those crappy small guinea piggie cages into one for a hamster? it would be so nice and big for her if she could have it too.
