hamster C&C

[mncavylover]

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

Good luck on building the cage(s)!!! =)

 

[mncavylover]

Great! Have you finished it yet? Keep me updated! =)

just to let you know,

syrains have to live apart. One per cage. Dwarfs can live together though

Cant find any smaller grids here in Ottawa Ontario anyone got ideas of something within an hour radius of me.Cause im lazy and dont wanna have to double the grids up lol. acutally nevermind my gf and me are going out tommorow and buying more grids I'll get some pics up by this weekend for hammy cages.[/QUOT


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 (lol) (bad joke)......

I heard that too. Syrains cant stay in same cage.

Well im not gonna be building it for another couple days since the store i buy my coroplast at is doing renovations lol.Hopefully by tuesday i get done .

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 lol) 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.

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.

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.

 

[Furkidsmommy]

Does anyone have pictures of hammy cages made with cubes?

 

[lilouisianagal]

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

I'd really like to see it.

 

[loves2travel]

oh me too! i love pictures!

 

[bunnyluv17]

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