Than can be bad for their feet. usually the wire cages have the plastic landings, though. SuperPet is a good brand for it. the walls being wire is good exercise for them, otherwise. bumblefoot is a bitch though, yes. cheap cages from the feed store are usually the ones with the wire landings that you want to avoid. bumblefoot can lead to a really nasty infection that can kill your pet, and be extremely painful up until death. i've only dealt with it in rats, but i imagine it's even more difficult in smaller rodents.

Can you imagine running in your own poop? Build a ham run. babybluebitch Posted at 6:34 pm on June 13, 2012 looks to small.

Hamsters use the bars of wire cages to help with their need to chew (they can die if they are not allowed to chew), and they are a great way for them to stay exercised. Wire cages offer the best ventilation, and are easiest to clean. Habitrails offer the least possible amount of ventilation (as you can see from the photo you posted, there is hardly any at all) and are difficult to clean and cannot be used for proper exercise. the raven Posted at 9:13 am on June 13, 2012 NO. Those habitrails are horrible for their health. Imagine living where the smell of your own urine and feces cannot escape. They need a wire cage, or a ten gallon tank with a wire cage topper to allow for the most possible airflow. ashleyacid Posted at 9:00 am on June 13, 2012 It will most likely work, I've had four types of hamsters and used a cage just like that for them and there was no issue. Bordmb Posted at 8:46 am on June 13, 2012 Are you buying Pikachu's? It looks like a bunch of pokeballs.... Okay... that was nerdy. Seravee Posted at 8:43 am on June 13, 2012 I'm looking for somewhere that lists the sizes of the tubes. Wouldn't want it to end up being too small. But I can't find anything at the moment. So did you used to have dwarf hamsters in there? Silence isnt golden Posted at 8:42 am on June 13, 2012 i cant tell the size from the pic but i like hamsters, they are cute princesslover Posted at 8:30 am on June 13, 2012 Post from this position was omitted due to content violations whats happenin Posted at 8:30 am on June 13, 2012 I don't know, but maybe reading these will help? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid= 20110523164226AA4tTjG http://www.seapets.co.uk/products/pet-supplies/pet-cages/ hamster-cages/habitrail- ovo-hamster-homes/habitrail-ovo-suite-hamster-cage.html http://reviews.petco.com/3554/106235/habitrail-habitrail-ovo-suite-hamster-habitat- reviews/reviews.htm princesslover Posted at 8:29 am on June 13, 2012 Post from this position was omitted due to content violations Most recent 15 of 15 previous replies displayed.
