Hamster Mail
I’m looking at an oober cute hamster cage on ebay for Catnip.
Her cage is old and starting to slowly fall apart, it’s been a good cage and lasted me nine years through a total of one deer mouse and two dwarf hamsters but it’s time for a replacement.
The problem is the new cage I’m looking at has bars. Catnip is only two inches long and can squiggle through a tightly closed fist. She’s a robo hamster which in lamens terms = the smallest hamster you can get. She’s beyond tiny.
So I had to email the seller of said cage to request that they measure the spacing between the bars. The cage is nice, it’s tall with two stories a sleep house, water bottle, food dish, wheel and pull out cleaning tray but safety always comes first.
Now I’m just waiting on a response and I really hope they humor me in my request as I really want this cage, it’s a good size. More than enough room for catnip to romp around in and the price is phenomenal coming to a total of $22.15 including shipping. You can’t beat that, literally. If you go to a pet store you won’t find a cage lower than $35.00 and the size of those cages are nothing compared to this one unless you convert a fish tank.
*crosses her fingers* here’s hoping Catnip will get her present. Wish me luck!
