Wink Jake and Elwood have a new home!
Well I haven't shown off my two beautiful winter white boys for a while.
Both are doing brilliantly, though Jake (the normal) still has a slightly bulgy eye after catching his teeth in some bars and almost popping his eye out trying to get free.

Anyway a couple of days ago I saw a new cage that I thought they might like, and one that Ive only seen photos of before. I dont know its name, but I was quite impressed with its sturdiness for the price and as I have suffered a few cage catastrophes recently (why do my hamsters always choose the same time to destroy their cages) I thought I would try it out.

So here are pics. As you can see, the 'sleeping' loft I have made into a roof-top sand bath. The one bit I dont like is the water bottle, as I hate bottles that are integral to cages, but I plan to change that, block off the hole and then attach a normal bottle.

Of course, in the main I have been told that winter white pairs should always have 2 wheels, and I do have another I can easily fit in, but to be honest, neither of them have really ever been wheel runners Rolleyes they seem to just use their wheel as a rocking chair, to sit and fall asleep in.

Anyway, sorry for the overload - but here are the lovely Blues Brothers!

Aw they look lovely T!
I keep seeing those cages on ebay and liking them but wasn't sure about the ventilation, it looks a lot better in your pics though. Hmmm tempting.

Am loving that cage I have never seen it before, I like that you have turned the sleeping bit into a sand bath.

I used to have one of those, but it also had tubes going around the back. They're good value cages - just keep them away from Pete, he managed to break both the clips on the top bits of mine trying to judge one of my hammies in petsTongue The boys are looking lovely and squashy!

Just been mooching on ebay and saw one it worked out to about £36 with p and p, very good value.
