The following photos feature what I call my "Open-Safari Hamster
Cage" - basically a cage without bars. I used a guinea pig (the
yellow tray) purchased from Pet Lover's Center (Parkway branch) and
placed two "Hamster Dome Towers" purchased from Pets Station
(Marine Parade branch).
The hamsters are Winter White (species) Pearl Whites (coat color),
(8 in total) offspring whose parents (2 males, 2 females) were
purchased from Sam Yick (Marine Parade branch). I own several other
hamsters (kept in normal cages), including the parents of these
offspring, a couple of 'Puddings' (which are commonly believed to
be Campbell-WinterWhite hybrids) and a couple of Roborovorskis. All
1st generation hamsters were purchased from Sam Yick.
Back to the "Open-Safari Hamster Cage" (photos below), the guinea
pig tray/base used is sufficiently deep (note : I've seen cages
with even slightly deeper trays/bases for sale) such that even with
2-3 cm deep bedding (a comfortable depth of beddng for dwarf
hamsters), the hamsters are not able to climb over the walls. As no
hamster has yet escaped from this cage, perhaps I could call it the
"Open-Safari Hamster Alcatraz".
The purpose of this webpage ( http://infinity.usanethosting.com/MyHamsters) is
simply because I wanted to share this "Open-Safari Hamster Cage"
concept, not at all for want of compliments, but really only
because I enjoyed this "Open-Safari" concept so much (previously
and even after the "Open-Safari", I had used / now still use normal
hamster cages, for other hamsters that need to be separated; and
for these other cages, I've found large plastic aquarium tanks to
be superior in many ways to commercial hamster cages, both the
metal bar type and the plastic walls type), that I wanted to share
the enjoyment of such a "Open-Safari" concept with fellow hamster
lovers. There's nothing like being able to zoom in face-to-face
with your darling hamsters without any bars/plastic in
between.
On behalf of my hamsters, warmest regards to your hamsters! ^
