Hello! Basically I'm feeling really broody lol. I have a spare zoozone sitting there, and I'm looking for ideas of something(s) that I could maybe have in there. I also have a exo terra faunarium, if that can be filled up with anything, other than a snake. I've had APH before, and I'm still thinking of maybe getting another, but I just want to know if theres anything else I could think of putting in there?

I'm open to anything, if you guys can think of anything that can be housed in any of the two- please let me know!

Thanks, Brooke xx

You could keep a Syrian Hamster in the ZZ2 if you were able to mesh the lid.

anything else...................

My hoggys live in a zoozone2. But I think its a waste for a syrian to go in it.
Maybe a guniea pig or two.

I would say have a look around the net at animals and see what you like, then see if it will be a good home for it.

It's not really a waste for a Syrian. Considering the minimum is 80x50cm. It's definately too small for guinea pigs. :2thumb:

24 x 12 x 12 inches is the min for a syrain. By recomedation only as long asa cage has enought enrichment it doesnt matter how big/small it is. As long as its not teenie tiny of course.

I dont think it is. most people i have spoke to who keep pigs have said they do better in a cage that size than anything bigger :2thumb:

Different people have different opinions though

 

[SnickersTheFirst]

Hmm...even the RSPCA recommend bigger than that:

The RSPCA recommend that the minimum size of cage for a Syrian hamster should be 75cm x 40 cm x 40 cm. (29 ½ inches x 15 ¾ inches x 15 ¾ inches).

But as you said, everyone has a different opinion.

I found that on the internet who said they got there info from the rscpa

I had Roborovski hamsters-they were really cute and my son loved them

Our 4 sanctuary guinea pigs are in a cat pen that measures 9ft x 4ft(inluding the house) and they use all available space.
We have just taken in 2 syrian hamsters and one of them came in a tiny rotastack, one small round house with a tube to the bed at the top, shes now in a large cage and appears to be agoraphobic

Poor thing. It's probably where she's been in a tiny cage for so long.

I am not surprised bless it one rotasack is not big enough for anything.Maybe several tubed together at a push but one yuk. I think because its called a starter home people think its ok.
