Help on Hamster large house

[Karen]

First, I would recommend two "houses" so you can separate the boys and the girls, so 12 hamsters does not quickly become 144! Then figure out what size space she has, and get the set-up that best fits! Tubes and tunnels and places to hide ...

Those cages would not be appropriate - they are for larger animals, and all that space between levels would be wasted with hamsters! Miss Hoppy liked her Ferret nation cage, but she was a 3-4 pound rabbit!

Maybe a couple of these type, connected with extra tubes, http://www.amazon.com/Super-Pet-Crit...s=hamster+cage

Thanks for the tips Karen, my cousin doesn't have much space now so it will be placed near the living room so it should stand strong. She might consider the single-story type that has divider then that kind of cages with tubes, at least two for the girls and boys.

What kind of hamsters are they?

Oh, the Critter Nation cage is AWESOME by the way, a great choice, especially if you can devise a way to keep the boys and girls separate.

Remember that they can impregnate the females through mesh, so a SOLID barrier is needed.
