I have fallen in love with a dwarf albino hamster at the pet store, but don’t want to cheapen the style of my house by keeping one of those multi-colored (or bright colored) habitrails around.

I also don’t want just a glass aquarium because I want it to be interactive. I like the functionality of the habitrail, I just don’t like the colors.

…. I haven’t bought the hamster yet.

Anyone have ideas?

(i will expand this with more parts, such as the pear and lots of hideouts and mazes from habitrail)

I am getting 1 syrian golden hamster. I have heard they grow to be between 4 and 6 inches, possibly bigger. I like all of these cages but have ups and downs of each. For the 1st one, i like how there are multiple levels with not risk of my hamster falling, but is it too small? For the 2nd one, I like the overall design, but will my hamster fall from the top level and is it big enough? For the third one, I like how big and open it is. I will add more parts from habitrail, such as the pear, the den, and possibly the playground maze. My concern is that it will break because it’s plastic and it will be hard to clean…

Which one??
