9234cm ² in the Expedit for Roborowski
Christian from Nienburg (pauleentenmann@yahoo.de) has send me these photos of his home-built enclosure Expedit. The enclosure consists of two floors, a scattering plane with 139cm x 38cm with a Tiefstreubox of 33.5 cm x 38 cm x 33.5 cm (WxDxH) and an additional layer of sand 104cm x 38cm . The total size is therefore nearly a square meter (9234cm ²) . The enclosure serves as a room divider.
located on the upper floor there is a Rodipet granite / house, pieces of cork, a willow bridge, a Rodipet granite / potions, stones, mangrove roots, moss, grass tubes and a grass nest and the main house and the 27cm WodentWheel wheel on the Tiefstreubox. In the sands days there is a Hugro birch hiding with a removable roof, pieces of cork, Stones, a second multi-chamber House of Rodipet and a second Rodipet granite / potions.
The stairway to the upper floor consists of a long willow bridge that is lined with cork pieces side to the hamster from the top of the stairs can not fall sideways.
On one side of the enclosure there are sliding doors. The front also narrow front was cut out and window used. The resulting voids in the thick, hollow side wall of the Expedit were sealed and protected the edges with aluminum profiles to nibble.
Ventilated
is the enclosure from the top and a narrow side on grille, through holes in the permanently installed viewing windows at the front narrow side and the side facing the sofa, and through holes in the doors. In addition, a perforated plate was in the guide rail of the sliding doors found on the lower floor to ensure air circulation. The enclosure is illuminated by "diode" LED strips from IKEA .
Christian from Nienburg, Germany sent me these photos of the Expedit hamster cage he hacked for his Roborovskii dwarf hamster "George". The upper level is 4'7" x 1'3" (139cm x 38cm) and the lower level with the sand area is 3'5" x 1'3" (104cm x 38cm) . The total floor space is almost 10ft square .
The upper level contains a "Granit+" house by Rodipet (which has a granite roof so the hamster has it nice and cool in the summer), cork, a willow bridge hideout, a water bottle, stones, mangrove roots, moss, grass tubes and nests. The main sleeping house is above the digging box and carries the 10" Transoniq WodentWheel .
The sand level contains a birch hideout with removable roof, cork, stones, another house and another water bottel. Access to the top level is via a long willow bridge to which Christian attached cork pieces as "railings" so the hamster can't fall from the upper part of the ramp.
The cage has sliding doors on one side. Additional plexi glass has been added to the back and the small front. Ventilation is via vent covers on the top and small back of the cage, several holes in the plexi glass and sliding doors and covers of additional wire mesh that has been put into the tracks of the sliding doors of the lower level. Lighting is realized with "diode" LED strips by IKEA .

Detolf Showcase for Robo Casimir
User Casimir19 from Forums holds her Grey-dwarf hamster Casimir in this IKEA "Detolf" showcase . The cabinet is 163cm x 43cm large and can be easily converted into a terrarium by tilting. Thus, the glass panel, which has previously formed the rear wall and now serves as a floor does not sag and must break the Showcase will be supported under the glass and the glass surface plane. This cabinet is a convenient method to a large terrarium pools come. (All photos courtesy of Casimir19.)
find the right part of the exhibit is an underground house, on which a 20cm RoboWheel (available for example. In Rodipet ) is a Heuberg, a birch tunnel and a grass nest. Perpendicular established pastures bridges separate from the large sandy area with chinchilla sand in the center of the cage. Grey-dwarf hamsters need as desert animals, a sand area, like here in the pen about 1 / 3 should represent the total area.
are in the sand area, a rodent root (Mangrove) and other birch tubes, tlw . filled with treats (available eg. as' Active Birky "at Rodipet ). To the right of the sandy area with other pastures bridges and board is disconnected.
is in the right part of the exhibit is a deep litter area with small animal litter mixture of hay, hay, and several cork tubes one more house. The depth of litter in the right pane is just under 30cm . Millet and maize are used as "food experience". serve as a candle holder cups "Glimma" IKEA . The enclosure also has a cover made of aviary wire (not shown), so can not escape the hamster. The back of the enclosure was (outside) embellished with aquarium film.
And that's the little people: Roborowski dwarf hamster Casimir.
User Casimir19 from the German Tierforum repurposed this "Detolf" IKEA glass-door cabinet as a terrarium for her Roborovskii dwarf hamster named Casimir. The cabinet is 64 1/8" x 16 3/4" (163cm x 43cm) . On the right hand side is a "subterranian" house, an 8" Transoniq RoboWheel , hay, a birch tunnel and a grass nest. The big sand area in the middle of the cage is fenced off with willow bridges. The sand area with Chinchilla sand contains mangrove root and further birch tunnels, some of them filled with hamster food. Roborovskii dwarf hamsters are desert animals and should have a big sand area as shown here (rule of thumb: about 1/3rd of the cage with sand).
On the right hand side is a deep bedding area with wood shavings mixed in with hay. The bedding depth in this area is up to 12" . The right hand side also contains several cork tunnels, millet, corn on the cob and another house. The food bowls are "Glimma" tealight holders from IKEA . The cage also has a lid with wire mesh so the hamster can not escape. The back of the cage has been decorated (from the outside) with aquarium background foil. A "Detolf" is a low priced method to realize a big hamster terrarium.
