Rotastak Small Animal Housing Genus 200, Orange

Lovely cage
This is a good sized cage. I bought it for my Syrian hamster but it would also suit 2 dwarf hamsters or mice, any more and it will start getting cramped and the bar spacing is small enough too at about 8mm.
The wheel it comes with is a bit noisy so I would recommend getting a silent spinner if the cage is to be situated in a bedroom.
The bed is nice however my hamster has made her bed in a corner under the shelf so I have removed the bed making the shelf more open and spacious.
The shelf sits low down too which is good especially for hamsters as in my experience they have a habit of falling over the edge so it's not far to fall in this cage.
The tunnels are easy to put together and take apart, they come in two pieces each (overall there is 1 straight piece and 5 corner pieces) which means should the inhabitants get a little large and get stuck, the tube will come apart very easily and quickly enabling you to free your pet with little hassle, it also makes them easy...
Rotastack Genus 200
This cage is a decent size for a syrian
fairly easy to put together and base is quite deep , the blue level isnt full on sturdy but is okay.
I got this cage to extend it to another .. yet to try out .. will upload some pics
but even by itself it quite a good cage , decent water bottle but i would recomend changing wheel as it quite noisey.
Ive had countless hamster cages for syrian hamsters and recently found for the price this is a good buy if you pay round

Rotastak Dreamland Housing

Excellent! :D
This product is perfect! It took about 30-60 mins to build but it was worth it. There is easy access for YOU to pick up and handle your hamster and your hamster will not be able to get out! It is cheap and worth your money. There wasn't any missing pieces or anything.It's quite simple to build just follow the instructions:) My hamster enjoys the spaciousness and likes travelling through the tubes. She finds it simple to climb up the two vertical tubes. Its big enoiugh for my short haired syrian hamster but may not be big enough for long haired syrian hamsters. I think its worth your money cause its cheaper then the usual cages and it also contains a water spout and a food bowl ! Your hamster will love it as much as you!
Rotastak Starter hamster home
Excellent value, cheepest I found on web.Easy to put together but would recommend doing prior to purchasing the hamster, as takes a little time at first.
Easy to wash out and can remove sections. You can add on the various rotastsk extra rooms or/and equiptment.
Our hamster seems very happy in her new home.Highly recommend.
rotastak dreamland
I think this cage is pretty good, but it's too small, especially for a syrian!
and it has to be rearranged to allow dwarf hamsters/mice use the tubes
Don't buy it just because of the price, unless you intend to add to it, I bought the rotastak space command after this one, and the two together are fantastic :)

Rotastak Cosmo Pod Small Animal Housing

Great cage for a younger hamster.
This cage is perfect as a starter cage for the first three to six months, after that, I would advise purchasing a bigger cage as you'll find Syrian's can grow quite large. Having said that, it comes with everything you need to start out with, apart from food and wood shavings which you'll have to buy separately. The best thing about rotastaks is that you can purchase ANY cage in the range and add it on. So, if you don't fancy buying a whole new cage, you can start adding on extensions, which kids will certainly love as there are so many different extensions to choose from! With this cage, you get a bowl, a water bottle and a wheel. :) Perfect to start off with!

The only downfall of most rotastaks, if not all, if they are NOT suitable for any smaller breed of hamsters; that goes for roboroskis, Russians and Chinese dwarf hamsters. I would also not advise this for a gerbil and it's firstly too small and they'll be able to chew out of it within a few hours.
Good as an extension!
I bought this as an extension to the other four Rotastak sections I own, NOT SUITABLE AS A CAGE ON ITS OWN. As an extra bit of room for my two dwarf hamsters though, it's been excellent. More floor-space than I expected, so plenty of space to run and dig, although some wood shavings do make their way through the barred section so be prepared to have to clean this up fairly regularly. Also my dwarfs can't reach the shelf level so I've left it out. The bars are well-spaced, not too big for Russian hamsters to squeeze through - though I would be very hesitant about keeping Robos or mice in it.
Not for mice
This product clearly states it is suitable for mice, within hours of having put my 2 mice, pinky and the brain, in the cage one escaped (the brain). It took me and my partner 2 and a half hours to get him back. Its a nice looking cage, its big enough for a hamster but i'd say stay away if you've got mice.

Rotastak Creepy Castle New Design Hamster Mouse Cage

Good :)
Hi, i orderd this cage on the 17th of january 2010 and recieved it on the 19th of jan. I came home from school and i was sooooo exited to get it built and my lovely hamster into it. My dad was at work and i was at home with my mum so we tryed to start putting it together. TRYED!!!!!. It took us from 4.30-9.20pm to try and put it toghether! Anyway, my hamster had to wait till the next day to get into it because it took sooooooooooooo long to set up! It was really hard to put the non nawing things on the ends of the tubes and at first we just tryed to force them on. DONT DO THAT. When i realised it wasnt going on i took my hands away and found that my hands where throbbing and really red. After, my mum came up with a really good idea. Rub vacileen on it. its easy! My hamster loves the cage and is still exploring, its giant! Bye this product its great, just remember to bye vaceleen while your at it! :)xxxxx
Not for dwarf hamsters, although it can be adapted
I purchased this cage because I thought it would provide lots of room for our two dwarf hamsters. It took us a while to make it up and it looked good fun for the hamsters but unfourtunatly they were unable to climb up the tubes! The tubes have no ridges for the hamsters to grip (unlike other hamster tubes you can get) and being verticle it provided a problem for them.

We went and bought the Rotastak spagetti junction so were able to make a whole different set up for them. Although it is not like we expected, we were still able to change it, although it did cost us extra because of having to purchase extra parts. Fixing it all together with the new parts was rather like a big jigsaw, but we managed it in the end! Although the verticle tubes were not suitable for the dwarf hamsters, I find the Rotastak cages good because of it being plastic rather than metal bars, just be warned that you may have to rearrange and buy extras if it's for dwarf hamsters.

Although it...
Really Good Value & Fun--for you and for hamster!
Made in England, which surprised me, I happily endorse this hamster hermitage for the one who wants extra space for his or her hamster. It wasn't easy to put together--it took me and my friend about 90 minutes to finalise construction of it. But once together, the hamster seemed to be exploring for hours. Another reviewer said to use vaseline to help fit the pieces together which seems like a good idea.

It has the main compartment (basement) along with the large circular compartment which has a barred opening around the top edge (big enough for hamster nose to get a whiff of air). There's also room to put other toys.

There are four towers that rise above the cage, as well as the back compartment which doubles as a carrying case for the hamster. Here's where the water is stored.

The wheel makes a bit of noise, but not enough to keep one awake at night.

As far as cleaning, the only parts that need to be cleaned are the main bodies of the...

Rotastak Small Animal Housing Natro 200, Green

THIS IS AWESOME
it took two days to deliver and it said that it would come from 3-5 days so that was REALLY good.When I opened the box it was all neatly laid out and everything was packaged up properly and nothing was broken.It was really easy to set up and it came with a little hide out and a wooden bridge.The only thing that is annoying about this item is that when I tried to put the tubes together it was really hard and stiff.but after all that and once I put the bedding down Lilly (my hamster) loved it.She loves running on the wheel (that also came with the cage) I would give this a 10 out of 10.
okay item
Hi this is a good item for dwalfs the house play area the holes to get inside are to small for a syrian he can stand on it thats all, this clips to hold it on are rubbish as one came broken and we left it off so far no escaping so thats a ok i guess, its a good size and looks good my old hamster syrian loves the freedom not sure of the tubes yet. The assembling is okay found the tubes stiff to put together.

Its a nice cage can do with things being better but would recemmend if you are after a simple cage with room for them to move about and explore .
what you see is what you get.
what you see is what you get, ideal for dewalf hampsters and normal size ones as well.
well made and the hampsters seem happy.

Not bad
Bought this rotastak for my dwarf hamster. However, he cannot enter the compartments above the ground level because he is too small to climb up the tubes.I thought when i bought it, it would have little ledges in the vertical tubes to facilitate the hamster to climb up, but the inside of the tubes are smooth. In that respect I find it not suitable for dwarf hamsters. However, I would like to comment on the fact the it is still a great buy, perhaps for a syrian hamster. The price was great for what you get, assembling takes a while but is manageable with a little patience, and delivery was very efficient.
What you see is NOT what you get
Ordered a creepy castle from Amazon as it looked the business. 4 towers and loads of living space. What arrived was almost a completely different product. It was smaller, not as cool looking, only 3 towers (if you could call them towers as they just sit on the base unit rather than being hi-rise) and no detatchable travel box.

The picture for this item is NOT the product being sent out.

Rotastak Pink Palace Small Animal Housing

Lovely but ....
Our new Syrian loves his cage - he took a little while to get the hang of the tubes etc but within 3 hours he had accessed everything and done a test drive on the wheel. The only problem is that he LOVES the tube, it is where he stores his food, moves all the bedding down,uses it as a toilet and sleeps in it - it is a pain to clean, but he is very visible. His sleeping in the tube is very funny, as he gradually slips down, a milimetre at a time, and then rushes back up.

We are persuading him to sleep in the bed room, and appears to be getting the hang of it!
Best cage ever
Ignore all the people that can't be bothered to put a cage together. Yes it's "a bit fiddly" to put the tubes together, but once they're together, you never have to take them apart ever again, so get over it! Coming from someone who has owned and bred hamsters for 15 years and still has 2 of them and recently purchased this cage (the pink version of the other Rotastak cage) I can tell you bar none that this is the best cage ever. It iIS big enough for a syrian, and the best part is you can save up for a few months and then buy more parts for it, assemble it how you like, get outer wheel attachments etc. You can build it differently, it's like the hamster gets a new cage every time you clear it out if you want. If the little buggers wee in the tubes, it doesn't take 5 mins to spray hamster-friendly disinfectant on them and rinse with the shower hose, leave to dry while they're rampaging in their ball.
Could not recommend it more, much more fun than a boring bar cage. If they're...
what a palace
I purchased this item for my grandaugter who describe it as brillent her hamster is female so nice and pink and very girly.Arrived very quick especeally seeing it was a bank holiday.
