## Our hamsters ##
We have kept hamsters since last summer (2002) and now have four. We've two Mini Duna hamster cages and one of the larger Duna cages (it's exactly the same, but bigger). Our Winter White Russian hamsters, Suki and Cherry, live in separate Mini Dunas (one in each) and our two Roborovskis, Honey and Posy, live together in the larger cage.
## The Cage - outside ##
The Mini Duna cages have coloured plastic bases (they come in red, turquoise and blue - all of ours are red) and clear plastic tops.
The lid is made of bars and clips into the clear plastic top. You can hang nut sticks from these bars - your hamster will love climbing up them to nibble the food.
The top itself has white plastic clips which hold it to the coloured base. There is a hole in the side for the drinking bottle.
## The Cage - inside ##
Inside, the cage has a clear plastic 'mezzanine' level, with a ramp going down into the base part. The hamster wheel (a necessary part of any cage!) attaches to this mezzanine and spins freely unless your hamster decides to dig in the sawdust under it!
## Accessories ##
When we bought our cages, they all came with a little plastic house. This has feet which stand in holes in the top level of the cage to stop it being nudged around by the cage's occupant. The house had a pack of 'fluffy' bedding in it - don't use this as it can get stuck in your hamsters cheek pouches and cause harm. Use the ripped up paper style bedding instead - but make sure it's ripped up small, to avoid your pet getting their leg stuck.
The cage came with a plastic food bowl, which our hamsters all sit in to eat their food - very cute!
There was also a 'Sippy' drinking bottle included - if you use bottled water then not only do you control what your hamster is drinking, you also avoid any limescale build-up on the bottle. The bottle has suckers which attach to the side of the cage - they're very good and stay stuck to the side 99.99% of the time. It also has measurements on so that you can check how much your hamster is drinking.
The wheel was already in the cage - importantly it's a solid-type construction - never buy one that your hamster can get its little feet caught in.
## Price ##
The Mini Duna cages are about £25, including all of the above mentioned accessories. They are suitable for all kinds of dwarf hamsters as they don't have bars on the sides - dwarf hamsters are escape artists - be warned! The solid plastic construction also means that the cage is never draughty.

I bought this cage around about a year ago for a lone male mouse.
Ive found this to be a perfect cage for mice as it's of a decent size for the inquisitive little fuzzbums, with decent floor space and just tall enough for a few climbing toys. It would probably house a small group of mice but Dr Pepper would'nt be too happy as he doesnt get on with others! Despite being called the mini Duna it is relatively large but this is a good thing as most ... ...Dr Pepper in there for a year ive found that it's also escape proof. With a durable plastic base, and small bar sacing on the opening hatch. I find this to be especially important seeing as he's a devil to find if he wants to go on the run!
When I bought this it came with a food dish, house and sippy water bottle. Both the food bowl and water bowl were great (although plastic so not suitable for say a gerbil) but i found the bottle can be temperamental ...

Advantages: Good size, all included, escape and cat proof! Disadvantages: Lid can be difficult to open/close
I recently purchased the mini duna cage for my two mice (Alpha and Bravo).
This is an ideal cage for mice (and dwarf hamsters) as the plastic base and sides are escape proof and the wire door on the top has sufficiently small bar spaing to prevent mice from squeasing through, and/or cat paws squeasing in!
The plastic level provided is great for creating extra floor space and a sheltered sleeping area within the cage, but can also be removed with ... ...wheel, dish, house and brilliant 'sippy' water bottle (fills from the top - genious!) provided are of a high standard and very duarble.
Although named the 'mini duna' the cage is still relativly large 55cm x 39cm x 27cm, so get the tape measure out before you buy and make sure you have room. Remember cages are never too big for the animals, just for the people who live around them!
The mini duna will easily house a small group of mice or a pair ...

Advantages: No draughts! Disadvantages: Not much floor space for extra toys/wheels.
This is an all round great cage, easy to clean and good access to your pets. The only problem I have found is the plastic roof can crack easily around the door hinge. With the level there is not a huge amount of room if you need to add two wheels (for example if you have two dwarf hamsters). It is a reasonable size for smaller pets (dwarf hamsters, mice) but a bit small for gerbils or Syrian hamsters. Due to the all-plastic sides, ventilation may ...
