...Luckily they also had a Rotastak in an odd shade of green. This was called the Rotastak Space Command Unit, I considered this a bit more of a bargain than the standard one, even though it cost the same £40 this was on the basis that it came complete with a detachable carrying case. What does it look like?
It is predominantly clear and luminous green
Starting at the ground floor, it has a tube that winds its way up to the top floor. It also has ... ...also attach the carrying case to the ground floor, this in effect gives the hamster another room to explore.
Once on the first floor (playroom) the hamster finds itself in a smaller circular room, It has three things it can do, drop down a hole to the ground floor, it can use its exercise wheel or it can climb up to the top floor and to what is designed to be its bedroom.
The top floor is the hamsters bedroom, instead of the walls being clear like ...

So What is Rotastak?
Rotastak is a modern alternative to the metal wire cages we all have fond memories clipping water bottles to, and unhatching a large metal door on the front. It consists of bright coloured plastics that can be manipulated using tubes and a series of tanks, to make a fun and exciting habitat for smaller pets, eg, mice, hamsters and gerbils. It looks expensive?
... ...usual gnaw on. It seems Rotastak are aware of this and so have set no sleeping quarter into one of the tanks. Its not overly problematic but it would have been nice.
Secondly, after putting the cage together, frustratingly it seems parts have to be dismantled to clean the cage properly. A large flap does raise on the large bottom tank. Which is were most mess will occur. But cleaning the middle and top levels will prove to be very difficult. In ...

Advantages: Fun, lots of space Disadvantages: Difficult to put together
When I purchased my Syrian Hamster she was in quite a small, single level cage. She was getting quite big, and to be honest I wanted to get her something a little bigger to live in.
I came across this cage in my local Pets at Home store, it was price in excess of £50 and was quite pricey. But since, it was a one off purchase I decided to go ahead. Part of what attracted me to the cage was the detachable carry case. Plus I thought it just looked ... ...it has a main section (this is quite deep, and so could be used as a play area or perhaps filled with a lot of sawdust so that your hamster can burrow), a smaller living area with an exercise wheel attached, and a 'Dining Room'. The Dining Room has an attachment for a water bottle, and also slide out draws that can be filled with food.
All of these sections are connected by standard horizontal or vertical tubes. However, as you can see from the ...

...not last long.
The Rotastak Space Command Unit is more for lads as girls prefer the girly colour ones. Its recommend for hamsters, mice and gerbils but personally gerbils love to gnaw so if you have gerbils, don't waste your money buying this. Mice smell stronger so buy a cage which has more air vents.
Cage size is approx 2.5 foot long (30 inches), approx 21/22 inch high and 19/20 inch deep.
If you want to be more adventurous you can add more ... ...expand your set. With its top space compartment and small travel carry case attached (ideal for transporting the little one on its travels or to the vets). There is an hamster wheel too (another expense spared).
Cleanliness wise, I think the cage is difficult to clean out, easy enough to put the vac and pick up the shavings/sawdust, but it is wise to have a large bottle brush or small hands to clean some of the tubes out incase your pet poops in ...

Quick review of Rotastak Space Command Unit
We recently bought one of these and I was immediately struck by the poor quality of the materials and the awkwardness in putting it together.
Far worse though, within a few days our dwarf hamster managed to get trapped in the pipe section and in struggling to free herself was so badly injured that she lost one of her rear legs. You can imagine how traumatic that was for our 6 year old son. I complained at the store and received a full refund (unfortunately legs cannot be replaced) which went some way to offsetting the vet's fees.
I think this design is inherently dangerous, particularly for dwarf varieties and I would NEVER recommend it to anyone. ...

Quick review of Rotastak Space Command Unit
Just bought one of these and really trust me, DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY. This is the worst unsafe hamster cage I could have bought.
The Space Dome is held together by two plastic clips, the tubing is really awkward to piece together and the whole thing is really unsafe for any animal.
Really would not recommend this cage to ANYONE. ...
