I agree. I might get a hamster soon. I like the Omlet hamster cage, but all it needs are some tube extensions.

I found this really helpful. I am going to be adopting a hamster soon, so is there any advice you have for doing so the first time?

I was wondering if you plan to come out with extensions in so we way, like you do the rabbit cages! Maybe ways of extending with tubes or adding another level?

Any plans to create hamster habitats in which tubing can be attached to add turrets, sleeping nooks, etc?
