The review of a wire net type cage.

● The review of a wire net type cage.

At first, I was recommended to the salesclerk of a pet shop, and bought a wire net type cage.
I gave the cabbage to the hamster from the crevice between wire nets.
His appearance which eats a cabbage was lovely.

However, the hamster had gnawed the wire net occasionally.

Probably, he wanted to come outside.
However, I worried about this act of his.

If a wire net is gnawed, a tooth will break or it will become a cause of malocclusion.
Malocclusion is that tabling of a tooth worsens, it becomes extremely difficult to eat food and it leads to losing one's life.

If it continues biting a wire net very frequently or tabling of a tooth is not a bad hamster originally, a possibility of becoming malocclusion is low.
However, since it became my uneasy cause, I repented of having purchased the wire net type cage.

Also with the hamster breeding book, it is written that the tank type is better than a wire net type in many cases.

I had heard that a wire net type cage is easy to clean up.
It is because what is necessary is to wash only the portion of a floor.
However, in fact, since the wire net part also became dirty, it had to clean up, and this work took time and effort.

The cage which I bought was able to connect the pipe.
At first, I enjoyed the figure of the hamster which runs about in a pipe.
However, in the pipe, the hamster discharged excrement and soiled the inside with the flooring material and sand adhering to the body.

Cleaning of a pipe was trouble.
It is because decomposition and combination of a pipe take time and effort
Although I was able to enjoy myself at first, since management was troublesome, use of the pipe was stopped.
However, a wire net type cage is not full of faults.

The strong point of a wire net type cage is that it is airy.
Therefore, it is suitable for using in summer when the room is filled with humidity.

It is good to use a wire net type cage for summer, and to use a tank type cage excellent in keeping warm for a winter season.

Moreover, the cage generally sold as an object for hamsters is a wire net type.
Therefore, the breeding tools corresponding to a wire net type cage are substantial.
