The review of a clothes case cage.

● The review of a clothes case cage. 　

A transparent clothes case is perfect for the cage of a hamster.

Of course, since it is hard to use as it is, it is necessary to convert making an air hole etc.
If tools, such as a cutter for plastics and Gimlet for plastics, are used, reconstruction of a clothes case can be performed simply.

About a clothes case cage.
Strong point.
・A flooring material does not scatter outside and does not soil the surroundings.
・It is cheap.
・Since it is a product made from a plastic, it is light.
・Since a lid can be removed easily, it is easy to carry out cleaning. It is a cage which can be cleaned most easily.
・Since the space is large, many breeding tools and toys can be placed.
・Since the space is large, a hamster cannot become lack of exercise easily.
・A cage can be placed on a clothes case of the same type.
・It is hard to escape.

Demerit
・Breathability is bad and it is easily filled with humidity or heat.
This problem is solvable to some extent, if a vent is opened in the side.
・It is necessary to make an air hole. Reconstruction takes time and effort.
・ince inside is large, many flooring materials are needed.
Consumption of a flooring material becomes early so much.

I used the actually converted clothes case as a cage of hamster.
Then, I was surprised at the convenience beyond anticipation of a clothes case!

I think that the aptitude as a cage of a clothes case is above a tank type cage.

The greatest strong point,

・ It is light.

・ It is large.

・ It is cheap.

It is these three.
Let's compare the performance of a tank type cage and a clothes case cage.
First, the clothes case is lighter than a tank type cage.
A clothes case is a product made from a plastic, and it is made so that it may be easy to carry.

Therefore, it is easy to make it move.

There is also a clothes case where the pulley is attached.

For this reason, it is easy to throw away a flooring material at the time of cleaning.
Even if it drops accidentally, a fear of being injured is low.

A tank type cage is heavy because of glass.
If it will drop on a floor, a tank breaks, and also there is a risk of carrying out an injury.
For this reason, you have to make cleaning of a tank type cage prudent.

Moreover, a clothes case is slightly larger than a tank type cage.

Sufficient space for breeding of a hamster is an important element.
If a cage is narrow, it will be easy to become lack of exercise.
Moreover, if a required tool is placed, the place where a hamster exercises will be lost.
Lack of exercise becomes overweight and a cause of stress.

Since a clothes case has sufficient width, it is the best for keeping a hamster.

Finally, about comparison of a price, it is completely the victory of a clothes case.
A clothes case is the cheapest in the cage of a hamster.

The tank type cage was expensive and the price of the cage which I am using was about 4800 dollars.
On the other hand, since the clothes case was only 750 dollars, it is surprised by the difference of the price.

However, the point inferior to a tank type cage is the transparency of a wall.

The figure of a hamster does not look clear if the lid of a clothes case is not removed.
If a hamster is kept, I would like to fully admire the lovely figure.
Moreover, the clothes case must convert making an air hole etc., buys it, and cannot be immediately used as a cage.
Even if it used tools, such as a cutter for plastics, reconstruction took about 1 hour.

● About the method of reconstruction

Using this cutter for plastics, I made the hole in the lid and made it the air hole.

Since a lid would break easily if the hole was made too much, the vent was made to a part of both ends.
Although it seems that there are some persons who are doing more large-scale reconstruction when the hamster blog of the Internet is patrolled, I think that reconstruction of this level is enough.

Moreover, if a vent is made on the side of a clothes case cage, there is a case from which a hamster escapes from there.

It is because a hamster will gnaw and extend a vent.
Therefore, I did not make a vent on the side.

This is the clothes case "Iris Ohyama" which I purchased as an object for cages.

Size is 24cm in width 45x depth 73x height.
t is slightly larger than a standard tank type cage.

Since the slot is contained in the lid and the cutter was moved along this slot, it was easy to open a vent.
