You Hamster Will Love a Rotastak Hamster Cage

A Rotastak hamster cage can be one of the nicest things you can provide for you pet. The beautiful colored and clear plastic compartments add a lot of interest to hamster viewing. Here is a basic description of some of their products to help you decide what to buy.
With each cage purchase you will get a detailed assembly manual.

These cages can be bought in units so that a customized habitat can be easily built. The individual compartments can be connected together with tubes for travel to all areas of the home.  Smaller varieties of hamsters may have problems moving up and down in the vertical tubes. In this case you can buy a little ladder for the vertical tubes to help him climb about.

Many people choose the Rotastak Sports Starter Home as their first purchase. It has a round main room and an attic bedroom accessed through a tube. It is small but would be suitable for one or two Dwarf hamsters. It comes with an exercise wheel and water bottle. The top of the main room can be removed for easy cleaning.  The Starter Deluxe is a little larger but similar layout to the Sports Starter Home.

The Maxi Mansion Rotastak hamster cage has about twice as much space as the starter models and also has an attic bedroom. A water bottle and exercise wheel are included.

There are two Pod Units that are based on a wire cage, which is triangular from, and end view and basically consists of one large room. A deluxe model called the Mission Pod has a complex array tubes over the cage allowing lots of exploration room. There are two water bottles and a vortex wheel. This model can house up to three Dwarf hamsters.
Several of the smaller cage models can be connected together with tubes to provide a complex array of units.  The Pink Palace is one of these. Its pink color would make it suitable for girls. There are four distinct compartmentalized play areas with an array of winding tubes connecting them.

The Creepy Castle is a bi-level Rotastak hamster cage with four attic bedrooms and exercise wheel. The colors are black and green. The green is a glow in the dark material, which allows you to see your pets in the dark, and gives the cage its name. It is suitable for up to four Dwarf hamsters.

The Pirate Ship consists of a dining room, bedroom, and two water bottles. One of the compartments is detachable and has a water bottle and is ideal for travel with your pet. These combination units are by far the best sellers and most popular with folks.

There are several Add On units as follows for your Rotastak hamster cage. The Dining Room is circular room with three tube holes and a pull out drawer for easy feeding. The Home-Away-Room is a small rectangular room with a carrying handle to allow you to take your hamster with you. The Basement room is a tall, bucket shaped, clear plastic room with one tube hole for connecting to a room above. The Roof Garden is a dome shaped room made of wire with a single tube hole in the bottom.

Rotastak will help you build a mansion with all sorts of spare parts, wheels, bottles, covers, ladders, and gnaw rings.

France Faces Fine Over Lack of Hamster Love

Weird but true, France is being threatened with a €17 million penalty if it doesn’t clean up its act and come up with a strategy to save the European hamster, one of the continent’s most threatened species.

Last week the European Commission, the executive branch of the 27-member European Union, gave France a two-month deadline or else it would have to cough up the whopping fine for failing to comply with the Habitats Directive (yes we’re in Eurobabbleland here) to prevent the rodent’s extinction.

The Directive requires all member states to designate sites for conservation and to protect various listed species.

The little fellah at the centre of the warning is the Cricetus cricetus better known as the  “great hamster of Alsace” or the black-bellied Hamster, and as one of its name suggests is native to eastern France.

According to the Commission’s statistics – and don’t even begin to ask who does the counting, or how – the number of burrows for the rodent  have fallen dramatically in recent years, down from 1,100 in 2001 to just 167 in 2007.

The decline in population is put down to urban development and just as importantly increased levels of farming, both of which have led to the hamster’s loss of natural habitat.

In addition apparently the growth of profitable maize crops has left it with little to eat when it awakes from its winter hibernation in March.

It can’t be an easy job being taken seriously when such concerns are raised, but there is an important lesson to be learned from the decline in the hamster’s population according to the EU’s Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas. 

He insists that the drop in numbers is nature’s way of sending out a bigger message and it’s beholden to everyone to heed that fact.

Brussels issued France a warning last December but maintains that not enough has been done and is now demanding a bigger effort from the French government or else face a fine.

France is also in trouble over its plans to extend the port of Saint Nazaire in the west of the country – a proposal which would destroy 50 hectares of wetlands protected under another EU-wide scheme.

On the surface perhaps it would yet again appear that the EU is doing what its critics would say it does best – handing down seemingly daft orders that are totally out of proportion with many of the other issues it faces.

For example there’s a vital vote on the future of the EU itself on Thursday when Irish voters decide on whether to ratify the so-called mini-treaty. A “no” could scupper plans to revamp its institutions and appoint a permanent president.

It would also leave the French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, floundering to make his six-month rotating presidency of the EU effective, when France takes over in July.

Perhaps though among all the politicking, Sarkozy will spare a thought for the “cute” (in one Commission official’s words) little hamster and save the French taxpayer a hunk of money into the bargain.

After all “The man who saved the hamster” has a certain ring to it  – doesn’t it?
