Here's one. It is attached to the bars at the side with a couple of cable ties (although sisal string would do it as well), so it couldn't move. In your case, you'd be wanting to attach one end - the higher end - to the bars and then have it sloping down from there. Charlie's cage was looking quite bare there - it was just being set up again after a full clean (after a moth outbreak!).

Just bought a tunnel It looks as if it has 2 side holes, so I'll have to try to line one up with her platform, and one up with her wheel!

She may, of course, just eat it lol I plumped for the seagrass tunnel as she has been chewing through her basket which is hyacinth. She has previously dismantled one of those seagrass balls though Either way, it'll be fun for her!

 

[Maz]

Oh goodness I hadn't thought of that - yes she may just eat it! I think you're right, the seagrass one will be harder to dismantle than the hyacinth one. Do you have any cable ties or sisal string to attach it with? Cable ties are very cheap! The plastic ones. I think my packet cost £1 and I've had them for years. You pull them tight so there's only a very small part showing inside that is to tight to get a nail caught in eg. The long part ends up on the outside of the cage and you just snip the length off. Although it is possible for them to bite through the small plastic bit showing

I have some nettle yarn which I’ve used previously…she may, of course, just eat that too tho

I don't know if you remember, but Pip (robo) used to have a stiff cardboard tunnel that spanned two shelves, and was tied to the bars with sisal string - hardly anything showed on the inside - about 1/4 cm max, pulled tight, but twice I found he'd bitten through it! Hopefully, in this case, as it'll be tied at one end to the bars, then she won't bother to go right to the end as the hole will lead onto the shelf before she gets there ........

Looking forward to seeing it!

 

[Lovelyness]

Yes, hopefully! She has a vine carrot which has remained tied to the bars. If anything is hanging, she’ll immediately nibble through the string lol.

Got an email from Amazon and the delivery date says 27 July!!!!!!! Hopefully it will appear sooner than that

 

[Maz]

Oh dear - that is a long time. Maybe it's out of stock. I would cancel it and get one somewhere else in that case. I had look online at a couple of other petstores selling it and it was out of stock. There is one on ebay with delivery 2nd to 9th July. It costs a bit more but it's free delivery. Or you might be able to find one in a local pet store maybe?

On Amazon it is sold by various sellers. If direct from Amazon then delivery is tomorrow - but again it costs a bit more

Hmm The Amazon link you posted is the one I bought…

 

[Maz]

That's odd - I know sometimes the same link can be for different sellers - there's sometimes a list on the right.

 

[Lovelyness]

The hyacinth tunnel can be delivered tomorrow, so I’ve cancelled the seagrass tunnel and got the hyacinth one instead. Anyone fancy having a sweepstake on how long it will be before Blossom eats it lol

 

[Lovelyness]

As I have bought it through the affiliate link, the Hamster Forum may get a penny towards running costs lol

 

[Maz]

Aw thank you. In which case I really hope Blossom doesn’t destroy it!

It’s been difficult getting hold of the seagrass ones for some time - last time I wanted one, I couldn’t find one.
