Thank you Flapjack - that is great to know - so many internet lists of rescues are out of date now so it really helps other members to know where to go.

Thanks AJ. I have heard of Scallywags because they sell the Volta cage on Ebay and Amazon (says they imported it).

They're pretty great, they don't do walk-in animal sales and make sure prospective homes have a good setup and are aware of hamster care needs.

I almost adopted a lovely syrian from Hamster Foster and Rescue uk but my ruddy living world eco screws (not the original ones cos I lost those) wouldnt screw in properly. Really fed up with trying to get screws the exact size of the original ones. Seems to be impossible!

Anyway never mind my moaning. They seem like a really good group. I joined them on facebook.

I am guessing you emailed the company? I was wondering if they could send you some.

They said that the cage hasn't been available for sometime and they no longer have any spare parts.

Considering getting a dwarf hamster for my st elmo xxl cage (100 x 50cm like a short barney).

I came across this small rescue in Docklands.

That's a great find Rainbow (I nearly said Orko lol). Very useful for anyone in London. I notice they have the same photo as one on our home page - that photo is everywhere! It's free on an Image Bank which is probably why it's so popular with websites. Most image bank photos you have to pay a licence. As it's in so many places I might find a new photo for our home page! It is an incredibly cute hamster (and cute photo) though.
