Syrian. Long haired!!!
Not sure re the eco habitat. Prefer barred cages ...
Thank you Socks mum. I can barely contain my excitement and have been buying bedding, carrying box, sprays and even a glass water bottle although he will have a bowl.
He will be going into the st elmo xxl which is 100 x 54 x 35 so quite short. Will see how he goes. At least I have the eco as a back up unless I get reckless and buy a taller barred cage ...
Tempted by the borneo L cage which is 99 x 54 x 56. It is 79.99. Just seen that it doesnt ship to the UK sob sob. I want it more now!!!

Very exciting. I remember Woodstock - your long haired Syrian 
. Thats right isn’t it? I know it was some years ago so hope I got the name right!
Yes it’s so annoying when most of the German cages won’t ship to the Uk any more. The Plaza 100 is only £80. I do like the Plaza 120 a lot (£100). Raffy was in that. Just a slightly larger plaza 100 - extra depth.
You know you can still get the Barney cage from Zooplus? That’s about £80 too. If you don’t mind the small doors.

Well remembered! After Woodstock I had a really beautiful long haired black eyed cream hamster called Arun. He loved the borneo xl. Wish I still had it. Oh well.Very exciting. I remember Woodstock - your long haired Syrian

Will have a good look at the savic cages and see which would fit best in the space that I have available.

I remember Arun too 
I didn't realise you had had a Borneo XL though. You don't fancy the Barney cage then? I suppose the height makes it a bit limited for bedding (and I found the small front doors frustrating). I like the Savic Plaza's though with the big front door. The 120 has a top door as well but it's very deep space-wise. They're more flimsy in a way than things like the Barney or Borneo as they're knockdown cages but once put together they're fine.

Gopal (long haired dark brown hamster) had a barney cage and was really happy in there but I also found the little doors frustrating.
I think the savic 100 would fit the space best but do wonder if its worth paying 80.00 in order to get 15cm more in height ...
Will try my little honey pie in the st elmo and see how he goes.
The st elmo xxl does have the same teeny doors as the barney but because it is shorter it is really easy to access.

You can always see how it goes and add more later I think he might sort a few things out himself first and has a nice shelf
For videos you need to upload them to youtube and then just paste the link on here and it opens out and plays directly on the forum (embedded). If you don't want them to be public, you can set them as "unlisted". Then they are private basically, except wherever you paste the link (ie on here).
You must be so excited getting him tomorrow!

Well today I collected him. He is wonderful. I put a teeny pringles tube into the carrier and lifted him into the cage.
He had a swift look round then burrowed into the bedding and was gone!
