Rotastak cages are a popular choice for pet Syrian hamsters. Basically they are plastic cage units that connect together to form a little maze for your hammy to get lost in. Some of the basic units include… The starter unit and traditional system- consists of a small circular living section connected to a small system of tubes that leads to a small round “attic bedroom” type thingie.
