Joining the Rotastak and Habitrail hamster housing systems

Want to join your Habitrail and your Rotastak hamster housing? This video shows you how! It can be done and safely! I used to join my Habitrail Safari and my Rotastak Spaghetti Junction, using the red ring that comes with Rotastak tubes. But I found that the joint was imprecise and could break under pressure...Not safe for your hamster at all. When I went to buy some extra Habitrail tubing, I found that the design had been changed. The tubes now come with a circular locking ring. The Rotastak tubes (without the red ring) fit into this locking ring, that is in turn joined to the Habitrail tubing. You are able to lock the two in place, without any fear of them coming apart and letting your hamster loose!

I have 2 mice and I have a crittertrail dazzle and I was just wondering where you get the habbitrail cages because I go to Petco to get my food and bedding? Hope u have the time to answer.

I buy my habitrail cages in my local petshop, but I haven't been able to get the accessories for the habitrail cages where I live. For those, I go to Ebay.

did jazzy die??

[HMPrincessJazzy]

Yes, of old age...She was more than 2 y/o; pretty good for a syrian in the tropics!

is rotastak better than habitrail ? i have rotastak at the minute and i want 2 extend on it

I think the tubes are stronger, but it's more of a pain the clean them out. I think both brands have their good and weak points, but once you understand what you can and can't do with them, you can use them both safely. And having both give your hamsters twice as much fun!

@Ilovegrayhounds123: no I don't think you should get one for your gerbil because the cage will be too small. People say that it's too small for a Syrian hamster aswell but mines fits in it but I still don't think it should be a good cage for a gerbil

I was wondering what you think about gerbils living in rotastak cages. I've read loads about it being bad but i don't really think its that much of a problem.
