HAMLAB 1 and 2

Here's Hamlab 2, the two story observation tower built from a 100 CDR spindle and a 20 CDR spindle plus fishing weights and assorted other parts. I'm pleased with the unusual design. You can see the much smaller Hamlab 1 next to it, unoccupied. It was only suitable for 5 or 10 minute uses due to the small interior room and lack of a water bottle. Hamlab 2 comfortably houses two hamsters and includes a food dish, water bottle, nesting fluff and silica litter to prevent the buildup of humidity or waste fumes. If this approach of building smaller individual habitats proves more practical than the gigantic Mk. III all in one approach I may simply build a city out of unconnected individual living structures, on account of pet guides advising not to put hamsters from different sibling groups together. With this more gradual, affordable approach I think a city of perhaps eight structures total is feasible at a depth of between 3 and 7 feet.
