Are you looking for information and description of the Rotastak space command? You came to the right place. The Rotastak Space Command is another great Rotastak creation. It is built with an outer space theme enhanced by the color lime green and Universe blue. The Rotastak Space Command is designed for hamsters, gerbils, and mice. The tunnels, tubes, space capsules and accessories simulate their natural habitat and make the cage a complete living environment for them. Moving on, let me introduce you to this cage in more detail:
Introduction 1. Rotastak Space Command Dimensions
The cage has an assembled dimension of approximately:
- 55 cm (22 inches) tall
- 77 cm (30 inches) wide
- 20 inches (51 cm) deep
After reading the forum threads of experienced hamster breeders, they recommend that the cage of a Syrian hamster be at least:
- 30.5 cm (12 inches) tall
- 30.5 cm (12 inches) wide
- 61.0 cm (24 inches) deep
And the size of 2 dwarf hamsters in a cage should be at least:
- 30.5 cm (12 inches) tall
- 30.5 cm (12 inches) wide
- 61.0 cm (24 inches) deep
We can deduce that this cage has more than enough living area for a Syrian hamster and is definitely large enough for about 2 to 4 dwarf hamsters.
Introduction 2. Elements of Rotastak’s Space Command
The cage has the following 7 elements:
- Main ‘command post’ with easy-access lid
- Swivel tube slide
- Attic ‘space cabin’ and watchtower
- Travel spaceship
- Exercise wheel
- Water bottle
- Food bowl
The main purpose of these accessories and compartments is to simulate the natural living environment of your hamster, gerbil or mice. Most of them live underground and burrow deep to hide from heat and predators during the day. The tubes are placed to simulate the “path” dug by the hamsters. Lead to the main cage room where the hamsters can run around and play with their space crew. The wheel ensures that your pet gets enough exercise and the space capsule provides a dark and cozy place to sleep and rest. It can be detached from the cage, allowing you to take your pet out.
