DS8 had a lovely hamster who died of tumour. She had a large cage (which came already built) and lived happily in it until she was nearly 2 years old.
DS8 decided last weekend he would like to get another hamster, a rescue one. Fine, he filled in the application form himself, saw a hamster in a centre near us on the website. They contacted us and said all good but your current cage needs to be the next size up. Again fine, I bought the cage.
Tonight I tried to erect the fucker. It's horrendous. No instructions and when I found a video it (of course) made it all sound so simple. Except that every time you slot one piece in the other bit pops out ! Her old cage is so lovely and sturdy (and already built) and sat on the floor looking at me!
DH finishes work at 9pm so the cage has been abandoned for him to experience the joy 😅 I am resorting to going back to my desk to finish some work and eating cake, all of which are preferable.
Maybe some fairies will turn up downstairs and build it for me (living in hope).I thought about putting a message on Facebook for someone to build it, I mean it's only like when people get someone to build their Ikea furniture (except WAY worse)
Any handy mumnetters who want to lose their shit feel free to pop round and try and put the roof on 
Here's hoping hammy will wait until the castle is built
