Rotastak Creepy Castle

Is Rotastak Creepy Castle for dwarfs?

In terms of design the Rotastak Creepy Castle is more suited to Syrian hamsters than to dwarf hamsters.

The most common observation from dwarf hamster owners is that the connecting tunnels are too big for dwarf hamsters and the inside of the tunnels are smooth which makes it difficult for dwarfs to climb up and down the tunnels.

Some buyers seem to have adapted the cage for their dwarf hamsters by including additional ladders and shortening tubes, although it's unlikely that this will enable baby dwarf hamsters to navigate the tunnels. Then again there are reviews where people have not modified their cages and that do report that their dwarf hamsters live quite happily in the Creepy Castle.

If you do intend to use the Rotastak Creepy Castle for dwarf hamsters its size seems to be large enough for a pair of dwarfs at most.

Rotastak Creepy Castle versions

Looking at the various online seller websites (see below) there seems to be 2 different versions of the Rotastak Creepy Castle.

The main differences are the number of attic bedrooms (watch towers) and the inclusion of the transport carrier (Guard Room). Creepy Castle version 1 has 3 attic bedrooms whereas version 2 has 4. Creepy Castle version 2 is the model that has the transport unit (Gurad Post).

Please note that the pictures on their websites all seem to be of version 1 however some of them are selling version 2.

As far as I can tell the seller versions are as follows:
