Daughter has one of them converters, she leaves it with us when she's away, they need feeding twice a day on a quite varied diet, plus hay, they also drink a lot of water, so the cage needs cleaning regularly.
You will also need to buy plenty of wood shavings for the bottom of the cage, & they scatter it around so be prepared for constant use of the vac, they are also short sighted & very timid, ones enough.
I wouldn't bother, they are more trouble than their worth, & can live a long time, so take future commitments into it as well, wil you want them in five years time.
