With Roborovski's you have to be careful what type of cage you buy. Wired ones are the types you should be cautious of i.e. Certain Rotastak or the basic box wired cage, as the wires are often too far apart (1cm).
I prefer Aquariums, no draft, keeps cool, hygienic, solid and tall and you can't hear the little guys biting away at the bares of the cage. The "not so good" things about them are that they're difficult to move, heavy and can break if not handled or placed correctly. But, I think it's a nice alternative to modern cages, especially the metal ones!
A similar alternative is a cheap clear box that you would normally put bits and bobs in.
Does everything an aquarium does and solves all the problems you would have with a tank too. Downfalls would be that it doesn't look very "neat" and that it's very hard to find perfectly clear boxes as the majority of them are transparent white.
There are a few Wired cages (Partly wired and plastic too) designed for Roborovski's that have the wires pulled tighter together so they can not escape. There aren't really any faults with them, except that a lot of those have wide vertical tubing which Roborovski's can not climb up. You could solve this by adding a Rotastak ladder to the tubing.
