My hamsters aren't used to the tubes, do you think they will get used to it?

Yes it took our mouse about 3 weeks to use them. Once he learned he would run like crazy up one side and down the other

Put a peanut in the top and they will climb to it. I have two different dwarf hamsters each in their own habitat and they both use the tubes.

Yes. A dwarf hamster could walk through the bars. Dwarfs do their best when in aquariums.

If they are very small, they may fit in together. The tubes are really not that big.

It was far too small for my guinea pigs, but they are big guinea pigs. It is adjustable, but I think it might be too big for a hamster, I think it is made for smaller guinea pigs.

We had a dwarf hamster in it and now a Syrain. We had a lot of attachment on it for climing and playing. Both did fine, although the dwarf had to have the tunnels flatter because he had a hard time climing initially. The wheel was fine for both. I had problems with the water bottles leaking eventually so bought another whole cage and hooked the two together using only one water bottle.

Yes they're good for mice or any other smaller critters. And no you can have the tubes without needing another cage. If you have a lot of these you can make a maze or something else fun. With the amount here you can create smaller mazes that lead out side the cage or around it

They will figure it out when they get thirsty enough. Hamsters get some of the water they need from the food they eat. If you are feeding your hamster a diet high in fruit and vegetable scraps then you shouldn't have anything to worry about. It is probably drinking at night anyway. If you still haven't seen it drink from the bottle, be sure to leave a little on the tunnel floor beneath the dispenser to give it the heads up.

I don't know much about those hamsters, but I'd think it would be fine. Did you have a specific concern ? The only thing I don't know about is can your hamster fit through tiny spaces (like the spaces between the bars) ? I know I had a small pet mouse when I was a kid that could fit through anything.

If my fat hamster can use the tubes, then they should be even better for mice. If you buy more tubes (though it's also possible with only one pack) you could assemble different shapes. It'd be fun to connect 2 cages with tubes but it is not necessary. You may have them run in something like a circle. Hope this helps.

The wheel is significantly larger than the one that came with my cage. I would imagine even an overweight Syrian hamster would feel comfortable running in the wheel that comes with these tubes. The little house and lookout tube might be tight for them though. As far as the wheel goes, it is quite a good size, 6.5" diameter, with a 2" diameter entrance hole. I hope that helps answer your question for your Syrian hamster. A word of caution though, my little Robo hamster loves to poo in his wheel as he runs, so I have to clean the "stableizer" unit included for under the wheel out every day, as it is more of a poo trap than a stableizer. At least it keeps the rest of his cage free and clean of all of those. :-) The wheel is significantly larger than the one that came with my cage.

Yes, it is. the tubes are wider than they look.. actually I think a dwarf hamster would have trouble climbing these tubes. There's also a special habitral ovo for dwarf hamsters which has narrower tubes

I am sorry but I do not have an answer for you. I used it in connection with another habitrail system. Also, it should be fine for a gerbil. I had a dwarf hamster and a regular hamster and both are fine in there. The dwarf had a hard time climbing up when I contstrcted the cage that way but the normal size one is fine.

No, this is more of a rabbit or guinea pig cage, you should look into the superpet cages for hamsters, I had a large Syrian in a two level and it worked great

Although I don't have any experience with bunnies I can tell you that my Russian dwarf hamster doesn't track this anywhere. He does get a few pieces in his food bowl from time to time but nothing to make a major mess. It doesn't take a lot to cover his cage, I do give him a little more in certain places because he likes to dig and bury but other than that just enough to cover the bottom and keep him warm is enough.

It isn't even large enough for a Syrian hamster either (the larger hamsters). They will get too large to fit through the tubes and there also isn't enough room to put an 11" wheel, which is what a Syrian hamster needs. It is really designed for dwarf hamsters and gerbils.

The bar spacing is too wide for a hamster. It will be able to squeeze through. It works for larger critters, like a guinea pig.

If it is a small small dog because of the openings designed for the flexible tube. Ferrets & hamsters can squeeze through opening without the tube attached, but I would be careful about larger animals getting their neck or bodies caught in opening
