can syrian hamsters fit in the tubes

Honestly, I'm not sure. Syrian hamsters are a little bigger than what my guy was and it was a tight squeeze.

This is just right for a Golden Hamster. Habitrail makes another for dwarfs and I can't quite think of the name, but you can identify it because the tubing is significantly narrower. Hammy should enjoy this home. :)

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.

My hamster is a small Golden (Syrian) hamster and he is quite comfortable on it.

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.

No . It is way too big for a hamster. This is a good size for a small dog, guinea pig or chinchilla

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

some syrian hamsters are small and some are very big and long. this wheel can fit a small syrian hamster. the best thing i can recommend is to take your syrian hamster to the nearest pet store and see which wheel is most compatible. you may end up getting a traditional wheel for your syrian hamster. petland discounts carries habitrail products, not crittertrail products. petco and petsmart carry crittertrail products, not habitrail products. most of petland discounts' hamster wheels come out of of the package so you can compare their size with your syrian hamster's size. habitrail products are available at petland discounts and they have excellent wheels for syrian hamsters! if you live nearest a petco or petsmart and if they have this crittertrail hamster wheel, i suggest you ask the store employee if you can open the box and see if the wheel fits your hamster. good luck!

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

I would not think so. The base is more like 12x18 in total, so about the size of two shoeboxes stacked. The tube to get upstairs is maybe 1 1/2-2 inches total. My long haired hamster can just barely fit in it.

I bought this product for my gerbil. He chewed the tubes but hamsters chew less normally.(my hamster can not chew tubes).the tubes are like crittertrail tubes, so if he can not chew those,it should be perfectly fine!

I don't see why they wouldn't be. I keep my hamster in this cage and there is a ton of room for him. I can't see why two rats wouldn't be really comfortable in this cage.

I'm not sure how big those specific hamsters are but I think they would work

I don't know what a Russian Hamster is but it fit the Guinea pig great, would also fit a ferret (I've had 2) and fit a young iguana.

In my opinion, Syrian hamsters need a tiny grid. But to answer your question, the spacing between the bars is 3/8" which will be okay for those little hamsters.

yes, a 6.5 inch is definitely too small for a Syrian hamster. The 12" one would be better. Syrian hamsters really stretch out when they run, and they need a larger diameter wheel. A 6.5 inch wheel would make their back arch which can really cause problems for them.

I have a 6.5 inch one for my male Campbells Dwarf hamster, and it fits him very well, so I would think that a Syrian would be too large to fit in it comfortably.
