Is this cage good for a Syrian hamster?

If you had a very hefty Syrian hamster, it might be a very roomy habitat. I think the gaps would be too big (approximately 1" apart), so I would not recommend it.

I think the cage would be too small. There isn't much room for toys, burrowing, and exploring. You hamster might get bored and start chewing on the cage bars which is bad. Many hamster lovers would suggest getting a 20+ gallon long tank or a 100qt+ bin cage. They're much easier to clean and will stink much less than this small cage. But if you're set on getting this I would advise attaching it to the cage you said your hamster came with.

I have a teddybear hamster and she fits fine, she has plenty of room. So, it should be okay for your hammy too!

This would not be a good cage for a hamster. My rabbit (who weighed about 6 pounds), was able to stick her entire nose through the bar. After enough chewing, she was able to make a sizable opening. (one a fancy bear would definitely be able to squeeze through).

ok so i really dont like this cage as a stand alone cage cuz first its ventilation is poor slso hamsters need a minimum of 360 square inches of floorspace which to find is length x width and i would recoemnd 2 lofts connected with eaacdh other or try a bin but but the bin somewhere high up so ur cat cant get it

Yes, I had a dwarf hamster in this cage. I also added a connection tube and other small cage.

There are a few problem I see, they like to use the corner and there isn't really anything there to not let that go everywhere and they cant burrow into the bedding.The grate does NOT come out. I wouldn't suggest to use this cage for a hamster, there is probably a way to fix those two problems. They may also lift the door up, so put a safety pin to hold them down.

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

Yes! I now have a robo hamster in this cage and the cage and wheel is perfect, I was worried it might be too big but it is not at all.

Yes.DO NOT get this cage. We are the second reveiewer to report waking up to our hamster hanging dead with neck caught between second floor and outer wall.

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.

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.

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

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.

This is a good cage for a robo hamster, and the wheel is also good. If you get add-on tubes for it, be sure to get the ones for dwarf-size hamsters.

We have a Chinese Hamster in our cage. She fits fine in the tunnels (she is bigger than a dwarf), but we put in a different wheel because the one that comes with it is for small dwarf sized hamsters only. Anything bigger than a Chinese Hamster won't work though. We had a teddy bear hamster and she did not fit in the tunnels.
