Yes, a wheel fits fine..Henry' wheel was purple and I attached it to the side opposite the shelf.

This cage definitely has room for an exercise wheel. Our hamster had room for a wheel, plastic house, and hammock (never used, but it was cute!), plus room for the water bottle. He ate on the shelf that was included, but we had no ladder- he just climbed up using the cage wall. I highly recommend this cage for larger hamsters. It's easy to view the hamster, but deep enough for him to feel safe. The biggest plus is how easy this cage is to clean. Happy hamstering !

Yes. I put attach a rat wheel on the side of the cage for a black bear hamster, since she's on the big side for a Syrian.

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.

It is pretty big. My guinea pig fits in it with room to run around. If you make it a rectangle it is 3 feet long by 18 inches wide. You can make it into a hexagon too. I think your hamster will love it!

If you have a dwarf hamster, yes, otherwise, if you have a Syrian hamster, absolutely not. They will get stuck in the tubes, and there isn't enough room on the floor of a cage to put a full size wheel (Syrian hamsters- not dwarfs- need 11 or 12" wheels).

I don't think so... I had a Syrian hamster before. He is an escaper and can squeeze through the smallest bars. I would suggest other Hagen hamster cage, like OVO.

The tubes on this cage are too small for a Syrian hamster. Habitrail has an OVO cage for the Syrian that is exactly like this one but the tubes are larger.

There's not a lot of extra room on the interior of the cage once you put in the food dish and a little hamster hut. I don't think that you'd have room to add a wheel on the inside. The slide that leads up to the existing exterior wheel takes up a good bit of space. I would suggest that you not remove the slide and exterior wheel because those are features that my own hamsters really enjoy with this cage.

As far as the size of the cage, yes I think so. Not sure if hamsters get along that well. May need 2 exercise wheels though. My daughter has had one hamster going on 3 years. We replaced the original cage with this one and has really worked out well. The hamster pulls bedding in and stays in it's house all day. Then at night, he's on and off the wheel for a few hours. This is a great cage. Easy to maintain and good quality.

No it is too small I would say. I would say it is just the right size for a mouse or dewarf hamster, any bigger and they would be cramped. I have the dewarf hamster and can see how he might like some extra space( won't happen) but he would like it.

The wheel is approximately 6" in diameter by 3" deep. It's bigger than some other wheels out there for hamsters. It would not be big enough for a larger animal.

A dwarf hamster shouldn't be able to fit through. They are the same space as you'd see on most hamster cages.. however they do have smaller fences as well

No, I suggest multiple cages or a larger one than this. I got this cage for my dwarf hamster and it is perfect size for her ALONE. I would say if your hamsters get along with each other this would be adequate for only 2 dwarf hamsters only, TOTAL! No more than two! Make sure they have a wheel or 2 wheels AND plenty of food and a good water source! Make sure they are happy and care for your little pets you will only have them for a short amount of time. A two cage set up would be more appropriate for two hamsters even if the cages are connected still make sure they get along. Most hamsters will need to be separated unless they are siblings. Be careful with them as they are unpredictable! Best of luck! No, I suggest multiple cages or a larger one than this. I got this cage for my dwarf hamster and it is perfect size for her ALONE.

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, the wheel mechanism connects to the orange hide-a-way with a white pin. The pin just slides into a hole in the wheel. If your hamster gets a little too active on the wheel the wheel can sometimes come loose and fall off. FYI: This is a beautifully designed cage (aesthetically). However, be sure to clean it scrupulously. The ventilation is poor and chlorine from the hamster's urine can build up quickly.

Yes, this is perfect for a syrian! & exactly the reason that I bought this. I had a Kaytee Crittertrail cage and my Syrian had to wiggle to get through the tubes, so I did research and decided on this. I LOVE it & so does my Syrian! :)

Absolutely, a long haired hamster would love this cage! We would not recommend this cage for dwarf hamsters or any small hamster. Our hamster is a Syrian short hair and has plenty of room and can not fit through the bars. The cage is easy to clean and put back together. Happy hamstering!
