Would this cage work for a large syrian hamster?

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

Probably so if it is pretty fat but if a hamster can collapse its body like a mouse, maybe not. It is a very large cage. It does well for our rabbit.

I'm not exactly sure how big it is but it was large enough for my Syrian hamster.

I have a dwarf hamster in mine - they dont get as large as a teddy bear hamster. If you plan on letting it use an excercise ball or add connecting tubes to enlarge it. I think I would go with a larger cage.

regardless, this cage would completely dwarf any hamster! definitely not needed for a hamster.

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

Unless the hedgehog is the size of an albino mouse, then no. The tubes are way too narrow for even a standard sized hamster. I would doubt that any cage specified for a hamster of any size would be too small. You may be better off getting a cage meant for a guinea pig or rabbit, since hedgehogs do tend to continue growing. There are links to make your own cages(which we did for our guinea pigs)on Google. www.guineapigcages.com/howto.htm is the site we used to make our cages. Total cost would run you about $40 and that is for the 4ftx2ft.

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.

Not sure of the size of a syrian hamster. On internet, i see can be 15 cm (4.5 inch). Me for be sure with my hedgehog, I take a 12 inch and its very fantastic. Very silent. Dont understand the noices during the night and my hedgehog love it. If you think its a little bit to higher, just put a little slope in front.

Hamsters are solitary animals. Dwarf hamsters (siblings or currently caged together) can live together but if they start fighting they will kill eachother. Males and females should never live together unless they are together for breeding. Syrians (also known as goldens, teddy bears etc) must live alone. This cage is not however large enough for a Syrian hamster (my girl is a "teddy bear"). I currently have 2 of these cages connected and will be adding more space shortly. but most importantly I do not find this cage suitable to house two hamsters at once (even 2 dwarfs). It simply isn't large enough. Don't get me wrong, I love the cage and have 2 of them as I stated above but for my hamster, she is simply too large for the space in just one cage, the wheel is also too small so I had to purchase a larger one. I wish I had known all of this prior to purchasing my first cage but I'm making it work and im simply adding more space as I can.

The wire spacing is enough for a hamster to escape. I've seen my piggies pushing their noses and paws through to get at treats or when I show up. Plus with the size of the cage it is massive compared to the hammie.

It really is rather large - I doubt that it would even fit in their cage. My Guinea Pigs are all full grown and when one of them curls up, it takes up the entire bed. They all weigh around 2# and a Dwarf Hamster fits in the palm of your hand. It wouldn't give them the comfort they're looking for.

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.

I don't necessarily think that it's too big for a dwarf hamster. It would easily fit a normal sized guinea pig, so it just depends on how much room you want to give your hamster. Personally, I think that hamsters of any size would love this. This would be great if you're letting your hamster have time outside of it's cage; otherwise, I would think that it would be too big for a hamster cage. Great product!

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.

I bought mine for my rats and on my bigger rat, it was too small but for my smaller rat it was too big. So for a hamster I would see if they have an extra small

Well, I'm really not sure. I bought it for a lizard and it was too tight for him. My guess is it just might be perfect for a syrian hamster, but not having one I can't say for certain. Sorry

That particular harness is too large for any hamster. It's perfect for a rat, though.
