Is this OK for a Golden Hamster?

I am uncertain- the bars are spaced about 1/2", so if he pushed really a hard, a small hamster might squeeze out...

I'm not sure how small your hamster is. I can tell you that when my rats were babies (6 weeks old) the bars were too far apart for them they could have escaped if i had put them in it at the time. I imagine a hamster is similar in size to a baby rat. The size of a large mouse??

I wouldn't recommend it unless the hamster was already grown and larger than 5 or 6 inches. It could squeeze between the bars. Its also way more space than a hamster typically requires. Experience: worked with hamsters and other small animals at Petco for 10 months.

Well I didn't even get the cage that's pictured. I'm sure the one they sent me is a little bigger. It's pretty big, even for my two rats. You may want to try finding something a little smaller, unless you want a huge cage.

it's pretty small, my dwarf hamsters have no problems and sometimes their little tails poke through when they sit and its super cute. gerbils should be fine.

I think it would be too big for a hamster unless it was a pretty big hamster. It is relatively small, but I don't believe it is that small! May a guinea pig size...

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).

Should work fine for hamsters. I use mine for a Ball Python, and he can't get out.

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.

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.

Our hamster is a teddy bear hamster... and its great for him. I wouldn't put TWO of them in there, however. It might be kinda cramped, unless you get into the add'ons. We just have the base unit, no fancy tubes or attachments.

A hamster could escape with ease. This is not for mice, hamsters etc. Chinchillas, rabbits, small dogs and kittens would be fine in this enclosure. But anything that can flatten out and get its skull through a 1 inch opening is definitely going to escape.

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.

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.

Yes, definitely. My hamster was also huge. I had the same fear but she fit. It's a spacious cage.

I would say "no", our hamster is a bit of a pudge and I wonder if he will get stuck at times!

Yes . And This it much to big for a hamster u would be spending a lot of money on somthing you dont need! Just look up hamster play pen. I'm sure you'll find somthing smaller

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

I have always used this for my hamsters! Just remember to change it often so it doesn't get stinky.

You could use this. The space between the grates is narrow enough that a hamster (I think) couldn't squeeze through. Honestly I think this may be taller than what you need for a hamster but if you have the space I guess it doesn't matter.
