The large fits a dwarf hamster better than the small. However, moving a small pet can scare it or putting it in a drafty place (like the park) or anywhere cold can get it very sick. For quick trips to the vet or a friend's house or a couple hours (provided you give your dwarf hamster lots of tissues and bedding and toys and food) would be fine. This is a carrier though, not something your pet could stay in overnight.

My little granddaughter takes her little hamster with her to visit her friends' house. That's why she wanted this. It works very well for that.

It works well for my dwarf hamster, but I would be concerned about the spacing between the wires. I think my dwarf is chubbier than a mouse. Also, you will need a solid wheel. Other than the wheel the cage is perfect for a dwarf hamster (or two).

We have a dwarf hamster and the wheel is great for him. I am not that familiar though with other types of hamsters. The diameter of the wheel is 6 inches across if that helps.

This Super Pet Critter Trail Snap on is a good for all dwarf hamsters. And I think this wheel is also good for dwarf syrian hamsters. I have tried it on my big size syrian hamster and she can not fit through the snap on tunnels that connects the super critter trail snap on wheel. Thanks for asking a very good question.

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

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

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).

Fancy/Syrian hamsters should never be kept together. They are solitary creatures. Other types, like robos, are sometimes kept together if they are raised together. In general, for any hamster, the larger the cage the better. They may be small, but they need a variety of enriching activities, and run the equivalent of several miles during the night. A good wheel is vital to any hamster (this cage has a horrible wheel..legs get caught between the slats. Comfy or Silent spinner is much safer) the Hamster Central forums were a great source of information for us when he first got hamsters....wished I'd found them sooner as it would have saved us a lot of money (we bought all the wrong stuff). Good luck.

we had a hedgehog (pigmey) a few years ago. yes I believe it would work, make sure you get them a big wheel for exercise.

I don't see why they wouldn't. My hamster is a happy little guy in this cage. In fact I will buy the same cage for my nephews when they get hamsters.

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

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

I had a dwarf hamster in this cage, but I'm sure a normal sized hamster could live in it too, you might just want to give it more space by attaching another cage to it.

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.

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.
