Hi. Would someone please tell me what the wire spacing is on this? Thinking of getting this as a Syrian hamster play pen but I don't want escapes. TY!

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

1" and Hamsters can squish pretty flat, just don't know if they can do that sideways!!

Even if they somehow can't manage to get through, unless you get the lid they will be able to climb out. They will most certainly fit out the the spacing though.

It's pretty thin probably half an inch if that keeps our fat one I there pardon the pun lol. Wide enough to to it they teeth on it but no escapes at all possible but I have a Guinea pig not hamster and this cage is huge !

Way to big for a hamster, could fit thru the bars the spacing is too big for hampsters

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's a good size for a Syrian but I think a dwarf hamster could escape. There is larger spacing where the sides of the wire meet in the corners that they could get out. I would suggest a bin cage for a dwarf.

It is the width of any other typical pen. Not excessively wide nor overly narrow. It is a real pen and you can actually write with it and it just feels like a normal size pen. Hope that is helpful.

I believe it should be capable of catching mice; but, not certain about the wire spacing and whether it would prevent the mice from squeezing through. I loaned cage to friend so I can't really measure the wire spacing and give you a good response.

MidWest does make a wire mesh top" for the xpen. Go to the Midwest Pet Products website and you'll find it under "Exercise Pens." I've also seen it listed here on Amazon. The pen does have to apparently be configured into a square (4x4) for it to fit exactly as intended.

This play pen is made of a nice heavy canvas along the top and bottom of the sides with mesh in between and a mesh top. The bottom is also made of the heavy canvas. The mesh has survived our bearded dragon and our blue tongued skink's claws without any unraveling or tears at all. Our hedgehog has also played in it a lot and she attempts to "dig" through the bottom. So far, so good. She has not managed to even scratch the surface of the canvas. All of the seams are well sewn also.

Spacing is about 2 1/2" to 3"... this is a very sturdy pen, and I'm very happy with it. Quite a large interior space, and it goes together fairly easily.

Listen all use the springs from 2 click type ball point pens, take the springs screw them in such away as they wrap around the wire in front of the usb and the pin plug. A dab of super glue at the top of the spring ends and they wont unwind them selves and I guarantee the wire will never break there again but it will not protect the rest of the cord from my cat LOL she likes my iPhone wire to chew on

My cage is the same size as yours, and we have one hide-out and two guinea pigs. We also have a log tunnel and a feeder. They have plenty of room to play. However, they don't use it in the position pictured. They like it clipped to the cage, and turned like another hideout. It comes with a clip so they can't move it around the cage. Also, the one they sent is beige, not black as shown in the picture.

You may have received a faulty pen. If you are referring to the internal threading it should be even. My pen retracts fine. Your pen should also have a rubber O-ring to keep the pen from moving and keeping tension to open and close the pen.

There is a split in the Crittercord that runs the total length of it. After installing I found that wrapping a piece of tape or something similar around each end helps keep the ends of the Crittercord around the wire. Personally, I actually used a small automotive screw clamp like those that would be used on a fuel line. My dogs kept pulling the tape off. I've had good luck with the Crittercord. I have thirteen Bichon Frise's in the house and not one of them has touched the cords since its installation.

A hamster could definitely escape. A rat could escape. A guinea pig wouldnt be able to. Ferrets cant fit through. This playpen is wonderful but for larger rodents and pets. I think there are playpens made specifically for small rodents such as hamsters and mice etc.

I will have to look and get back with you tomorrow. I ordered this cage for my granddaughter's guinea pig. It is nice size but I don't know off hand what the spacing is. I will let you know

Steven,I find it incredibly helpful I need a wider hand spacing in order to comfortably type. If you have the 20 IN cable, you can always go do, but obviously not the other way around!

You will have to ask the manufacturer, although I am very happy with the size and it can form many shapes as you want! It is much larger than an average playpen.

I don't think I've seen any that would be--it's a nice compact little pen for bantams, but it is not really expandable unless you want to build something to fit. I have attached a child play yard to mine using zip ties and some extra 2"x4" welded wire, and that worked well for young chickens (about 2 months old at the time), but they simply grew out of it quite fast. The only thing I'm considering using it for now is a broody hen pen.

Two bunnies should be happy in this pen. I have two 3 month old dogs in and out of it. They have plenty of room to move around. the bottom mat is separate, but worth the money. It is easily washed. its about 4x4 but flexible as to the shape.I now see it is only the mat. You can find this playpen on Amazon. They fit well together.
