I have a hamster and need to give it some out-of-the-cage time in a playpen. I only read reviews about ferrets and guinea pigs. How big is it?

The pen itself is large enough, but wouldn't be appropriate for hamsters as they could easily fit between the vertical bars and get out.

This isn't good for a hamster. He would get out for sure. It measures as it says and you can arrange it differetly. 15 by 16

I got this for our rabbit for the same reason to give him some time out of his cage and it was plenty big for him and he seemed to enjoy it until he started jumping out. I don't know exactly how big it is but it was plenty big for him. And it's easy to fold up and store anywhere.

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!

It is pretty big. I have a hamster, too, and he loves it. He is a syrian hamster and not a dwarf. For dwarves I suppose it may be a little bit big. The bars are small so they cannot squeeze through it. Again I am speaking for syrians, though. Also, my hamster has attempted to climb it, so you should watch it 100% of the time (especially if you are going outside). Hope this helps. Have fun!

I purchased this for our guinea pig & it is a pretty good size for her, but I don't think it would provide ample room for a ferret who require more exercise than a g.p. Also, I'd be a little concerned about the stability of it for a ferret...

Honestly, I'm not sure. Syrian hamsters are a little bigger than what my guy was and it was a tight squeeze.

It is pretty big. My guinea pigs fit into it and they are pretty chubby. A better choice would be the mini cuddle cup. I didn't notice the mini part in the description and ordered them and they were very tiny. Petco or Petsmart carries them and they are prettier than the Kaytee cup too.

It was far too small for my guinea pigs, but they are big guinea pigs. It is adjustable, but I think it might be too big for a hamster, I think it is made for smaller guinea pigs.

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.

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.

I don't know much about those hamsters, but I'd think it would be fine. Did you have a specific concern ? The only thing I don't know about is can your hamster fit through tiny spaces (like the spaces between the bars) ? I know I had a small pet mouse when I was a kid that could fit through anything.

Not sure how big fancy rats are or what they are...we have a teddy bear hamster and he loves it. He's a good sized and, when he stands up against the rails, he's nowhere near the top. However, he's really, really docile and complacent. Not much of a climber...so he doesn't even try to figure out ways to get out. He just hangs out in there. I wouldn't leave them alone in it, but it's great to get them out of their cages for a bit and not have them on the hands. I highly recommend it quality wise. It's a nice product.

I've never had a ferret as a pet but I think it would be. It's plenty big for our two grown guinea pigs.

I think I hamster would be able to sneak out in this cage, definitely a mouse...Guinea Pigs and Rabbits are more ideal. I would recommend you maybe look at bird cages if you want to find a big cage suitable for a hamster. They're roomy, and the bars are typically very close together.

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.

Yes, hamsters are pretty flexible. I can fit my hand through the slots through the door. I would say it's even too big for a guinea pig.

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.

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 have never owned Ferrets before. But, this is a pretty big cage. I had 2 Rats in it with plenty of room. My guess is it would be big enough for one Ferret.

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
