Can teddy bear hamsters fit in this cage

It can fit one, though I would think it is more designed for a dwarf. I have heard a couple of owners complain that the dwarfs can't grip the tube, and haven't seen this as a problem at all. I have two of these cages, one for a dwarf, one for a teddy bear. The only difference is that I took out the dwarf play pen for the teddy bear to give it more room as it couldn't fit in it. It is a tad small, and would have gone with one of JW's larger cages for the Teddy bear, but the build is the best designed cage I've seen and I think it is enough for a Teddy on a Budget.

I bought one for our teddy bear hamster, and I returned it. I didn't think there was nearly enough room with all the other stuff on the interior of this cage. Do not recommend it for larger hamsters.

It is pretty small i dont think they would be happy here, i would get an extender. However my dwarf is too small to get up to the top so maybe its meant for teddy bears

Yes, small enough spacing intended for rats. I use this cage for our teddy bear hamster. No chance of him squeezing through! :)

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

I have a teddybear hamster and she fits fine, she has plenty of room. So, it should be okay for your hammy too!

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.

We have a Syrian hamster and while he fit in this when he was smaller, now that he is full grown he no longer fits. These are for dwarf hamsters and gerbils.

Dont get two Teddy Bear hamsters, they are very independent and 1 will end up hurt or dead.

I have a dwarf hamster in this cage, but I also have a connection to a smaller cage, to give him more space.

Oh my no. The cage is designed for small hamsters, or rodents of similar size. Guinea pigs need a very large, wire cage, as they grow almost as big as rabbits. The bigger and more complex the cage, the better. Rodents are curious, intelligent animals and need plenty of room and mental stimulation to be happy.

I don't think so. I have a female teddy bear hamster and she goes through the tubes just fine, even with her cheeks stuffed to capacity! When I saw her go through her tubes with her cheeks full I was afraid she would get stuck, but she went all the way through with no problem and no hesitation. So unless you have the chunkiest hamster on the planet, I think you'll be perfectly fine using this for your teddy bear hamster. :)

Answer below is accurate; cage would work well for a guinea pig or small rabbit, but definitely not for a hamster or other small rodent. They could squeeze out or get stuck between the bars.

Yes. I use this for my hamster and it's fantastic. Cage stays freasher longer!!

it's about 6 to 8 inches wide. Bare in mind there is a bar in the middle. It's well suited for a small to medium teddy bear hamster.

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).

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.

It is a nice cage if you make some modifications for dwarf hamsters. The wiring is close enough to prevent my Russian dwarf from escaping, but you will need to replace the hamster wheel with a solid wheel. I also removed the wire bottom and replaced it with bedding because her tiny feet slipped through and I backed the ladder with cardboard.

I like this cage a lot since it is much bigger than most cages sold in stores. I doubt it would be big enough for two hamsters though. I have one teddy bear hamster and she has already outgrown both the houses and the wheel and could probably use some more room.
