What are the bar spacing measurements? I want to get this for my syrian/teddy bear hamster but I'm afraid he might squeeze through the bars.

Hi, no he climbs them alot and goes across them hanging by his little front paws like he's on monkey bars but never tries to escape. He can't even if he tried cuz the bars are to close together. The only way he could get out is if I left the door open by accident. Also like the last person said. I did when I put the cage together use small black plastic pull ties and pull the sides together real tight then cut the ends off and they hardly show but it made the cage that much more safe for my critters. Have a great day.

Half an inch. Not sure what a syrian/teddy bear hamster is but this cage is perfect for small pets. Hamsters, gerbils, mice, sugar gliders.

The bars are spaced 1/2in. apart but when you put it together the parts where the walls meet are a little spaced. however it's easily fixable with ties so I suggest it if your hamster won't squeeze through 1/2in!

I think you'll be fine. The openings are very small I doubt even a mouse could squeeze through unless it was a baby

The bars are like 1/4 of an inch apart. Doubtful your hamsters could squeeze through. This is a great cage and more then big enough for the little guys. I hope you enjoy it.

I believe the spacing is 1/2 an inch. I believe that this would be great for multiple hamsters, as the cage is giant! I got it for my rat, and even she looks tiny in it! Hope this helps!

Bar spacing measurements are 1/2"The standard for all "small animals" (juvenile rats, mice, hamsters, etc.)

Hi, the spacing is half inch between bars. I measured my cage my hamster is in and it also has half inch spacing. I've had my rats in it since they were very young and no where near full grown so I would say it should be fine. Have a great day.

I believe the bar spacing is 3/4" or 1". I have a Parrolet in it and it is wonderful!! I had originally ordered a bigger cage with 1 1/2" and he got out. This cage will hold a parakeet or larger. I wouldn't put anything larger than a Conure or Pionus in though. I think anything larger would need more room.

The individual bar spacing is very narrow. You could fit your finger through the space, but that's about it. Our bunny did try to dig underneath, but the bars had no problem keeping him in otherwise.

I don't own it any more to measure it. Our dog died. Although I can tell you that it is not the bar spaces that would be a problem foe rabbits. You need a tray that is located under a wire bottom for rabbits unless you have time to clean it daily. If not you will quickly get maggots and flies. And if they sit in their own waist, the maggots will enter the rabbits back end. I tried using a litter box in a cage for a rabbit once and that happened to my rabbit.

I wouldn't get this for a hamster. The bars are really far apart and flexible so they would slip right out. Its also really huge and hamsters like the small tight spaces of a reg hamster cage.

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 had a golden hamster a couple years ago and he would have easily fit through the bars. Not sure how much bigger syrian hamsters are?

Sorry for the delay, the spacing between the bars is 1.25 inches. It is a great dog crate. My Oliver loves it.

This is just right for a Golden Hamster. Habitrail makes another for dwarfs and I can't quite think of the name, but you can identify it because the tubing is significantly narrower. Hammy should enjoy this home. :)

Hi Melanie, The bar spacing is 1/2 inch. I have a Cockatiel and this bar spacing is perfect for a bird his size.

No, she she shouldn't be able to fit through the bars...I have Degus in my 3 cages and they're smaller than chinchillas. However, I would look for a cage that is taller...chinchillas love to jump and climb. I feel that this wouldn't give her the space she would need. It's a great cage, but I feel that it's more suited for smaller animals...Degus, gerbils, rats...those types. Hope this helps!

maybe 1/2 inch. Not sure since I bought it for someone else. Hamster has never squeezed through it

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.

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).

The spacing is an inch. I do not think a hamster could escape but I'm not sure as I do not have one, if you use the mat if it gives it about 6 inches of solid protection around the cage. They do make cages that are made for hamsters.

The spacing between the bars is very small, we have a small Silky, and he could never get out of this by going between the bars or the sections where it is held together. The Pawhut is in our Motorhome out of state right now, so I can't measure the spacing, but it has not been a problem with a small dog.

NO!!!! Do NOT use this for a hamster!!! I used this as a playpen for my adult hamster, and within 60 seconds, she had her head and neck caught between the bars and nearly killed herself. Fortunately the bars were flimsy enough that I was able to separate them easy and release my poor girl. I promptly put this in storage until I can use it for a larger animal.
