Does it work well with hamsters?

I bought mine for my rats and on my bigger rat, it was too small but for my smaller rat it was too big. So for a hamster I would see if they have an extra small

I think it would be too big for a hamster unless it was a pretty big hamster. It is relatively small, but I don't believe it is that small! May a guinea pig size...

Yes. I have had it connected to a critter trail cage. So it is fine. As for a gerbil I don't know. I had a robo hamster and they are SMALL and I had to buy another cage because it was way too small for him.

It's so small, not sure and my thoughts are, it's probably not a good fit for multiple hamsters, but could be okay for small mice (but I don't know if I'm qualified to answer this) ... this cage was a lot smaller than I realized when I purchased.

It really depends on the size of the hamsters. We have a teddy bear and I can't imagine but any others in it.

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.

No, the spacing is too large for hamsters. Excellent cage for chinchillas, guinea pigs, and adult rats. We use it for a Holland Lop rabbit.

No... just right for hamster. The tubes will be too small for a guinea pig.

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 dont think it will. It might fit a guinea pig but I don't think it would fit a hamster.

Absolutely, a long haired hamster would love this cage! We would not recommend this cage for dwarf hamsters or any small hamster. Our hamster is a Syrian short hair and has plenty of room and can not fit through the bars. The cage is easy to clean and put back together. Happy hamstering!

Yes. I have a Californian rabbit that this works well with, so it will definitely work with a hedgehog.

This model would only fit a very small rabbit. It would work well for a hedgehog, guinea pig, hamster, rat, mouse, gerbil, flying squirrel and even some herps, such as a bearded dragon, chameleon, etc. It will be a bit tight for most rabbits, large chinchillas, etc.

I think this type of a snap wheel might be a little tight for your Syrian hamster. I have same kind of a Syrian hamster. All depends if it is a dwarf Syrian hamster, then this wheel will be perfect for him/her. Thank you for your question about this kind of a snap wheel.

Yes! We have 2 large Siberian hamsters in ours, it's great!! Plenty of room!

I wouldn't recommend it unless the hamster was already grown and larger than 5 or 6 inches. It could squeeze between the bars. Its also way more space than a hamster typically requires. Experience: worked with hamsters and other small animals at Petco for 10 months.

Unless the hedgehog is the size of an albino mouse, then no. The tubes are way too narrow for even a standard sized hamster. I would doubt that any cage specified for a hamster of any size would be too small. You may be better off getting a cage meant for a guinea pig or rabbit, since hedgehogs do tend to continue growing. There are links to make your own cages(which we did for our guinea pigs)on Google. www.guineapigcages.com/howto.htm is the site we used to make our cages. Total cost would run you about $40 and that is for the 4ftx2ft.

I do not know about gerbils. I have used this with guinea pigs and rabbits and they do great with it.
