I'm getting two robo dwarf hamsters and is this safe for them?

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 think it is if theyre over 3 - 6 months. At first, they might be afraid to go up to the second tier, but they get used to it. Ive seen my hamsters fall off the second level, doesnt seem to affect them much. Plus I have a good amount of bedding in there.

I wouldn't get this for robos because the bar spacing is pretty big for a robo. I would recommend a bin cage with mesh or 20 gallon aquarium with mesh top! (Both are easy to make and cheaper, I recommend going on YouTube for a tutorial). Hope I helped!

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

Hello Hee! Your hamster will be happiest in a cage with as big of a floor plan as possible. In small cages they can get territorial, which is why you hear about "the mean hamsters" all the time. So my general recommendation is to use something closer in size to a 20 gallon aquarium (which is about the same price if you look around) or even bigger if you can find 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.

It works well for my dwarf hamster, but I would be concerned about the spacing between the wires. I think my dwarf is chubbier than a mouse. Also, you will need a solid wheel. Other than the wheel the cage is perfect for a dwarf hamster (or two).

You can buy two, and depending on how you arrange them, you probably won't need more. But, you can buy one and the house, or two and the transport unit. I have two regulars, a house unit and an tower unit. Unfortunately my life has not been such, that I felt I could take on a couple of hamsters yet. Good luck with your hammies;]

I am not an expert but I have two rats in the cage in so far there should be enough space for one hamster

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.

This is a good cage for a robo hamster, and the wheel is also good. If you get add-on tubes for it, be sure to get the ones for dwarf-size hamsters.

For only a very short time I would say maybe two syrian hamsters but definately more than two very small russian dwarf or robo hamsters.

Yes, I had a dwarf hamster in this cage. I also added a connection tube and other small cage.

We have a Chinese Hamster in our cage. She fits fine in the tunnels (she is bigger than a dwarf), but we put in a different wheel because the one that comes with it is for small dwarf sized hamsters only. Anything bigger than a Chinese Hamster won't work though. We had a teddy bear hamster and she did not fit in the tunnels.

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.

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.

If you have a dwarf hampster the small sized silent spinner might fit. Our hamster needed a larger wheel, so we bought a second small cage that connected to put his wheel in. Sadly our hamster escaped because the latch on one of the exits did not work. The connecting cages are cute and look fun, but I highly recommend avoiding them. Best of luck, keep your furry friend safe.

It is; it has the nutrition a hamster needs. Supplement with fresh fruit and vegetables and your little critters will be very healthy.
