Would a 12 inch hamster wheel fit into this cage?

yes i think it will. it might be a tight squeeze though but the wheel should be able to turn still.

Yes, plenty of room for a 12" wheel. I use my cage for a guinea pig, and it's roomy.

Probably so if it is pretty fat but if a hamster can collapse its body like a mouse, maybe not. It is a very large cage. It does well for our rabbit.

If you have a dwarf hamster, yes, otherwise, if you have a Syrian hamster, absolutely not. They will get stuck in the tubes, and there isn't enough room on the floor of a cage to put a full size wheel (Syrian hamsters- not dwarfs- need 11 or 12" wheels).

I don't have a hedgie so here's what I can say. The space they'd be running on is roughly 2" x 3.5" with a little wiggle room. I also have the 12" and it's not only larger but has a more forgiving angle to the dish, so it would be the safer bet. Definately don't try the small. It's too small even for my mice, and seems more for those very tiny breeds of 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!

This cage definitely has room for an exercise wheel. Our hamster had room for a wheel, plastic house, and hammock (never used, but it was cute!), plus room for the water bottle. He ate on the shelf that was included, but we had no ladder- he just climbed up using the cage wall. I highly recommend this cage for larger hamsters. It's easy to view the hamster, but deep enough for him to feel safe. The biggest plus is how easy this cage is to clean. Happy hamstering !

We had a dwarf hamster in it and now a Syrain. We had a lot of attachment on it for climing and playing. Both did fine, although the dwarf had to have the tunnels flatter because he had a hard time climing initially. The wheel was fine for both. I had problems with the water bottles leaking eventually so bought another whole cage and hooked the two together using only one water bottle.

Absolutely - this cage is very big. Even though I checked the dimensions before ordering, it was bigger than I expected when received. I had to find a different spot in our house to keep our Syrian because it was to big for the table.

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 am sorry but I do not have an answer for you. I used it in connection with another habitrail system. Also, it should be fine for a gerbil. I had a dwarf hamster and a regular hamster and both are fine in there. The dwarf had a hard time climbing up when I contstrcted the cage that way but the normal size one is fine.

It isn't even large enough for a Syrian hamster either (the larger hamsters). They will get too large to fit through the tubes and there also isn't enough room to put an 11" wheel, which is what a Syrian hamster needs. It is really designed for dwarf hamsters and gerbils.

Yes, this should fit fine. I had one of these when I had a critter trail. Loved it, the hamster can't knock over the food dish!

we have a smaller wheel inside the cage. We have not tried it, but I do not think so.

I would go with a larger metal cage, the connection tubes might be to narrow. In addition the hamster will make it's den up in the wheel making it very noisy and messy when he tries to run in it.

Yes. Pinch the prongs at the end of the wheel base. The wheel can be slid off and replaced. I recommend buying 2 or even 3 wheels so they can be run through the dishwasher every other day or so. Otherwise it becomes the gross wheel of hamster pee. As another reviewer stated--it can be placed (& replaced) on the side of the cage ONLY. It is not meant to, nor will it,fit inside the cage

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.

It looks like only small hamster or similar sized animals can fit. To me it just fits our hamster right.
