Can you use it to feed a hamster?

It would depend on the size IMG_4367.pngof the pellets & how many days you would want to set it for. It would need to be small pellets & I don't know how much a hamster eats but it doesn't hold a lot of food.

I don't necessarily think that it's too big for a dwarf hamster. It would easily fit a normal sized guinea pig, so it just depends on how much room you want to give your hamster. Personally, I think that hamsters of any size would love this. This would be great if you're letting your hamster have time outside of it's cage; otherwise, I would think that it would be too big for a hamster cage. Great product!

Yes. A dwarf hamster could walk through the bars. Dwarfs do their best when in aquariums.

It might fit a large hamster but I think it would be able to squeeze right out of it.

Yes, but it depends on the hamster. A bigger hamster may require the next size up. If you get this twice, sorry. Hope this helps.

I am sure you can but will check with my niece. I bought it for her hamster and it lives elsewhere!

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.

I would think you would be able to if you supplemented it with a small amount of easy access food. I do not put any treats in this only cat foot. My larger cat, who loves the feeder, primarily only eats out of it for his dry food. I regulate it so it doesn't feed really fast because it does spit it out when you fill it. My kitties (3) get split 1 3oz can in the mornings.

No, it's way too small! :) after having it for several months, I wouldn't recommend it for hamsters either. The insert at the top is nice in theory but it takes up a lot of room and there is not a lot of space for the little guy. Also, the front opening is too small.

This food is specially made for adult guinea pigs, so I don't know if it would give the proper nutrients to a hamster. You might want to do a Google search to see if Oxbow makes hamster food. I hope that helps.

I think the cage would be too small. There isn't much room for toys, burrowing, and exploring. You hamster might get bored and start chewing on the cage bars which is bad. Many hamster lovers would suggest getting a 20+ gallon long tank or a 100qt+ bin cage. They're much easier to clean and will stink much less than this small cage. But if you're set on getting this I would advise attaching it to the cage you said your hamster came with.

I think so, but I'd have to ask my daughter, It was for my granbaby's hamster

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

Absolutely not. Its okay for hamster or gerbil, but nothing bigger. I have owned a pet hedgehog and the Ware topper would not be the right size set up. It would be too small. Tubes, wheel, and actual cage size would all be too small for a hedgehog. Plus it would be very difficult to provide appropriate heat source.

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

You can only control the food by how much you put in the dispenser at one time. If you fill it, the hamster, in my case, would get food when he wanted it and pick through what he didn't like. Well made, sturdy, easy to access and clean.
