Is this the right item for a Golden Hamster? It seems as though the tubes are more for a dwarf hamster.

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. :)

My siberian long hair hamster fits just fine in it. they do make one for a dwarf hamster as well. Habitrail OVO Dwarf Hamster Habitat

Yes, it is. the tubes are wider than they look.. actually I think a dwarf hamster would have trouble climbing these tubes. There's also a special habitral ovo for dwarf hamsters which has narrower tubes

No. There's mesh on the bottom that a hamster would have trouble walking on. They're too small. This was made for larger animals.

We have a Syrian hamster and while he fit in this when he was smaller, now that he is full grown he no longer fits. These are for dwarf hamsters and gerbils.

Put a peanut in the top and they will climb to it. I have two different dwarf hamsters each in their own habitat and they both use the tubes.

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

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.

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!

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.

some syrian hamsters are small and some are very big and long. this wheel can fit a small syrian hamster. the best thing i can recommend is to take your syrian hamster to the nearest pet store and see which wheel is most compatible. you may end up getting a traditional wheel for your syrian hamster. petland discounts carries habitrail products, not crittertrail products. petco and petsmart carry crittertrail products, not habitrail products. most of petland discounts' hamster wheels come out of of the package so you can compare their size with your syrian hamster's size. habitrail products are available at petland discounts and they have excellent wheels for syrian hamsters! if you live nearest a petco or petsmart and if they have this crittertrail hamster wheel, i suggest you ask the store employee if you can open the box and see if the wheel fits your hamster. good luck!

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 have a teddybear hamster and she fits fine, she has plenty of room. So, it should be okay for your hammy too!

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.

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 is for a full sized hamster. The Habitrail Dwarf Hamster Habitat is the right cage for a Dwarf Hamster. Dwarf Hamsters can't climb up these toobs. But in the Dwarf Hamster Habitat, they can because the are smaller, so are the Dwarf Hamsters.

The one for the robot hamsters is obviously more suited for the smaller hamsters because they can climb up the tubes that it comes with. This specific cage doesn't come with any tubes. The dwarf hamster tubes are not easy to find nor cheap. If you want to add on, your best bet is to get the dwarf hamster cage. BUT BE AWARE THAT NEITHER WHEEL IS SUITED FOR ROBO/DWARF HAMSTERS. Take the wheel completely out/off, or their legs will get caught and they'll get seriously injured. Purchase a stand-alone wheel from a pet store

I've had it about a year and no problems so far! I have 2 hamsters and there is another one I like better. My hamster is fat so he has a little trouble with the tubes. I'll see if I can find the link to the other one. The wheel is also pretty small.

No, definitely will not work for guinea pigs. For one thing, it's much too small of a cage for them to live in, there would be very little floor space for them to move around in, and the tubes are way too small for a guinea pig to fit in! This will only work for hamsters, either dwarf or Syrian, and even then I recommend adding additions for a Syrian hamster, because it is a bit small for it to live in just this amount of space. But it is a nice size for dwarf hamsters, mine really like these cages.
