Can a Dwarf Hamster escape from this cage?

My ferret has broken out of the cage. She broke the bars by grabbing on to them with her teeth and pulling. She is a lot bigger than a hamster but I would image if she could get out a small hamster could too

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

Very easily. The gaps in the wires are huge. My doors were bent out so much my chinchilla almost got out.

Yes, A good rule of thumb for rodents is that they can escape through anything they can fit their head through. These bars are wide enough to more than just their little head to fit though if they really tried

it's pretty small, my dwarf hamsters have no problems and sometimes their little tails poke through when they sit and its super cute. gerbils should be fine.

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.

I have a dwarf hamster and he is fine in it , the only thing he did was start chewing on a plastic piece at the top, I just put a small tube in the spot so he couldn't get up there anymore and he's fine. But there has never been a problem with the bars

Absolutely not! This cage is too small for anything other than a Dwarf Hamster or small mice.

Should work fine for hamsters. I use mine for a Ball Python, and he can't get out.

The large fits a dwarf hamster better than the small. However, moving a small pet can scare it or putting it in a drafty place (like the park) or anywhere cold can get it very sick. For quick trips to the vet or a friend's house or a couple hours (provided you give your dwarf hamster lots of tissues and bedding and toys and food) would be fine. This is a carrier though, not something your pet could stay in overnight.

There is a slight space between the tray and the cage where my chinchilla managed to keep escaping. I think with a rabbit and its size that you might be okay.

regardless, this cage would completely dwarf any hamster! definitely not needed for a hamster.

Yes.DO NOT get this cage. We are the second reveiewer to report waking up to our hamster hanging dead with neck caught between second floor and outer wall.

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.

Hamsters are solitary animals. Dwarf hamsters (siblings or currently caged together) can live together but if they start fighting they will kill eachother. Males and females should never live together unless they are together for breeding. Syrians (also known as goldens, teddy bears etc) must live alone. This cage is not however large enough for a Syrian hamster (my girl is a "teddy bear"). I currently have 2 of these cages connected and will be adding more space shortly. but most importantly I do not find this cage suitable to house two hamsters at once (even 2 dwarfs). It simply isn't large enough. Don't get me wrong, I love the cage and have 2 of them as I stated above but for my hamster, she is simply too large for the space in just one cage, the wheel is also too small so I had to purchase a larger one. I wish I had known all of this prior to purchasing my first cage but I'm making it work and im simply adding more space as I can.

Yes, it's small enough that a ferret won't squeeze through, but a hamster very likely could. There is almost a full inch of space between the vertical bars.

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

Hello Caroline, should be fine for a hamster. It is a nice size cage and no, I'm looking at it now, and no way your hamster could squeeze through bars.

I have a dwarf hamster in mine - they dont get as large as a teddy bear hamster. If you plan on letting it use an excercise ball or add connecting tubes to enlarge it. I think I would go with a larger cage.

This would not be a good cage for a hamster. My rabbit (who weighed about 6 pounds), was able to stick her entire nose through the bar. After enough chewing, she was able to make a sizable opening. (one a fancy bear would definitely be able to squeeze through).
