I have a robovski dwarf hamster, she's really small, would she be able to fit between the bars? How wide are they?

I doubt she'd be able to fit through the bars, they are less than a centimeter apart.

A dwarf hamster shouldn't be able to fit through. They are the same space as you'd see on most hamster cages.. however they do have smaller fences as well

My Robo hamster was fine in the pen. He doesn't fit thru the bars and cannot climb them so you are safe.

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!

No, probably not. The bar spacing is about 3/4" - small rats are able to climb between them.

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.

I don't think so... I had a Syrian hamster before. He is an escaper and can squeeze through the smallest bars. I would suggest other Hagen hamster cage, like OVO.

I use the cage for my ferrets when we travel so I don't have any experience with gerbils. The bars are approximately an inch apart.

I have a teddy bear hamster and it is just fine. I think it would also work for dwarf hamsters because the bar spacing is the same as the cheap little colorful critter trail cages.

I am uncertain- the bars are spaced about 1/2", so if he pushed really a hard, a small hamster might squeeze out...

The bar spacing is too wide for a hamster. It will be able to squeeze through. It works for larger critters, like a guinea pig.

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).

I bought one for our teddy bear hamster, and I returned it. I didn't think there was nearly enough room with all the other stuff on the interior of this cage. Do not recommend it for larger hamsters.

We have a dwarf hamster and the wheel is great for him. I am not that familiar though with other types of hamsters. The diameter of the wheel is 6 inches across if that helps.

abotu 1/2 inch i Keep a sugar glider in it she can't get through the bars, you will have no problem if you use it for a ferret...

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.

the spaces are about 1.5 to 2 inches apart. I haven't measured but definitely too far apart for a hamster. Good size for a bunny, guinea pig or small dog. I use it outside so do not use a mat.

The wheel is significantly larger than the one that came with my cage. I would imagine even an overweight Syrian hamster would feel comfortable running in the wheel that comes with these tubes. The little house and lookout tube might be tight for them though. As far as the wheel goes, it is quite a good size, 6.5" diameter, with a 2" diameter entrance hole. I hope that helps answer your question for your Syrian hamster. A word of caution though, my little Robo hamster loves to poo in his wheel as he runs, so I have to clean the "stableizer" unit included for under the wheel out every day, as it is more of a poo trap than a stableizer. At least it keeps the rest of his cage free and clean of all of those. :-) The wheel is significantly larger than the one that came with my cage.

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
