Is this too big for a dwarf hamster?

Agree with others, this would be a palace for a dwarf hamster, I'm sure it would be very happy inside :) Just make sure you know your cage dimensions so you know if it'll fit! This hideaway takes up too much space in my massive guinea pig cage so we just use it for floor time.

Yes, it fits a guinea pig inside;). A hamster might like it as a hiding place, but it would be huge..

I would say it is too big.It can fit three adult guinea pigs.Unless you have a massive cage or just plan on using it for floor time, I suggest a smaller one.

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!

Honestly, I'm not sure. Syrian hamsters are a little bigger than what my guy was and it was a tight squeeze.

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

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.

The wheel is approximately 6" in diameter by 3" deep. It's bigger than some other wheels out there for hamsters. It would not be big enough for a larger animal.

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 have a 6.5 inch one for my male Campbells Dwarf hamster, and it fits him very well, so I would think that a Syrian would be too large to fit in it comfortably.

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.

It is a nice cage if you make some modifications for dwarf hamsters. The wiring is close enough to prevent my Russian dwarf from escaping, but you will need to replace the hamster wheel with a solid wheel. I also removed the wire bottom and replaced it with bedding because her tiny feet slipped through and I backed the ladder with cardboard.

We have a Chinese Hamster in our cage. She fits fine in the tunnels (she is bigger than a dwarf), but we put in a different wheel because the one that comes with it is for small dwarf sized hamsters only. Anything bigger than a Chinese Hamster won't work though. We had a teddy bear hamster and she did not fit in the tunnels.

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

No it is too small I would say. I would say it is just the right size for a mouse or dewarf hamster, any bigger and they would be cramped. I have the dewarf hamster and can see how he might like some extra space( won't happen) but he would like it.

I have a dwarf hamster in this cage, but I also have a connection to a smaller cage, to give him more space.

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

It's so small, not sure and my thoughts are, it's probably not a good fit for multiple hamsters, but could be okay for small mice (but I don't know if I'm qualified to answer this) ... this cage was a lot smaller than I realized when I purchased.

I wouldn't recommend this for a dwarf. I have a mini lop (averaging 5-10 pounds) and it is just small enough. A dwarf would more likely fit in a guinea pig leash/harness as their weight and build are similar!

I had a medium for my Syrian and a large would probably have been more fun for the hamster but too large for her play area. Small may be too small. I would try at least a medium.
