Will this cage be good for a Syrian hamster?

The tubes on this cage are too small for a Syrian hamster. Habitrail has an OVO cage for the Syrian that is exactly like this one but the tubes are larger.

We ordered two both arrived broken. We never got to use the habitat. Sorry, I can't really help you.

No...unless it's a baby. This cage is good for hamsters, gerbils, rats, etc., as long as they are adults. I had new hatch bantam chicks in mine, and the bar spacing was sufficient to keep those tiny birds inside.

I wouldn't get this for a hamster. The bars are really far apart and flexible so they would slip right out. Its also really huge and hamsters like the small tight spaces of a reg hamster cage.

I've had this cage for 5 months. I don't have rats, but I keep a pretty big teddy bear hamster in it. I was concerned about the bar spacing as well, since rat cages seem to be bigger than hamster cages, but I had no problems whatsoever. I would think that if the bars can keep my hamster contained, it would be more than sufficient for rats.

I think it would work if it's a big hamster. It's a good size. We couldn't use it because we have dwarf hamsters. When it came I looked at my husband and laughed, the spaces in the cage are too big for a small animal. Good luck!

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

Gosh I don't know. I have mice. Syrians are quite a bit larger than mice, and I think the 11" Wodent Wheel (available online) would be more comfortable for a hamster.

I would go with a larger metal cage, the connection tubes might be to narrow. In addition the hamster will make it's den up in the wheel making it very noisy and messy when he tries to run in it.

In my opinion, Syrian hamsters need a tiny grid. But to answer your question, the spacing between the bars is 3/8" which will be okay for those little hamsters.

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

A small Syrian hamster could maybe fit in this ball. You can always return it, also a full sized rat could NEVER fit in this ball. My dwarf hammy barly fits.

This has space for a teddy bear hamster but not enough for any spiecies of hamster the minimum cage size is 360 square inches for all spiecies of Hamster. atach other parts to make it suitable and your hamster will live a happy healthy life. Go bigger if you can. The bigger the better.

It could fit either hamster. I have one syrian/teddy bear hamster, and she fits perfectly in her home.

No . It is way too big for a hamster. This is a good size for a small dog, guinea pig or chinchilla

This is a good cage for a robo hamster, and the wheel is also good. If you get add-on tubes for it, be sure to get the ones for dwarf-size hamsters.

My daughter has a teddy bear hamster in this cage and it is good enough but for just a short amount of time because there isn"t much room for the hamster to run around.

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.
