can Syrian hamsters fit into this cage

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.

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.

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.

Fancy/Syrian hamsters should never be kept together. They are solitary creatures. Other types, like robos, are sometimes kept together if they are raised together. In general, for any hamster, the larger the cage the better. They may be small, but they need a variety of enriching activities, and run the equivalent of several miles during the night. A good wheel is vital to any hamster (this cage has a horrible wheel..legs get caught between the slats. Comfy or Silent spinner is much safer) the Hamster Central forums were a great source of information for us when he first got hamsters....wished I'd found them sooner as it would have saved us a lot of money (we bought all the wrong stuff).

This cage is too small for hamsters. These creatures are inquisitive and will be bored without tubes, boxes, and nesting material to play with.

I don't see why they wouldn't. My hamster is a happy little guy in this cage. In fact I will buy the same cage for my nephews when they get hamsters.

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.

Yes! I now have a robo hamster in this cage and the cage and wheel is perfect, I was worried it might be too big but it is not at all.

Yes, definitely. My hamster was also huge. I had the same fear but she fit. It's a spacious cage.

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.

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

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, 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!

I don't know anything about hamsters. I bought this for my grand daughter's rats and ther is more than enough room for the two of them to be happy.

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.
