Will this be to big or too small for a syrian hamster?

The 12-inch wheel is the perfect size for Syrian hamsters. When they flatten out to run they are quite long. Mine love their giant wheels and can run crazy-fast on them.

Not sure how big those guys get, but I bought this for a sugar glider, and he loves it. I imagine a hamster weighs about the same, though not quite as big of a stride. You could probably get away with a smaller one. This particular wheel is big enough for a chinchilla, and if I still had mice they'd probably try to get two or three on there at a time. So y'know, if you only got one little guy, I'd go with a smaller one, but if you got 3 or more, this should fit the bill nicely.

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 an not sue but i can tell you we bought the smallest dize for a syrian hamster and it was definitely too big!

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!

It's a little less than 1 inch (about 2 cm) between the bars. Not sure if suitable for regular size hamster.

We have a Syrian hamster and while he fit in this when he was smaller, now that he is full grown he no longer fits. These are for dwarf hamsters and gerbils.

Since it works well for my dwarf hamster, I would think it would do fine for a little mouse. I think they would be about the same size IMO.

If you have a dwarf hamster, yes, otherwise, if you have a Syrian hamster, absolutely not. They will get stuck in the tubes, and there isn't enough room on the floor of a cage to put a full size wheel (Syrian hamsters- not dwarfs- need 11 or 12" wheels).

It looks like only small hamster or similar sized animals can fit. To me it just fits our hamster right.

I bought it for a rabbit, and it was WAY too small for the rabbit I had, but he was big! It just depends on how big your hamster is. If it is a bigger hamster, then I would say yes but only if it's a large hamster! I don't know if they make an XS

Yes, but it depends on the hamster. A bigger hamster may require the next size up. If you get this twice, sorry. Hope this helps.

That particular harness is too large for any hamster. It's perfect for a rat, though.

I had a rather large Syrian who used it, but it was actually not quite large enough.

I'm not exactly sure how big it is but it was large enough for my Syrian hamster.

It depends on how big of a hamster you have I have a dwarf hamster and she fits nicely in it because there territoral I would recommend a bigger cage

No, it's way too small! :) after having it for several months, I wouldn't recommend it for hamsters either. The insert at the top is nice in theory but it takes up a lot of room and there is not a lot of space for the little guy. Also, the front opening is too small.

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.
