Hi ! I was wondering if this cage is safe for an active Syrian hamster ?

This cage is HUGE. I have 2 very large guinea pigs and they have a giant igloo to sleep in and still plenty of room to run.

I don't know much about those hamsters, but I'd think it would be fine. Did you have a specific concern ? The only thing I don't know about is can your hamster fit through tiny spaces (like the spaces between the bars) ? I know I had a small pet mouse when I was a kid that could fit through anything.

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 just measured mine and the gap between the bars is about exactly 1 inch. Hope that helps.

This is just right for a Golden Hamster. Habitrail makes another for dwarfs and I can't quite think of the name, but you can identify it because the tubing is significantly narrower. Hammy should enjoy this home. :)

I think this type of a snap wheel might be a little tight for your Syrian hamster. I have same kind of a Syrian hamster. All depends if it is a dwarf Syrian hamster, then this wheel will be perfect for him/her. Thank you for your question about this kind of a snap wheel.

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.

This would not be a good cage for a hamster. My rabbit (who weighed about 6 pounds), was able to stick her entire nose through the bar. After enough chewing, she was able to make a sizable opening. (one a fancy bear would definitely be able to squeeze through).

This is a very large cage. A hamster would be able to escape through the widely spaces bars. I'd look for something smaller with a tighter grid :)

I had a dwarf hamster in this cage, but I'm sure a normal sized hamster could live in it too, you might just want to give it more space by attaching another cage to it.

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.

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.

This cage definitely has room for an exercise wheel. Our hamster had room for a wheel, plastic house, and hammock (never used, but it was cute!), plus room for the water bottle. He ate on the shelf that was included, but we had no ladder- he just climbed up using the cage wall. I highly recommend this cage for larger hamsters. It's easy to view the hamster, but deep enough for him to feel safe. The biggest plus is how easy this cage is to clean. Happy hamstering !

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.

All hamsters love to escape. Mine escaped from this cage the wheel popped off while she was running so i would say maybe just tape it down? Other than that the cage was safe and my hamsters love it.

It is pretty big. I have a hamster, too, and he loves it. He is a syrian hamster and not a dwarf. For dwarves I suppose it may be a little bit big. The bars are small so they cannot squeeze through it. Again I am speaking for syrians, though. Also, my hamster has attempted to climb it, so you should watch it 100% of the time (especially if you are going outside). Hope this helps. Have fun!

I think I hamster would be able to sneak out in this cage, definitely a mouse...Guinea Pigs and Rabbits are more ideal. I would recommend you maybe look at bird cages if you want to find a big cage suitable for a hamster. They're roomy, and the bars are typically very close together.

I am sorry but I do not have an answer for you. I used it in connection with another habitrail system. Also, it should be fine for a gerbil. I had a dwarf hamster and a regular hamster and both are fine in there. The dwarf had a hard time climbing up when I contstrcted the cage that way but the normal size one is fine.

Some risk of chewing. We had a hamster get out due to a chewed hole. But less than other cages on the market today.

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.
