is this sutible for a large hamster? what's the bar spacing?

No, probably not. The bar spacing is about 3/4" - small rats are able to climb between them.

Hi, the spacing is half inch between bars. I measured my cage my hamster is in and it also has half inch spacing. I've had my rats in it since they were very young and no where near full grown so I would say it should be fine. Have a great day.

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

Hello Caroline, should be fine for a hamster. It is a nice size cage and no, I'm looking at it now, and no way your hamster could squeeze through bars.

Answer below is accurate; cage would work well for a guinea pig or small rabbit, but definitely not for a hamster or other small rodent. They could squeeze out or get stuck between the bars.

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 think the cage would be too small. There isn't much room for toys, burrowing, and exploring. You hamster might get bored and start chewing on the cage bars which is bad. Many hamster lovers would suggest getting a 20+ gallon long tank or a 100qt+ bin cage. They're much easier to clean and will stink much less than this small cage. But if you're set on getting this I would advise attaching it to the cage you said your hamster came with.

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. :)

If you had a very hefty Syrian hamster, it might be a very roomy habitat. I think the gaps would be too big (approximately 1" apart), so I would not recommend it.

Should work fine for hamsters. I use mine for a Ball Python, and he can't get out.

It is pretty big. My guinea pig fits in it with room to run around. If you make it a rectangle it is 3 feet long by 18 inches wide. You can make it into a hexagon too. I think your hamster will love it!

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).

Yes it is. It is a big cage. Very roomy. Great for big hamsters. I love it.

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

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

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.

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.
