Is this big enough for a teddy bear hamster?

No, it isn't. The cage doesn't have enough floor space to fit the size wheel that a teddy bear hamster needs (they need 11" wheels). The kind that comes with this cage is for dwarf hamsters or gerbils. Teddy bear hammies also will get stuck in the tubes. If you have a teddy bear you will want something like a wire cage without tubes (or those that can use the ferret type of tubing).

I wouldnt recommend it for a teddy bear hamster that usually is the size of your whole hand. He wouldn't be able to enjoy it for play, eat, sleep and pee/poop in just this one.

No, it's a pretty small cage. I think it's too small even for a mouse. I would get the biggest cage you can, the large reptile aquariums are nice. Buy a large Wodent Wheel (available online), and fill the cage with tubes, small boxes, and orchard grass or hay for the little guy to explore and build nests.

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.

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

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!

Yes. I put attach a rat wheel on the side of the cage for a black bear hamster, since she's on the big side for a Syrian.

You could use this. The space between the grates is narrow enough that a hamster (I think) couldn't squeeze through. Honestly I think this may be taller than what you need for a hamster but if you have the space I guess it doesn't matter.

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.

Our hamster is a teddy bear hamster... and its great for him. I wouldn't put TWO of them in there, however. It might be kinda cramped, unless you get into the add'ons. We just have the base unit, no fancy tubes or attachments.

Absolutely not! This cage is too small for anything other than a Dwarf Hamster or small mice.

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, hamsters are pretty flexible. I can fit my hand through the slots through the door. I would say it's even too big for a guinea pig.

it's about 6 to 8 inches wide. Bare in mind there is a bar in the middle. It's well suited for a small to medium teddy bear hamster.

No, I suggest multiple cages or a larger one than this. I got this cage for my dwarf hamster and it is perfect size for her ALONE. I would say if your hamsters get along with each other this would be adequate for only 2 dwarf hamsters only, TOTAL! No more than two! Make sure they have a wheel or 2 wheels AND plenty of food and a good water source! Make sure they are happy and care for your little pets you will only have them for a short amount of time. A two cage set up would be more appropriate for two hamsters even if the cages are connected still make sure they get along. Most hamsters will need to be separated unless they are siblings. Be careful with them as they are unpredictable! Best of luck! No, I suggest multiple cages or a larger one than this. I got this cage for my dwarf hamster and it is perfect size for her ALONE.

A 15 inch tall teddy bear can fit just fine. The leg holes are not very wide, only about 2 1/2 inches.

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.

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

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.
