I used them (the round ones)years ago and had lots of them linked with tubes like a maze. I was a child at the time and didn't know how bad the cages were.

They are too small. Syrians can't even stand up on their back legs.

The lack of corners made my hamster go to the toilet anywhere.

The tubes are too small for most Syrians.

Dwarfs can't climb the tubes.

They cost a lot of money per unit/add on.

The tubes fall apart and the hamster escapes.

Suitable wheels and toys for Syrian hamsters won't fit in them.

Access to the hamster is limited, which makes taming difficult.

Cleaning out is awkward and messy. You have to unclip the base and then substrate gets spilt.

You can get a big cage for about £40 - £60. What species is your hamster.
