Default Re: Chinese hamster!

I wouldn't say that it's quite Syrian sized Maybe a senior Syrian who would rather sleep all day than anything else,but a reasonably active Syrian could definitely get bored even in that size.It may seem huge but it's not so much bigger than even a 20 long(which is definitely not enough space for a Syrian).It would also be very difficult to fit enough enrichment into such a cage,and even then with that size it isn't necessarily right for the majority of Syrians who clearly show signs of boredom in that size range.Some people might say it's only because there isn't enough enrichment,but the reality is that it takes a combination of enrichment and a large enough cage.Not one or the other,but both

Of course,that whole deep dark tangent aside it would still be a lovely cage for the majority of dwarf hamsters or potentially some mice!It has further potential as well,since it could be a good travel cage for rats or Syrian hamsters if not otherwise being used.
