Hi and welcome to HC! That is such wonderful news that you are getting your first ever pet very soon and I hope that you and your Syrian pal will have the greatest time with one another. As Cypher has mentioned, the cage you are considering getting is much too small. Any of the cages that Cypher suggested will be great for a Syrian. Have fun getting all of the last minute preparations done and getting you new, little fluff. I look forward to seeing you around the forum and getting to know and see your Syrian ham, too.
