Hi Ron - welcome to the forum and to being a hamster parent! You are going to love having a Syrian. I am sure that more experienced posters will comment, but I think the cage you described is to small for a Syrian. If you are in the US, there aren't many good cages for Syrians, so a lot of people recommend aquariums. I myself made the mistake of having too small a cage, but have since upgraded to a 55 gallon aquarium. Make sure to check the Housing section on this board - it is really helpful! Congrats on your hammy! Can't wait to hear updates!
