Default Re: Hamster cage size

Petal (Russian) is in the Criceti 15 (80x50cm), Stormy (Russian) is in the 133L Wham bin cage (100 x 40cm), Sundae (Robo) is also in a 133L Wham bin, Bigfoot (Syrian) is in the Alaska (80x50cm), and Sunflower is in the 160L RUB clear trunk (100x50cm).

Between 70 x 40cm and 80 x 50cm is a good size for Russian dwarfs, adult Robos need between 80 x 50 and 100 x 50 but they’re quite shy so some benefit from having a smaller starter cage as babies, male Syrians between 80 x 50 and 100 x 50, female Syrians between 100 x 50 and 120 x 50, I’ve never had a chinese hamster but I’m sure someone will offer advice soon. These are just my recommended minimums though and almost all hamsters benefit from having the largest space possible.

I’m most experienced with Russian dwarfs and my favourite cages for them are: Criceti 15, Ruffy 2, Duna Multy, Maxi Duna Multy, and Grosvenor.
