Hamster Central - View Single Post - Holes in bin cage not mesh and correct size

It’s the floorspace that counts unfortunately so continuous floorspace. Also they do much better with one larger cage than two joined together, even if one of those is 80 x 50. Do you know if you want a dwarf hamster or a Syrian Hamster?

Syrian hamsters do tend to need a lot more space due to the size of their things and wheels. Dwarf hamsters can be fine in a 79 x 40 cage but most people go bigger than that.

There is a very good tank style cage good for a dwarf hamster that isn’t too expensive. Solid sided and narrow bars on top. Any cage will need good ventilation so grid or mesh. Main thing would be to keep the hamster on another room and keep the cars out.

This is the Dina multi. The actual footprint is probably more like 60 x 40 due to the sloping sides so it would fit on a small table with some overhang, but is has good floorspace inside for the hamster once you have say 4” deep substrate in there.

Will post the link separately as on my phone.
