No no no! Soufflé has said it all really. The Omlet is a terrible cage anyway. Not suitable - vertical tube and wire floor, not escapeproof and too small. Even 2 joined together for one hamster wouldn’t be good. Have a look in Zooplus. The Barney, Alaska and Alexander cages are all popular, ideal for Syrians and recommended. Also much cheaper. If you prefer the furniture look and tank style then the 98cm Marrakesh is good. Amazon also sell the maxi dubs multy which is a lovely Perspex tank style cage.

Breeding is something that should not really be done without learning from experienced breeders and understanding the genetics. Or you can get awful things like eyeless hamsters. You could join the National Hamster Councik and discuss with other breeders first.

There is also the detolf jack on a kallax unit which looks just as nice. Much bigger though. I would just get one hamster for now and get to know them. Google “hamster detolf” and click on images. There are some amazing hamster habitats in these and they look nice in a room on top of kallax storage units. Quite a cheap option too although you need to do a little bit of diy to make a lid.
