Both cages together add up to about 300 square inches but there are 2 levels in one of them. Not ideal but great for the time being until I build something larger.
It's nice to be here with like-minded hamster lovers!

I bet! Levels add enrichment not extra space unfortunately. You could get an Alaska for £30 from zooplus and it's 600sq inches. (80x50cm).
Keep the smaller cages as travel cages so don't worry you haven't wasted your money. What are you using for bedding? Woodshavings aren't good for their respitory system. Unless you are using aspen then it's ok. Another option is paper based like carefresh or Kaytee clean and cosy.
What size ball has she got? Syrians need a 25cm+ ball.
