welcome to the forum & congrats on your new ham!

Have you had a look at this thread yet?
Let's see your cages - New thread - July 2017
You can get lots of cage ideas there.

Personally I prefer barred cages as they allow better interaction & with the right bar spacing you wouldn’t have to worry about your ham escaping.
There seem to be very few hamster cages or tanks around at the moment but you might get lucky if you’re going for something second hand & prefer a tank style.
Two good barred cages that are still available are the hamster heaven (best used without the tubes & penthouse) from Amazon or the grosvenor hamster cage either of those would be suitable for a Russian ham.
