Default New cage for hamster

Does anyone know if there are any cages that are about 140cm in length? and maybe 60cm or so in width?

I know there are guinea pig cages that big, but the bar width is too large for Hamsters. Maybe there is a way to hamster proof a guinea pig cage?

Any ideas at all would be lovely

You can hamster proof a guinea pig cage by meshing it.
You can buy galvanised mesh in 1cmx1cm/0.5inx0.5in squares, cut it into size with a wire cutter and attach with cable ties.

Only long cage i can think of is the Ikea detolf conversion but you'd need to make a meshed lid and its not that wide.

You could also look into getting an aquarium but again you'd have to make a meshed lid.

I think the biggest hamster cage I know of is the Borneo xl which is about 120cm but I’m not sure if that’s available at the moment.

Depends if you are looking for a cheap option or can afford an expensive cage.

These cages are on the larger size, but expensive
https://www.hamster-homes.com/browse...hamster-cages/

and also the larger rodipet, but still only 120cm, again expensive.

or are you on about a barred cage, something mor elike this:

but you would need to mesh all the barred spacing.

I have the borneo xl (from amazon de). It is a lovely cage but very tall so really needs a second level.

I have 4 female mice in mine. They love it!
