Mine never did, but they also almost never went up to the second floor (and I took out the shelf). I also kept the bedding low enough that they would just miss the bars if they tried. I think the spacing was 1cm or 1.1cm. I no longer have this cage, so I can't measure, but I think that was it.

I think for robos, I'd go with a Sterilite bin, if you're going with a cheap option. Depending on the height, you won't need to cover it at all. For example, 66 quart Latch Box bins are cheap and have larger floor plan than the WARE cage. Easier to clean, access, and see your hamster(s) too:
Sterilite - 1888: 66 Quart Latch Box
They come in clear transparent with various lid colors as well as pink, green, orange, blue, and purple transparent colors.

And there's this shape as well:
Sterilite - 1757: 66 Quart ClearVIew Latch™ Box

These are tall enough that you won't need to cover / mesh them, as long as you don't have any super tall toys right next to the edges. My robos are in a ZooZone and it's permanently open, since they can't ever reach the top (it's the same height as these bins).

I'd say the WARE cage is best for one Russian dwarf hamster or a young Syrian.
