For a Syrian,four Ikea Lack tables would be good!They'd give around a square meter of space and can be purchased cheaply,plus all you need to do is mesh them,create a lid,and make cheap substrate borders from cardboard to have a very minimal DIY cage that is an appropriate size for Syrians.This option would probably end up costing less than a similar sized cage from a pet store,and in fact the largest cages you can buy that are specifically for hamsters are about 100 cm x 50 cm.Anything larger requires modification and costs way more money,so in terms of the cost and space DIY is the best option for a Syrian and Lack tables make it very cheap!
