Re: Chinese hamster!
Jessie, my smallest Chinese has a Sputnik which at the moment has some substrate and ripped toilet tissue inside and she quite likes it but not as much as her 'special bed' (aka hammock). She'll usually sleep up in her hammock.
Jessie in particular really thrived in a barred cage as I think she liked the extra scope for climbing toys and interaction but my boys seem happier with the additional security that their bin cages offer so it really does depend on the hamster. There's no reason why your Chinese wouldn't be happy in a tank providing that they're not too overwhelmed with space.
