I wouldn't recommend an Alaska cage for a dwarf ham if you mean a Russian, I have used it for Chinese but they are much more agile & you can use hammocks with them as they rarely if ever chew fabric, it is possible to make a taller cage safe but it really isn't that easy so I would go for another option. The Samla isn't that big especially as the sides slope but it could just about be ok for a Russian.
