Default Re: Hello, I'm thinking about getting a hamster

I think that cage is like a US version of the Alaska cage here so it would be on the small side for a Syrian hamster, some people have kept them ok in that cage but as mangoandmimi said it's unlikely to suit a female & even some males may find it too small, it's not ideal for a dwarf ham either unfortunately unless you take a lot of care with how yo set it up as it's quite a tall cage for a dwarf & there is a lot of potential for accidents from bar climbing, they are quite good at climbing up but have little idea how to get down so they just tend to let go & fall! You would need ledges & shelves all the way around to prevent them climbing up high & falling & you would have to take care to be sure if there was anyway they could fall it wouldn't be onto a hard surface.
