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

The Prevue/alaska might be okay for a male Syrian but I find it very difficult to fit in Syrian size toys and leave enough room for running around. 100 x 50cm really is a better minimum for Syrian hamsters. I recently upgraded one pf my Syrians because I just couldn’t fit enough in the Alaska/Prevue to create an enriching environment. Could you make a DIY or Ikea hack cage? The Ikea Linnmon cage is a really good and affordable option. The Detolf is also popular but I think its little shallow abd narrow for a Syrian tbh

If you want to use the Prevue though, I recommend getting a Russian dwarf hamster. They so much better in smaller spaces and dwarf size toys are a lot easier to fit in the cage.
