Yes those vivs are meant to keep a more humid environment which is the opposite of what you’d want for a hamster, that would only work if you made much bigger vents (at least a fully meshed top or side panels) and some alteration for a higher substrate border. Making a meshed lid for a normal glass tank would be an easier DIY job than making that suitable for a hamster.
