Hamster Central - View Single Post - your opinion on habitrails for dwarf hams?

Ive heard about scientific studies (from you tube videos that i watched from professional channels) where people put female hamsters in 3 different size cages, one being like 100 square inches, another being 600 square inches, and another being like 1800 square inches, and the behaviors of stress EXTREMELY leveled from the small cages to the larger ones, and even in the largest cage some hamsters still showed signs of stress which really proves how much space hamsters need.

This was with unbroken floor space meaning no connecting cages or anything, just one specific sized cage. Broken floor space does not equal to one big cage.

personally i would not recommend these types of setups, plus you are giving profit to general bad company's. Your are better off using a IKEA detolf, 40+ gallon take, or bin cage.
