I think the Robo Rodipet house would probably be ok actually. It’s 20 cm deep - about 8”. So the larger compartments are probably at least 5” long. The dwarf 8 room one is 28 cm deep. So an extra 8cm of depth which is about 3.5 to 4” deeper and an extra small compartment. So the larger compartments aren’t going to be much bigger. If you felt the larger compartments weren’t quite big enough in the Robo one you could saw out one of the dividers.

I have done that before. It does need sawing though - had to get OH to do mine. And then just a light sand where you’ve taken the bit out. I do prefer the Rodipet ones to the getzoo ones personally. They are well made and hamsters naturally seem to use one larger room for nesting and one room as a toilet - hence it’s good to put a toilet tray in with sand in and out last Robo used his as well. They usually choose the adjoining large compartment at the back as a toilet and nest in one of the front larger compartments.
