I struggle to see how you could get a strong amount of bedding into the confines of an Exo Terra. You would most definitely have enough for the hamster to submerge itself, but not enough to make a decent burrowing system, which I think we all want for our hamsters. This is my main fault with Exo Terra's as they are otherwise a brilliant find and, at the cost that you found it, an excellent home for hamsters.

90x50 is practically the minimum, which is something I thought should be mentioned. If you're splurging on such a cage, then the size of the cage and further the overall quality of the hamsters life should be what's being considered the most.


The one I found is 90*50 cm.
