Is it for a Syrian? Don't believe everything you read on Facebook. I'd say the Hamster Heaven is absolute minimum for a Syrian - and they may (or may not) need upgrading at some point). It's fine for a dwarf hamster.

Where did you find the Barney cage? They're incredibly hard to get hold of now - only second hand usually. There was the old version which was slightly bigger than the hamster heaven (82cm long and a bit taller) and the newer version which is the 100cm by 54cm which does have great floorspace.

However it only has the small doors on front - it's a good cage for a confident hamster who wants to come out regularly but I had problems with it for a shy or nervous hamster (can't get them out!) And they don't like a hand coming through the top door.

If it's for a shy or nervous hamster they'd be better off in the hamster heaven with the big front door. Or the Savic Plaza with plenty of overhead cover.
