I wouldn't use it for a shy dwarf hamster. The Hamster Heaven would be much better. It's a good size for a dwarf hamster. Not too big, not too small. If the hamster is shy as well, the large front door on the Hamster Heaven will make interaction easier - front access.

The Hamster Heaven is a safe height for a dwarf hamster as well. With the Barney you'd either need a full level putting in or put perspex up the inside bars for about 8" all round to have deep bedding (ie to reduce the height that way).

I wouldn't put a shy dwarf hamster in the Barney cage. Annoying they don;t make a 100cm hamster heaven isn't it? I know what you mean about the Plaza - it's not quite as sturdy - I find it fine. I think the problem you had was one collapsing when two were stacked wasn't it? They're fine if on a solid surface though.

I'd use the Hamster Heaven for your dwarf.
