I saw those. Rodipet used to have something similar at one time (a bit smaller). The only thing that would concern me is if they could fall on it from above as those crenellations are pointy and uneven and could lead to a hard fall and an injury. I can see it would be good for out of a cage - but if in a cage it would need to be fairly high up (eg supported underneath) so there wasn't far to fall from the roof to the top of the castle.

Even then I'd probably stick little bits of hemp mat on the lower crenellations! Out of cage that wouldn't be an issue though.

It does seem quite large though - for a dwarf hamster. Not that it matters if it's large but it's certainly plenty large enough for a Syrian. It would half fill a 100 x 50cm cage! Doorways are wide too.
