I have a dwarf Hamster and He has a suitable home now but I was wondering if a particular brand of cage would be good. I took a picture of it so you can see the brand name and what It looks like. Is it big enough and suitable enough for a dwarf hamster or any hamster for that matter.
Thanks!

To be honest I don't like Habitrail. The cages are small and expensive and you need a lot of them to provide a good space. The tubes can bee too small for Syrians and if they are vertical it can be hard for dwarfs to climb.

If you're in the US, your best bet is to go for a bin cage or good sized glass tank. It can be hard to find a good brand compared to the UK.

I have a 20g glass tank that I have him in now. So Ill just keep him in that then. It just looked easier to handle.

20 gallons is fine, assuming you mean 20 long. A huge improvement to the habitrail!
