It would be way too tiny. I have several but I use them to keep change in.

As said above, too small, but definitely could be ideal for treats!

If it helps, one of my hamsters has an old coffee jar as a sand bath. I don't actually like coffee, but I get my mother to save up the jars for me as she puts the coffee in separate tins anyway. I find the one I am using to be a perfect size, currently using it for a Dwarf, but could fit in a Syrian

I have them for treats and they would definetly be far too small for a syrain but I think would be find for a Chinese or a small robo.
