I used to have one for one of my dwarf hams a while ago & he did really enjoy having a dig around in there, the plastic on one side inexplicably cracked & a piece came out with quite sharp edges after I'd had it a while so it got binned in the end but it did last some time.
I would replace the flimsy runged ladder with a bendy bridge or some other better way to access it though.

I've seen these in the shop and they're not very big, fine for a dwarf but neither of my Syrians would get their bums in it! I'd also replace the ladder like cypher suggested.

My syrian has a cardboard box with lots of fitch in it as his dig box. Free (apart from the fitch) leaving 9.99 to spend on Christmas toys and chews for him!

You're probably right about it being on the small side for syrians Bertie, I always forget how big they are lol!
This is one of my russian hybrids in there, might give you a better idea of size.

You could always makeshift something like this with a tuppaware box and a ladder attached to the side...? Would just need to keep an eye incase of chewing but I'm sure that would be just as good and might work out cheaper.

It might even work with tins or high-sided cooking dishes... Then you can get a size that will fit in the cage better

Have you got a sand bath in the cage?

I've got one of these for my Syrian and it is too small for him really. Still he enjoys sitting on the top and having a dig through for oats when I put them in there. But I wouldn't buy one for a Syrian again, it would be much better for a dwarf
