Re: Dwarf hamster cage
Hello and welcome to Hamster Central.
It's not the largest of cages available on the market and it's suitability will depend on your hamster. I've got one and would only really use it as a starter cage for a younger hamster or one that has already had issues with too much space. I'd personally be looking for something with a bit more space for the average hamster though - even a dwarf as they can be just as active as Syrians - if not more so!
What kind of dwarf is she? Something like a Duna Multy would be a good option for most types of dwarf hamster as there's no bars to escape through or if you've got a Russian Hamster then something like the Hamster Heaven could be an option.
Alternatively there is the option of bin cages which can be made fairly cheaply if you're willing to put a little bit of work in.

Re: Dwarf hamster cage
When you say dwarf ham I guess you mean Russian hybrid as most do when they don't specify species & I would agree that cage isn't suitable for a Russian or any dwarf species really.
The hamster heaven is a good size for a Russian, they are very active little hams & once you have a house, good size (20cm) wheel, sand bath & some toys even that doesn't have much space left!
If you do get a hamster heaven I would recommend not using the penthouse & tubes, they might look like fun but can cause a lot of problems & it's actually a much better cage without them.
The Alaska is a cheaper option but is quite a tall cage so can be hard to set up for a dwarf as they can easily fall from the bars.
If you prefer a tank style cage then the Duna multy would be another good option.

Re: Dwarf hamster cage
My favourite cages for Russians are the Ferplast Duna cages. The best sizes are the Duna Multi or the Duna Fun Large (multi with tubes and platforms). My pair are in a Duna Fun Large (I'm lucky they don't fight over platforms and tubes but be careful because some pairs will) and they love the space! My youngest hybrid is in a Duna Fun with a Mini Duna attached, he's scared of large open spaces so this is more suitable than a larger cage for now.
