cage size for hamster

Compared to the guinea pig cages all the commercial hamster cages are tiny, how big should a hamster cage be?

Re: cage size for hamster

If you are uncertain of the size, you could look for mesh cube grids so that the holes are WAY to small for the hampseter to escape.

Re: cage size for hamster

Hamsters don't need hay but they enjoy it, so I would feed them some.

Re: cage size for hamster

I don't know if you were looking for information on dwarf or full size hamsters. But I have several dwarf hammies. We rescued a family of them back in 2003 and I have found by far the best habitat for them to be the hamster cages made by lixit. As seen here.(which measures 13"x20")

I have used several cages and would not recommend the habitrail type cages one of my dwarf hamsters got his teeth wedged on the bars and was found making an awful noise dangling from the top of the cage. Luckily we found him soon after he got stuck we had to cut the bar in order to free him. He was fine but it could have been nasty.

Re: cage size for hamster

I would go with a 2x2. I dont have hamsters, but the bigger the better.

Re: cage size for hamster

I would definetilly go with a 2x2, maybe with two levels. You could make it one grid high and split it horizontally to make two levels.

Re: cage size for hamster

Make sure to put a top on it because they can climb out, and they would love a 3 story c&c cage!
