Need a big hamster cage

4 replies

We are getting a Syrian hamster and I have been doing my research. I want as big a cage as possible but no where seems to sell them as big as I want.

Is there anywhere people can recommend for a large cage (thinking up to a metre) which has narrow enough bars and solid platforms for climbing on but that isn't too high (I read Syrians have a tendency to climb and fall so don't want lots of height).

I have bought a cage which is 65 x 40 x 40cm. It's not as big as I wanted but it does have two good sized solid shelves that pretty much double the surface area. It just doesn't look big enough to me though.

That's great thank you. It looks good.

I did know about dust baths but not that I could use play sand. That's really helpful thank you.

The cage I have at the moment is smaller but has two floors, the upstairs is almost the same size as downstairs.

Not sure whether the hamster would rather have more room on one level or less but on two.

Also need to find where to buy a hamster. Been to pets at home just to look at them and the two we went to the assistants were scared of being bitten. Didn't appeal! I want more relaxed ones than that! I read that it's down to breeding mostly so I am on the lookout for a good breeder

Savic hamster heaven. I was lucky enough to get one off ebay and another from a friend and joined the two together!
They're the RSPCA recommended size and shelves are movable
