Answer 1

The first two are very small and don't think your hamsters would be happy in them unless you pet two or more other cages connecting to them. The 3 one is nice looking and would be great for two female hamsters because it has tubes a wheel and a little hide out it also has enough room for them to have space from each other. The 4 one would be nice for 2 male hamster for all the same reasons as the 3 cage.

Answer 2

CritterTrail TreeHouse - a bit cramped for 2 hamsters.

Penn-Plax Pink Princess Castle - too much plastic. Poor air ventilation.

Rotastak Pink Palace - too much plastic. Poor air ventilation.

Ferplast - decent.

Personally, I would prefer the CritterTrail Two

or even better, the CritterTrail Three:

Just because the hamsters are small, doesn't mean their cage should be. They should have a good amount of room, so they don't feel cramped or territorial with each other.

Answer 3

omg i love the 2 one i wish i had that one

Answer 4

girbils love to chew, i have had ALLOT in my past, so you might want to go with the second and third one, witch are closed in. and make sure that they get allot of space as well.

and remember that anything their head can fit through their body can too. but those are nice cages!

Answer 5

Omg...I know you're getting 2 DWARFS but I've always been against those type cages. They're fairly small...and I do not suggest them. Especially for 2 hammys. Do not go with CritterTrail please, hammys need room to walk around. You're probably young, and I know those cages are pretty to us humans, but your hammy would prefer a simple cage with more room.

Also, those long plastic tubes that lead to the very top of the cage, can be dangerous.

Answer 6

Don't want to sound disappointing but none of the cages are big enough for 2 dwarf hamsters. All of them are ideal for one dwarf hamster but for two, it would be congested.

Also when you have two dwarfs, you should get a spacious cage with enough space to fit two food dishes, water bottles and exercise wheels since dwarf hamsters are know to squeak and fight when there are resources constraints especially when both want to do the same thing at the same time. They are just like kids fighting over one toy!

Considering that, I would suggest you go for the bigger cages like Habitrail Playground or Crittertrail 2 or 3. I personally have a Habitrail Playground and have had no complaints against it so far. As for Crittertrails, they are popular but some owners complain that they are tall and cause the dwarfs to fall down if your dwarf is a hyperactive one who loves to climb cage bars.

Answer 7

None of those cages are really GOOD cages...but the last one is decent. Hamsters need lots of room to run around and stuff. Bigger is better. Plus, those plastic cages with a bunch of tubes and stuff are harder to clean.
