Answer 1

The second one would be best.

Answer 2

Crittertrail Z- not very much space for the lil  guy, will be hard to clean bare minimum for ONE hamster.... NOT MULTIPLES!!!

Rotastak Fairground Fun Hamster Gerbil Mouse Cage Home- no, too small, no ventilation.   same goes for all the Rotastak cages....

the BEST option for you outta that list would be crittertrail Z, but agaia, its not the best cage.. some better cages are:

although all those closed-in plastic novelty cages may seem cool, they really arentt functional for hammys. i looked for a mix of functionality and looks in cages for you =]

Answer 3

I have a critter trail cage for my dwarf hammy, not the same as yours, but same company. I really like it, and my dwaf hamster has never escaped. The cool thing about these cages is you can buy tons of expansion packs.You can change the desing whenever you want, the only problem is that you have to be fairly gental with the plastic, or it may break.=(Here are some of my cage desigs!

Answer 4

the second one cause i have the first one and my hamster could get out so get the second one

Answer 5

First off, unless you live in the UK, you won't be able to get a rotastak cage.

Secondly, Crittertrails are WAY too small and not suitable for even one dwarf hamster unless connected to something else. Since you are getting two dwarfs, they have a great chance of becoming territorial with each other and fighting for space in this small cage.

You need to get a much larger cage for them to share. I suggest a 20 gallon long tank or a nice big storage bin, crafted like a bin cage. If you don't know what these are, google search "bin cage" and you'll see what I mean.

Also, make sure you buy 2 of everything to put in. 2 wheels, hideouts, etc. Just DO NOT buy Crittertrail cages, PLEASE!

Answer 6

DONT get the 3rd or 4th ones i got the 3rd one and it took about an hour to put it together, in the end i took it apart as when it comes to cleaning it out it would be trouble !!!!! x

Answer 7

I suggest that you get the second one. The one from PetSmart. That is the cage I have for my 2 robo hammies. They never escape and they really enjoy going up to the wheel and run in it together! It's really easy to clean. It's kinda hard to put together at first but after that it's pretty easy. I think that it is large enough for your 2 new hammies.

Answer 8

the second one.

Answer 9

They are both too small and I wouldnt recommend a plastic cage or any type of cage for a dwarf hamster. ALL my dwarf hamsters (about 32 of them) have escaped because they are so small. I have had more success with aqariums and they are bigger and cheaper.
