  1. they are very suitable good choice and maybe you can even connect those two togethher somehow


  2. The problem with housing dwarf hamsters is that they are so small that they can squeeze through the bars on an ordinary hamster cage.  For this reason they need to live in tank cages or barred cages with narrow bars designed for dwarf hamsters or mice.  

    The first cage looks good as the only bars are at the top so it looks escape-proof.  

    I would be a bit concerned about the bars in the middle of the triangular section on the second cage.  Maybe e-mail the seller and ask if they think it is suitable.  If you so get this one go for russian or winter white dwarfs rather than roborovskis or chinese as russians are bigger so less chance of escape!  

    The problem with rotastak is all the plastic doesn't leave much ventilation so make sure it is always out of direct sunlight so it keeps cool.  

    Also dwarf hamsters are too small to climb the vertical tubes.  Rotastak sell little ladders you can hook over the top of the tubes so that dwarf hamsters and mice can climb them.  

    Both cages are a good size for two dwarfs and are an interesting shape so they will love living there!

  3. Yeah those cages would work. They both are very nice, but i  thin you should get the second one cuz it has a wheel. the hamsters could get more exercise.

  4. Yes those are excellent cages. They are certainly not the tiny jailhouses most people use for dwarf hammies. They will provide plenty of exercise. The only downside is the difficulty in cleaning.

  5. Yes those are great cages! I wish I had those buy them as soon as possible. The hammies will be very happy.

  6. yes those cages are cool you hammster will love it......i know mine would

  7. Those cages are great. Tons of space for your dwarf hamsters. Good Choice!
