Answer 3

yes ........but please s*x them first or in  a few short weeks it may not be they have big littlers and have them often. if the space is too small or overcrowded the begin to eat one another.

Answer 4

Oh god yes.... a 20 gallon would do the trick.

Looks like you are going above and beyond, and KUDOS for that.

It is always refreshing to see pet owners go the extra mile for thier pets.

Good Job, and GOOD LUCK.... they make great pets!!!!

Answer 5

a 55 gallon tack is like a castle for 3 or 4 dwarf  hamster but one thing is cleaning it. it will be hard to clean i have a wire cage made by super pet it is easy to clean but my hamster chews on the wires of the cage so i might get 20 gallon tank for mine

i would go with a bin cage they are liter and easy to clean. but if u still wan't a tank keep it on the floor that u will clean it on.

Answer 6

It's big enough. It's good that you're giving them something nice to live in instead of those tiny rodent cages. Just make sure you have a lid so they don't escape, and that the lid is ventilated.

Answer 7

Yes the cage is plenty big. But make sure that you treat them because they can be unhealthy coming from a pet store.

Hope that helps

Answer 8

That should be enough space for them and enough to comfortably fit a wheel for each of them.  Just make sure they really are all the same gender, and keep an eye out for fighting.  Even though they're from the same litter, they can still end up having to be separated.

Answer 9

If they are all the same s*x and littermates, it might work.  Hamsters are solitary in nature, though.  Eventually, they really should be housed alone.

Answer 10

plenty big, but be careful those things are mean.
