Rodent help?

Question

I currently have 1 hamster. She is about 3 months old. I previuosly owned another hamster but he died a few days ago. My syrian hamster has a crittertrail cage. ITss kinda small. But it has a wheel and a little house in it. Is that a big anough cage?? (my old hamster was in a glass cage but it shattered) My current hamster looks comfortable in her cage. Im not planning on buying one soon. But i was wondering does it sound big enough and in the future what cage should i get for her?

Answer 1

no.if shes okay then leave her.or him.mine looks cramped but loves it.so let her get used ot it.also if really so think that its too small then u shud get another one.they cud brake deyr backs.plz pick as best answer.

Answer 2

I am not sure what Crittertrail cage you have currently. If you are having a syrian hamster, Crittertrail X or 1 is not adequate. It is very congested and does not provide the space that syrian hamsters require. A crittertrail 2 or 3 would be much more better for one syrian hamster.

However since you already have a Crittertrail and these cages have an option of attachment k**b on the side, why not add on another roomy area to this cage through the attachment k**b, you can add a bin cage to the current Crittertrail so that your hamster has the option of moving around. Bin cages are inexpensive and you can make one at home yourself.

Answer 5

CritterTrails are not god cages for Syrians, and they really aren't enough space for dawrfs either.

My suggestion is getting a cheap plastic bin (walmart, target, dollar store) and making a cage out of that.

If you need help with constructing a bin cage, email me and I can send you instuctions on how to make one. =]
