Answer 1

Any type of cage with plastic, bars, tubes to climb in, and stuff like that can be dangerous to rodents. chewing on the bars can cause bald spots on or around its mouth and head. and changing an animals enviroment to much can stress it out and cause it pull the hair on its head of. A basic aquarium with wooden toys is open and fun for hamsters.

Answer 4

you make it as big as you want but depending on were you put them remember if you get a metal cage its going to eat the bars and that is really really annoying so what i did is i bought a good size fish tank and cleaned it really well put wheels and toys and stuff in there for him and made a metal cover for on top it works great.. its like the ones they have at the pet store the big ones were they keep them in

Answer 5

the biggest cage you can afford (only a hamster cage)

make sure it has all of the extras you can get like wheel etc and if possible a deep pan tray so your hamster cab burrow about

Answer 6

The cage for your hamster should have much room. The minimum size is 50cm x 35cm. Never buy round or oval cages, because your hamster can get "crazy" in them (they lose orientation). The space between the bars should be maximum 0.5 cm for dwarf hamsters and 1 cm for syrian hamsters . When not, the hamster can leave the cage.

   In the shops we also see cages with pipes. They are very good, because in nature their ''home'' used to be in tunnels. Buy at least one SAM(TM) cage with bars, so that your hamster can breath normally and get more fresh air. The cage should have a house and a wheel. Of course there are many other articles you can buy for your little pet.
