Answer 1

definetly a fish tank. that cage is WAY too small

Answer 2

i would say the fish tank cause a hamster cage well they might escape so get a fish tank and put some paper tubes in there.

Answer 3

These plastic cages tend to stink up faster and are harder to clean.  Plus you really can't pet him unless you opne it all up.  I like my fish tank cage better- it gets more air and I can easily shovel the litter around to freshen it up, and it's easier to feed him veggies and snacks and stick my hand anywhere to pick up the uneaten fruit/veggies before they rot.  They have a cover attachment for fish tanks that you can attach a tunnel to and another plastic cage on top if you like. Also fish tanks give them more room.  Ilike to put a good amount of litter and you can see they love to burrow in it and it's so cute!! Plus it's wayy bigger also, they need space.

Answer 4

Its probubly better to use the fish tank because your hamster could start chewing on the bars and its not good for them or there teeth!!!!

hope this helps!!

Answer 5

i suggest a barred cage. it allows for more air flow. hamsters like to be in a fresher environment. both kinds restrict the Flow and that is not always good. i suggest something like this. this is what i would suggest. it is a little small but it should suit the little guy.

Answer 6

a fish tank would be better in this case, but i would really recommend a wire cage. i think you need to do some research because youre asking a lot of questions that could be easily solved with 15 minutes on the internet

Answer 7

A 10 gallon aquarium or larger would be suitable.  Are you purchasing a syrian hamster or a dwarf hamster?

You should never purchase a plastic cage for any rodent as they can chew their way out of it.  It also doesn't supply good enough ventilation.

Answer 8

the tank that cage looks small
