Hamsters are *not* just some worthless pets that can be kept in tiny inadequate cages, with improper toys and be forgotten about. They are fascinating little creatures that require large habitats to thrive (80x50cm/31.5×20 inches being the absolute minimum size needed), they need large wheels to be able to run with their backs completely straight (about 11 inches for a Syrian hamster and 8 inches for a dwarf), having at least 6 inches of bedding is also strongly recommended as they make tunnel systems and burrow. They can travel several miles a night in the wild, they deserve to be able to run in their wheels comfortably and they deserve large cages so they can explore and enjoy themselves – too small cages actually cause issues that a lot of people think are just “normal hamster behavior”, like climbing and chewing on the bars, biting, being cage aggressive, etc. They are trying to tell you they’re stressed but since people don’t know better it’s said to be just normal, but it isn’t!
so basically
this is *not*!!! okay or suitable for hamsters
neither is this (they are ground animals so adding height is not at all beneficial when it’s so small)
this is a more suitable and actually a very affordable option!
the ikea detolf is pretty affordable, a great size, and very ideal
