I have this cage for my bigger hamster but it is amazing!!hamsters are chewer's so it is basicly a fish tank witha 10 gallon high rise that no hammy could get through.the cage is big and roomey for all u hammy toys and needs.the only bad thing is it only opens at the top but that is no problem for dwarf hammy's=)

this is great for dwarf hamsters and there is no way it can hurt it self on bars or anything or get out.this might be a lil hard to put together at first but trust me once you do it is worth it!and it's so cute to watch you hammy go up the tubes and in the wheel.

these cages are amazing and look amazing and are perfect for dwarfs because they really dotn chew on the cage and the love running in tubes and there cages are really fun for them but so damn hard to put together and break easy.

At petco they have a perfect cage for your rodent. Its a foot tall and 18 inches wide. It has a wheel for them to exercise. Also a tube to go to a look out. The only problem is the water thingy, get 1 for the side (it works better that way). This wondelful cage costs $25.99 . Its the same cage i use.
Good Luck with ur pet

I would never keep my dwarf hamster in a wire or plastic cage, but rather a 10-gallon tank. Hamsters tend to have a way of getting themselves hurt between the bars of cages (broken limbs that heal wrong, etc.)

I personally would recommend a 10gal glass aquarium. They will chew on anything that is plastic or has wires. I say this from lots of personal experience with having up to 35 dwarf hamsters at one time.

Yes, I can! So, you are getting a dwarf? I have two female dwarf hamsters and would love to answer your questions! I went to www.petco.com, and I found some links that the price, where it's at, and the cage picture and also information on the cage! Here are the links:

I hope that this helps! Thanks and good luck!

i just use an aquarium with a lid on top, it was about $20 at the pet store near my home. you can also use wire cages like the "critertrail" brand, or even a brid cage can work if it comes with a ramp or two

use a ten gallon tank and you can buy a lid where there are holes on the lid so they can breathe, and then i put heavy rocks on the top so that nothing can pull the lid up... and plus any other cage the hamsters can escape easily...

i like the "crittertrail 2 cage" of my hamster its big and has a safe exercise wheel....
i bought it at petsmart for 30 bucks but because it was on special but usually cost 47 bucks...i recommend cages that has 2 floors or more because hamsters exercise ALOT !!!!

Any kind of cage it doesn't have to be big at all.Get it something with tubes around it so that it can play.
