Do hamsters need big cages?

Hamsters do not need big cages, but sometimes bigger is better! Her cage should be at least 15 inches long and 12 inches tall. Compared to other petite pets, hamsters don't need big cages, but the larger options provide more space for fun. They are great climbers with help from tunnels, so if you choose a taller cage, be sure to utilize the space with fun hamster habitat extensions.

What size cage does a hamster need?

Your hamster needs a cage size that is at least 15 inches long and 12 inches tall. You have many options for hamster cages, and there are plenty of ways to make the space work for her. For energetic hamsters, be sure to choose a larger cage with lots of floor space.

What is the best cage for a hamster?

The best hamster cage is escape-proof and has plenty of ventilation. Hamsters like to burrow, so choose a hamster habitat that has a plastic bin bottom you can fill with hamster bedding. Remember that your hamster isn't as large as other rodents, so the cage shouldn't have big openings, or you might discover that you have an escape artist! For your adult hamster, bar spacing should be less than half an inch, even smaller if you have an itty bitty baby!
