Product Information

The cage that you buy your Syrian hamster will be their main environment, so should provide enough space and enrichment to keep them happy and healthy. It is very important that the cage you buy isn’t too small as this will lead to stress and pain for your hammie. It is possible to buy a number of different types of cages, with some comprising a more standard looking one-piece cage, others are a network of smaller cages that link up into a larger overall environment, and there are also enclosures which have a cage on top of a glass tank. All provide different benefits, but overall the golden rule is that you should look to get a cage that is as big as possible for the space you have. What are the best Syrian hamster cages?
