Hi all,

I'm rescuing a Syrian hamster from a home where she is not wanted and want to get her a very large happy home.

Please can you recommend a very large cage?

Thanks!

Everyone always recommends one of these.

Thank you!

Anymore cages? I was thinking bigger than that tbh

That's probably the biggest you are gonna get for a hamster cage wise... They won;t need anything bigger than that, there's only so many toys they can play with

Peace

There's quite a few cages larger than the hamster heaven. Here:

This has SO much room, but you will need to mash the top over as a hamster will squeeze through those bars


The FOP Ted is a good size but hard to find.

I have a fop Ted and two hamster heavens (amoungst many other cages). I would say that the best cage is the hamster heaven, it is large enough for plenty of toys and a large enough (8 inch) wheel and the door is huge so you can get in to move things around and check on hammie easily. The fop Ted is a lovely cage, as happy saz says but it is hard to find and the smaller doors let it down imo. The fop cage is on the left in this picture, and the hamster heaven is on the right.

Thanks, I think I will go for the Hamster Heaven.

What do you think of this one? Hamster/Gerbil 3 Tier Cage with accessories on eBay (end time 19-Dec-09 05:43:22 GMT)

I don't like the three tier cages to be honest - used to have one in the old days when there wasn't a great range of hamster cages. Hamsters have fallen from the top and injured themselves so I would never have one again.

I would thoroughly recommend the hamster heaven or the Cambridge for a Syrian.

The trouble with the multi level cages is that when your hamster is getting on in years they often cant manage the ladders or tubes. I had to replace my old girl (Buffys) cage for that reason and she loved the hamster heaven that I got for her and I think it actually lengthened her life and I lost her at 4 1/2, I dont think I would buy another multi level cage now.
