Re: Tanks for hamsters????
I have a 4ft tank with a meshed top for one of my syrians
![]() They aren't very good for rats or mice due to the poor ventilation but for hammies they are great ![]()

Re: Tanks for hamsters????
Not if they have a mesh lid, they aren't in direct sunlight and the ambient temperature in the room isn't too hot

Re: Tanks for hamsters????
All the hammies at college are kept in Perfecto tanks. The syrians have 3' long tanks, but I think they'd be better off with longer tanks as they don't really use the upper levels.

Re: Tanks for hamsters????
I used to have a rotastack (going back a few years now) and it sat on the top of the tank with a tube going into a glass tank where hammy had lots of room and sawdust to run around in. Perfectly fine. Be sensible and dont put it in direct sunlight just like you wouldnt put a plastic house in the direct sun. Make sure there are no other pets that can get at it and offer shelter/place to hide. Also going back 30 years ago I remember looking after the school gerbils and they were in a glass tank - well before fancy cages and runs were even an option! Also they are in glass tanks in pet shops..
