I think you mean a syrian hamster, unless you're manueal from Fawlty Towers (Anyone get the reference?)

Have a look on preloved or gumtree, or post an ad on freecycle. There's sure to be some stuf on there for under £20. Ebay is also an awesome place to look, I know people on here who've gotten hamster heavens (an awesome cage for syrians) for £0.99 which is an awesome bargain

Hope this helps!

If you mean this one it isn't big enough. IMO that's way too small for any hamster. Go with something much bigger or you're gonna have a very bored hammy. You'll want soemthing like a Savic Cambridge or a Hamster Heaven.

Yes I was just looking at it too and it's definitely not fit for a dwarf hamster never mind a Syrian.
Please don't get this cage - it's not even 11 inches wide. You can't keep a full grown hamster in that, it's cruel.

My sister bought one of those cages and immediately took it back. She said it was horrible. Def not big enough.

Are you sure she didn't mean a siberian... meaning a russian dwarf and not a syrian?

Ahhh didn;t realise there was another name for a russian dwarf Would the bars on that cage be suitable for a dwarf? I still think it's a little small...

Lill roo congratulations on getting Betty, I neeeed piccys when you get some as I am a hamster addict. If I was looking for a cage and had £20 to spend I would definately look on Ebay, there are tons available and if you find one and aren't sure if its suitable you can post a link and we can give you our opinion. The pink cage is really really unsuitable but obviously the picture of the Syrian hamster in it is very misleading. If you look out for the Savic Cambridge they can be picked up very cheaply off Ebay (I got one for 99p) and there is plenty of room for a nice big wheel and lots of toys. Let us know how you get on won't you.
