will this be too small for my short hair hamster (5-6")?

Our gerbils out grew it quickly, but there are two of them. It is not that big.

Unless the hedgehog is the size of an albino mouse, then no. The tubes are way too narrow for even a standard sized hamster. I would doubt that any cage specified for a hamster of any size would be too small. You may be better off getting a cage meant for a guinea pig or rabbit, since hedgehogs do tend to continue growing. There are links to make your own cages(which we did for our guinea pigs)on Google. www.guineapigcages.com/howto.htm is the site we used to make our cages. Total cost would run you about $40 and that is for the 4ftx2ft.

It's a little less than 1 inch (about 2 cm) between the bars. Not sure if suitable for regular size hamster.

I bought one for our teddy bear hamster, and I returned it. I didn't think there was nearly enough room with all the other stuff on the interior of this cage. Do not recommend it for larger hamsters.

I think the cage would be too small. There isn't much room for toys, burrowing, and exploring. You hamster might get bored and start chewing on the cage bars which is bad. Many hamster lovers would suggest getting a 20+ gallon long tank or a 100qt+ bin cage. They're much easier to clean and will stink much less than this small cage. But if you're set on getting this I would advise attaching it to the cage you said your hamster came with.

No it is too small I would say. I would say it is just the right size for a mouse or dewarf hamster, any bigger and they would be cramped. I have the dewarf hamster and can see how he might like some extra space( won't happen) but he would like it.

No. There's mesh on the bottom that a hamster would have trouble walking on. They're too small. This was made for larger animals.

I think this type of a snap wheel might be a little tight for your Syrian hamster. I have same kind of a Syrian hamster. All depends if it is a dwarf Syrian hamster, then this wheel will be perfect for him/her. Thank you for your question about this kind of a snap wheel.

It is very small for a rat. I bought this for my syrian hamster, and its almost to small for him. Rats need multi level cages. The bigger the better for them.

Its not big enough, this is for a hamster. Even if it was big enough, guinea pigs should not use exercise balls, it is very bad for their sensitive spines. No joke, google it.

It was far too small for my guinea pigs, but they are big guinea pigs. It is adjustable, but I think it might be too big for a hamster, I think it is made for smaller guinea pigs.

I use it for my great dane, who has very short hair. The prongs are less than an inch long, so you might consider looking at the prong extensions they sell separately. Great product for me!!

It is pretty big. My guinea pig fits in it with room to run around. If you make it a rectangle it is 3 feet long by 18 inches wide. You can make it into a hexagon too. I think your hamster will love it!

Not sure of the size of a syrian hamster. On internet, i see can be 15 cm (4.5 inch). Me for be sure with my hedgehog, I take a 12 inch and its very fantastic. Very silent. Dont understand the noices during the night and my hedgehog love it. If you think its a little bit to higher, just put a little slope in front.

I wouldn't recommend it unless the hamster was already grown and larger than 5 or 6 inches. It could squeeze between the bars. Its also way more space than a hamster typically requires. Experience: worked with hamsters and other small animals at Petco for 10 months.

I think it would be too big for a hamster unless it was a pretty big hamster. It is relatively small, but I don't believe it is that small! May a guinea pig size...

As long as your pet is less than 8.5 inches tall I don't believe you'll have any issues.
