will this work for small or dworf hamsters? or will it be too big?

It is pretty big. My guinea pigs fit into it and they are pretty chubby. A better choice would be the mini cuddle cup. I didn't notice the mini part in the description and ordered them and they were very tiny. Petco or Petsmart carries them and they are prettier than the Kaytee cup too.

It really is rather large - I doubt that it would even fit in their cage. My Guinea Pigs are all full grown and when one of them curls up, it takes up the entire bed. They all weigh around 2# and a Dwarf Hamster fits in the palm of your hand. It wouldn't give them the comfort they're looking for.

It would probably be too big - I have a full grown male gp and it is a little bit big for him although he doesnt seem to mind.

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.

Yes! I now have a robo hamster in this cage and the cage and wheel is perfect, I was worried it might be too big but it is not at all.

My two mice fit well so I think will be fine for your hamster. Mine love it!

I don't have a hedgie so here's what I can say. The space they'd be running on is roughly 2" x 3.5" with a little wiggle room. I also have the 12" and it's not only larger but has a more forgiving angle to the dish, so it would be the safer bet. Definately don't try the small. It's too small even for my mice, and seems more for those very tiny breeds of hamster.

I measured it myself and it is 7.25 inches. Chinese hamsters will probably be ok with this toy.

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.

No, the spacing is too large for hamsters. Excellent cage for chinchillas, guinea pigs, and adult rats. We use it for a Holland Lop rabbit.

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.

It is pretty big. I have a hamster, too, and he loves it. He is a syrian hamster and not a dwarf. For dwarves I suppose it may be a little bit big. The bars are small so they cannot squeeze through it. Again I am speaking for syrians, though. Also, my hamster has attempted to climb it, so you should watch it 100% of the time (especially if you are going outside). Hope this helps. Have fun!

It isn't even large enough for a Syrian hamster either (the larger hamsters). They will get too large to fit through the tubes and there also isn't enough room to put an 11" wheel, which is what a Syrian hamster needs. It is really designed for dwarf hamsters and gerbils.

It could fit either hamster. I have one syrian/teddy bear hamster, and she fits perfectly in her home.

Probably so if it is pretty fat but if a hamster can collapse its body like a mouse, maybe not. It is a very large cage. It does well for our rabbit.

It works great for what my daughter uses it for. It's almost been a year and she loves how her dwarf hamster runs everywhere in it, don't know how it would work for anything bigger but I found it worth it for what it's used for

Hi, I have both the large and the small. I think the small might work for your hamster when it's small but when it grows up it'll definitely be kind of small. That said the large one needs a fat hamster to ge the ting to spin. A tiny hamster doesn't have that much weight.

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.

This model would only fit a very small rabbit. It would work well for a hedgehog, guinea pig, hamster, rat, mouse, gerbil, flying squirrel and even some herps, such as a bearded dragon, chameleon, etc. It will be a bit tight for most rabbits, large chinchillas, etc.
