What's the bar spacing? Could a hamster escape?

A hamster could definitely escape. A rat could escape. A guinea pig wouldnt be able to. Ferrets cant fit through. This playpen is wonderful but for larger rodents and pets. I think there are playpens made specifically for small rodents such as hamsters and mice etc.

Yes, it's small enough that a ferret won't squeeze through, but a hamster very likely could. There is almost a full inch of space between the vertical bars.

The spacing is an inch. I do not think a hamster could escape but I'm not sure as I do not have one, if you use the mat if it gives it about 6 inches of solid protection around the cage. They do make cages that are made for hamsters.

A hamster could escape with ease. This is not for mice, hamsters etc. Chinchillas, rabbits, small dogs and kittens would be fine in this enclosure. But anything that can flatten out and get its skull through a 1 inch opening is definitely going to escape.

Yes . And This it much to big for a hamster u would be spending a lot of money on somthing you dont need! Just look up hamster play pen. I'm sure you'll find somthing smaller

Answer below is accurate; cage would work well for a guinea pig or small rabbit, but definitely not for a hamster or other small rodent. They could squeeze out or get stuck between the bars.

it's about 6 to 8 inches wide. Bare in mind there is a bar in the middle. It's well suited for a small to medium teddy bear hamster.

It has a spring door, yes. I'm pretty certain it is escape proof for a dwarf hamster, I had one live in it without any trouble. It was relatively easy to clean, the side tube (yellow in the picture) was a little difficult to remove, but other than that cleaning was easy. My hamster did chew on the metal bars though, which was very loud and probably not good for him. I was happy with this cage though.

The bar spacing is too wide for a hamster. It will be able to squeeze through. It works for larger critters, like a guinea pig.

The spacing between the vertical bars is 1.25". I don't think any cat or dog will pass that!

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.

ok so i really dont like this cage as a stand alone cage cuz first its ventilation is poor slso hamsters need a minimum of 360 square inches of floorspace which to find is length x width and i would recoemnd 2 lofts connected with eaacdh other or try a bin but but the bin somewhere high up so ur cat cant get it

Hi - The spacing of the horizontal bars is about 1 inch. We're using ours for a hedgehog. Unfortunately I have no reference for a Syrian Hamster

Yes, A good rule of thumb for rodents is that they can escape through anything they can fit their head through. These bars are wide enough to more than just their little head to fit though if they really tried

My Robo hamster was fine in the pen. He doesn't fit thru the bars and cannot climb them so you are safe.

If you had a very hefty Syrian hamster, it might be a very roomy habitat. I think the gaps would be too big (approximately 1" apart), so I would not recommend it.

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.

It's about an inch between the bars. DO NOT buy this for any size hamsters. Hamsters can squeeze into spaces the size of their skull, which is why this is meant for guineas and rabbits. My hamster escaped this and he's a huge Syrian fancy bear hamster. Petco and petsmart sell rat cages that are almost the size of this with smaller bar spacing. I bought that for my hammy and it works perfectly. Good luck!

NO!!!! Do NOT use this for a hamster!!! I used this as a playpen for my adult hamster, and within 60 seconds, she had her head and neck caught between the bars and nearly killed herself. Fortunately the bars were flimsy enough that I was able to separate them easy and release my poor girl. I promptly put this in storage until I can use it for a larger animal.

I would assume less than half an inch (very small space between bars). At most, possibly 1/2 an inch.

The spacing between the bars is very small! I have this cage for a sugar glider and it's perfect!
