is the bar spacing small enough for teddy bear hamster?

Spacing maybe a little much for a hampster. However I had small rats in it and they did not get out.

The spaces are a 1/2". I know a regular hamster would be fine, but I'm not sure how small a teddy bear hamster is. If they can squeeze through a half inch opening, then definitely don't get it :)

Of course baby rats are smaller than teddy bear hamsters and they can't squeeze through. The hamster will love the cage.

I think so our rat cant get thru the bars its very spacious too he loves it.......

Yes, the bars are spaced very close together. I do not think a hamster would be able to squeeze through.

I had a golden hamster a couple years ago and he would have easily fit through the bars. Not sure how much bigger syrian hamsters are?

I don't think so... I had a Syrian hamster before. He is an escaper and can squeeze through the smallest bars. I would suggest other Hagen hamster cage, like OVO.

I have a dwarf hamster and he is fine in it , the only thing he did was start chewing on a plastic piece at the top, I just put a small tube in the spot so he couldn't get up there anymore and he's fine. But there has never been a problem with the bars

It really depends on the size of the hamsters. We have a teddy bear and I can't imagine but any others in it.

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

I haven't put it together yet, but I took out some of the parts to measure the spacing for rats I'll be getting soon... The bars I checked are JUST under 1/2 inch spacing. I hope that helps :)

My daughter has a teddy bear hamster in this cage and it is good enough but for just a short amount of time because there isn"t much room for the hamster to run around.

abotu 1/2 inch i Keep a sugar glider in it she can't get through the bars, you will have no problem if you use it for a ferret...

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.

You could use this. The space between the grates is narrow enough that a hamster (I think) couldn't squeeze through. Honestly I think this may be taller than what you need for a hamster but if you have the space I guess it doesn't matter.

The spacing is 5/8 inch (I just measured it with a tape after seeing some of the other responses that are wrong) between the bars. My green cheek has never gotten out unless we leave one of the doors open. They are very smart though and he checks the doors to make sure they are shut. I have been very pleased with this cage. Good luck.

The spacing between the bars is very small, we have a small Silky, and he could never get out of this by going between the bars or the sections where it is held together. The Pawhut is in our Motorhome out of state right now, so I can't measure the spacing, but it has not been a problem with a small dog.

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.

No, it isn't. The cage doesn't have enough floor space to fit the size wheel that a teddy bear hamster needs (they need 11" wheels). The kind that comes with this cage is for dwarf hamsters or gerbils. Teddy bear hammies also will get stuck in the tubes. If you have a teddy bear you will want something like a wire cage without tubes (or those that can use the ferret type of tubing).

Our hamster is a teddy bear hamster... and its great for him. I wouldn't put TWO of them in there, however. It might be kinda cramped, unless you get into the add'ons. We just have the base unit, no fancy tubes or attachments.

I have a teddybear hamster and she fits fine, she has plenty of room. So, it should be okay for your hammy too!
