Yes, but it depends on the hamster. A bigger hamster may require the next size up. If you get this twice, sorry. Hope this helps.

Gosh I don't know. I have mice. Syrians are quite a bit larger than mice, and I think the 11" Wodent Wheel (available online) would be more comfortable for a hamster.

it's pretty small, my dwarf hamsters have no problems and sometimes their little tails poke through when they sit and its super cute. gerbils should be fine.

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.

There is Velcro to adjust to the size of the bunny. I just got a dwarf and it couldn't fit him. But she's growing and would try again. Note I have two rabbits.

It depends on how big of a hamster you have I have a dwarf hamster and she fits nicely in it because there territoral I would recommend a bigger cage

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

There are a few problem I see, they like to use the corner and there isn't really anything there to not let that go everywhere and they cant burrow into the bedding.The grate does NOT come out. I wouldn't suggest to use this cage for a hamster, there is probably a way to fix those two problems. They may also lift the door up, so put a safety pin to hold them down.

I wouldn't get this for a hamster. The bars are really far apart and flexible so they would slip right out. Its also really huge and hamsters like the small tight spaces of a reg hamster cage.

My son used this cage for his "Winter White Dwarf Hamster." She had tons of room and burrowed down deep all the time. This cage is huge and his hamster loved it!! Hope I helped you!

I have a teddy bear hamster and it is just fine. I think it would also work for dwarf hamsters because the bar spacing is the same as the cheap little colorful critter trail cages.

No, it's way too small! :) after having it for several months, I wouldn't recommend it for hamsters either. The insert at the top is nice in theory but it takes up a lot of room and there is not a lot of space for the little guy. Also, the front opening is too small.

I wouldnt recommend it for a teddy bear hamster that usually is the size of your whole hand. He wouldn't be able to enjoy it for play, eat, sleep and pee/poop in just this one.

1" and Hamsters can squish pretty flat, just don't know if they can do that sideways!!

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.

The large fits a dwarf hamster better than the small. However, moving a small pet can scare it or putting it in a drafty place (like the park) or anywhere cold can get it very sick. For quick trips to the vet or a friend's house or a couple hours (provided you give your dwarf hamster lots of tissues and bedding and toys and food) would be fine. This is a carrier though, not something your pet could stay in overnight.

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?
