Will the 1/2 inch spacing between bars be too much of a gap for a Syrian hamster?

Not at all. My hammy got out through the side hole though, so I just keep that taped.

The individual bar spacing is very narrow. You could fit your finger through the space, but that's about it. Our bunny did try to dig underneath, but the bars had no problem keeping him in otherwise.

yes - definitely. The bars are spaced about an inch apart. Perfect for a guineau pig, ferret, or chinchilla but not a hamster.

The space between bars is the same as a habitat spacing. They shouldn't be able to fit between. Although, we live in the country and I know rodents are crafty and determined, I wire tied the corners so there would be no room for failure. Hope that helps.

The bar spacing is very close. You shouldn't have a problem with baby rats.

Hi, the spacing is half inch between bars. I measured my cage my hamster is in and it also has half inch spacing. I've had my rats in it since they were very young and no where near full grown so I would say it should be fine. Have a great day.

Well, I'm really not sure. I bought it for a lizard and it was too tight for him. My guess is it just might be perfect for a syrian hamster, but not having one I can't say for certain. Sorry

I'm not quite sure if I understand your question, but the spaces between the horizontal bars on my cage are 3/4 of an inch and approximately 5 inches between vertical bars

A dwarf hamster shouldn't be able to fit through. They are the same space as you'd see on most hamster cages.. however they do have smaller fences as well

The wire spacing is enough for a hamster to escape. I've seen my piggies pushing their noses and paws through to get at treats or when I show up. Plus with the size of the cage it is massive compared to the hammie.

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.

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.

The spacing between the bars is pretty small so I do not believe that a gerbil would be able to squeeze out.

I would say the space between bars is an inch and half. I don't think a rat would fit.

Good morning, The space between the bars is 2 5/8". A small cat could get thru without any problems. I have in the past woven son cloth from side to side and that worked great.I hope this helps. Michael Hutchings

The spacing is just narrower than the diameter of a US Quarter coin. If you try you can push the quarter through as the bars will flex a bit. We have a hedgehog in this cage and he is safe and cannot squeeze through the openings.

This would not be a good cage for a hamster. My rabbit (who weighed about 6 pounds), was able to stick her entire nose through the bar. After enough chewing, she was able to make a sizable opening. (one a fancy bear would definitely be able to squeeze through).
