Syrian Hamster Cage List

This is purely a basic list containing as many suitable cages for Syrian Hamsters that I can find - at least that are on the market today.

Of course, I've not used all of them (I'm a Savic fan myself) so I cannot guarantee that they are all high quality etc, only that they are suitable, in the sense of size/footprint, for Syrian Hamsters.

This is the Savic Hamster Heaven, a personal favorite of mine -

I'll include a link for each cage to somewhere that sells it (be sure to shop around though, you may find it cheaper elsewhere) as well as the dimensions of the cage and will be asking people who have these cages to do reviews for Hamsters Galore in the near future. If I have missed a cage off this list, don't hesitate to post a comment with the name of the cage.

Homemade Cages

Bin cages are cheaper alternatives that are made from plastic storage boxes with holes drilled in them and meshed ventilation panels added. I'll be doing a post on bin cages soon.

The more expensive homemade cages are usually IKEA hacks, such as this IKEA Expidit Hamster Home.
