Syrian Hamster Cages – Our 5 best

Things to consider for our best Syrian hamster cages.

If you are looking to get a pet hamster, you can’t just place them in a box and expect them to live there happily for ever and ever. Hamsters are very active creatures who need room to run and exercise, not to mention they will chew right through some materials. You need to use our Syrian hamster cages review.

It is absolutely necessary to provide a good-sized cage with a flat surface for the bottom, so your pet doesn’t catch their toes and legs through mesh wiring.

Additionally, your hamster is going to need a water bottle, a food dish, a spot for them to use as a toilet, chew toys, and an exercise wheel. Getting all these things into a tiny space will not be very convenient or comfortable for you, or your pet.

Make sure the cage you get has plenty of space for your hamster to sleep, get exercise, and do their personal business.

Another thing to take into consideration is that you’ll eventually need to take apart and clean your hamsters cage. This should be done at least once or twice per week. If you don’t, things might start to smell pretty bad, and your hamster won’t be very happy or healthy.

Here goes with our first list of the best Syrian hamster cages:

 

1. Pawhut Hamster and Rodent Mouse Large Kit

The cages main features are:

• It has a built in drawer for easy cleaning (the base slides out completely).
• Suitable for Syrian hamsters, dwarf hamsters, mice and other small animals (even guinea pigs for a temporary home).
• Four organic windows enable a direct view to all levels.
• Built-in drawer for easy cleaning.
• Overall Dimension: 115L x 60W x 58H (cm).
• Solid wooden construction.
• Levels are accessible by 3 ramps.
• Hinged roof with mesh for good air circulation.
• Cage can easily be moved.

In conclusion

The pawhut hamster and rodent large kit is an excellent choice for any breed of hamster. Unfortunately you do have to build it yourself, however we found this to be reasonably easy.

It does not come with a built in wheel and so you will have to buy one separately. Wooden wheels are readily available and we would definitely recommend this addition.

Some people will be worried that their beloved pets will chew through the wood, however in our experience provided your hamster has plenty of toys, this should not be a problem.

Overall we rate this cage as a 5 out of 5. The first time we have awarded a full rating.

The ideal wheel to complement the Pawhut hamster cage is the Trixie 22cm wooden wheel and that can be found here.

2. Little Friends Jemima Narrow Rat/Hamster Cage

The cage main features are:

• The cage design measures 100 x 54 x 64cm.

• It has narrow 1cm bar spacing, so great for Syrian hamsters, rats etc, but not suitable for dwarf hamsters or mice.

• Large access doors for easy cleaning.

• There are two large hinged doors on the front, each measuring 18cm x 23cm. These fold down and are secured when up by a loop of wire which folds down to secure them in place.

• The cage comes with all items shown (tubes, shelves, litter tray etc).

 

In Conclusion

 

The little friends Jemima one of the very best Syrian hamster cages. It is a good size cage and we found access for cleaning very easy. We did however find it a little difficult to assemble.

The cage is reasonable value for money bearing in mind its size, however it is the second most expensive cage we have reviewed.

3. Extra Large Rosewood Pico Hamster Cage

 

The main features are:

 

• It is supplied complete with a unique loft den (improved over the previous design), water bottle, food dish and solid wheel (you may want to swap the food dish for something more substantial).
• The cage is easy to assemble with clip free and secure corners.
• It is larger than average and is a feature packed home suitable for Syrian and Russian hamsters as well as mice.
• High quality design and finish.
• Dimensions: 50cm wide, 36 cm deep and 47cm tall; 8.5mm bar spacing (small enough for mice).
• Easy clean design: all components are fixed to the wire top, so as you lift this off everything is removed leaving you with an easy clean base.

In conclusion

 

The extra large rosewood Pico offers extra space and load of fun levels for your pet to explore. It is much bigger than the standard pico cage. The contemporary design and colours mean it looks good and both the wire and plastic parts are finished to a high quality. It has a unique (and improved) loft den which allows for easier interaction between you and your pet.

Other great features include a ‘drop in’ water bottle, twin doors with secure closures, a generously sized food dish and a quiet, solid wheel. All components come away with the wire top as you lift it off the base for easier cleaning. The 8.5mm bar spacing means the home is ideal for Syrian hamsters and is also great for most mice and dwarf hamsters (except Roborovski’s).

The cage is easy to assemble with clip-free secure corners. Assembled dimensions are: 50cm wide, 36cm deep and 47cm high. Also available in a great pink, teal and purple colours.

We would recommend this cage as the best budget option as it is quite a lot cheaper than the other cages.

Overall we would rate the cage as a 4.0 out of 5.0 with the cage dropping 1 star as we feel it could ideally be slightly larger.

Again we would recommend Amazon for buying the Extra Large Rosewood Pico cage:   (other colours are available).

we loved the size of this cage and the large top opening helps with cleaning, however we did find that the wheel is not very good and would recommend the purchase of a free standing wheel. This makes the cage slightly expensive although the cage still represents reasonable value for money.
