Is this cage big enough for a Syrian hamster?

No. It is sized for dwarf hamsters and gerbils. Syrian hamsters need far more floor space and a wheel of at least 8 inches.

What comes in the box?

The cage, a ladder, an exercise wheel, a food dish, an 80 ml water bottle, a small hide house and a manual.

Can I add a second hamster?

Gerbils do better in pairs, but dwarf hamsters are usually kept alone. This cage is small for two animals of any kind.

How hard is it to clean?

The front door is small and the ceiling is low, so reach-in cleaning is fiddly. The bottom tray lifts out for a full change.

Does it work for mice or rats?

It suits small mice but not rats, which need a much taller cage with wider bar spacing and room for full-size accessories.

Our take on the 2-Story Hamster Cage with Exercise Wheel

The PawHut 2-Story Hamster Cage is a small starter kit with a two-level metal and plastic habitat, a hide house, ladder, exercise wheel, food dish and 80 ml water bottle. Its footprint is compact, roughly 18.5 by 11.75 inches, so it fits on a shelf or desk. The small 5-inch wheel and shallow 2.75-inch tray suit dwarf hamsters and gerbils, not Syrian hamsters. Against larger tanks and modular cages it offers less floor space and fewer expansion options, so it works best as a first setup for a single small pet.

What reviewers say

Owners of dwarf hamsters and gerbils generally find it a convenient, good-looking starter cage that is easy to assemble and move. Many say it is too small for adult hamsters and that the wheel and tray are the weak points.

What people mention

SizeCriticisedOwners say the two levels look roomy but the floor area is tight for adult hamsters.
WheelCriticisedThe 5-inch wheel is described as too small, forcing hamsters to curve their backs.
AssemblyPraisedBuyers report the cage goes together quickly with the included parts.
TrayCriticisedThe shallow bottom tray lets bedding scatter outside the cage.
HandlePraisedThe top handle makes it easy to lift and reposition the cage.
