Is this cage big enough for a Syrian hamster?

No. PawHut states it is not for larger breeds such as Syrian hamsters. It suits dwarf hamsters and gerbils.

What comes in the box?

The cage, water bottle, food dishes, exercise wheel, small house and play tubes are included. Assembly is required.

Can I add more bedding?

The bottom tray is about 3 inches deep, so bedding depth is limited. Deeper bedding needs a larger bin-style cage.

Is the wheel big enough?

The wheel is about 5 inches across. Many owners upgrade to a larger wheel, especially for adult hamsters.

How much space does it need?

The footprint is about 18 by 12 inches and it stands about 23 inches tall, so it fits on a desk or shelf.

The front door gives access, but the small opening and stacked levels make full cleaning slower than on a single-level cage.

Our take on the 5-Tier Portable Hamster Cage

The PawHut 5-Tier Hamster Cage is a starter kit for dwarf hamsters and gerbils, with five levels, ladders, a play tube system and a front door for access. It bundles a water bottle, food dishes, an exercise wheel and a small house, so a new owner needs little else to begin. The footprint is compact at roughly 18 by 12 inches, which suits a desk or shelf but limits floor space. Rivals in this class often include similar accessories; the trade-off here is vertical space over horizontal running room, and the small wheel and shallow tray draw the most criticism from owners.

What reviewers say

Owners treat it as a budget starter cage that works for dwarf hamsters and gerbils but is cramped for larger species. Praise centers on the included accessories and the compact size; complaints focus on the small wheel, shallow tray and flimsy plastic.
