Is this cage big enough for a Syrian hamster?

The five tiers give good vertical space, but the included wheel and hut are too small for most adult Syrians. Plan to swap in a larger wheel and hide.

What bar spacing does it have?

The bars are 0.4 inches apart. That holds Syrian and larger dwarf hamsters, but Roborovski and very small dwarfs can squeeze through.

What comes in the box?

The cage, one hut, one exercise wheel, a water bottle, a food dish, two platforms, two ramps, a tube system and a manual.

Can I move it on my own?

Yes. Four casters let one person roll it for cleaning, though the tall frame is top-heavy, so move it slowly on uneven floors.

How much bedding can the tray hold?

The tray is 6.7 inches deep, enough for a thick burrowing layer. Fill it most of the way and pack it down for tunnels.

Does it need assembly?

Yes, it ships flat and needs assembly with the included manual. Set aside time and have a second person help stand the tall frame up.

Our take on the Hamster Tank

The Hamster Tank is a five-tier steel and plastic cage for hamsters, with a 6.7-inch deep base tray, two platforms, two ramps, a hut, a wheel, a water bottle, a food dish and a tube system included. Its tall footprint and multiple levels give a hamster far more climbing and burrowing room than a single-level wire cage of similar floor area. The 0.4-inch bar spacing suits Syrian and larger dwarf hamsters but is too wide for the smallest dwarfs and Roborovskis. Owners like the easy front and top doors and the wheels, but the included wheel and hut are small for adult Syrians, and the plastic shelves and ramps take chewing and urine damage over time.
