Is this cage big enough for a Syrian hamster?

The footprint is about 23.6 by 15.7 inches, which is on the small side for an adult Syrian. The four tiers add floor space, but a Syrian needs a large wheel, and the included 10.2-inch wheel is tight for one.

Why is it not suitable for Roborovski hamsters?

The bar spacing is about 0.4 inches. Roborovskis are small enough to slip through gaps that size, so they need a cage with tighter bars or a glass-only tank.

What comes in the box?

The cage, glass tank, ramps, platform, hut, running wheel, food bowl, water bottle and a manual. Assembly is required.

How hard is it to clean?

The cage frame unclips from the glass tank, and there are front and top doors. Owners can lift off the upper section to reach the bedding without dismantling the whole cage.

Can it house rats or gerbils?

It is listed for rats and gerbils, and the steel bars resist chewing. Check the tier heights and hut size, since adult rats are larger than hamsters and may outgrow the platform and hut.

Does the glass bottom need a liner?

No. The tempered glass holds bedding directly, which is the point of the design. Add several inches of bedding so hamsters can burrow against the glass.

Our take on the Hamster Tank

A four-tier hamster cage that combines a tempered-glass tank base with a steel-bar upper section. The glass bottom holds deep bedding for burrowing, while ramps, a platform and a hut add climbing space. It ships with a running wheel, food bowl and water bottle, so it is close to ready on arrival apart from assembly. The bar spacing of about 0.4 inches suits Syrian and dwarf hamsters, rats and gerbils, but not Roborovski hamsters, which can squeeze through.
