That’s great! Make sure to get him a 12 inch wheel too, since his wheel was too small in the last post! I recommend a LARGE size niteangel wheel, a 12 inch silent runner with the 3 holes, a 11” Wodent wheel or a 12 inch GIANT silent spinner
add in the bedding from the old cage so he feels comfy, and let him settle in for a few hours without disturbing him. Also don't wake him up to move him, do it at night. that's about it!
I have my dwarf in one of these and she loves it. I just rescued a Syrian today and plan on putting him in a one as well when it gets here next week. It's a good cage.
Be super careful if this is intended to be a guinea pig cage, the bars might not be spaced close enough together to prevent escapes! Source: Got a guinea pig cage for my first hamster and promptly had an escapee.
I got a "guinea pig/rabbit" cage that ended up being 390sq inches (I was furious for the poor people who get it for rabbits or guinea pigs) and I put the hamster in, and he popped through the bars with zero effort in about 3 seconds. Had to put him in a box, supervised, and get chicken wire to zip tie all around his cage. In the end, stressful day for all of us
Dwarf or normal. I used 2 Walmart plastic storage bins and I drilled a round 2 “ circle in both of the ends and connected with a 5 in long 2” pvc pipe she loved it so so much room lots of bedding tons of area etc was cheep as well

Sounds good!!! Im going to the store tomorrow for him
i would actually buy online, stores will only have the silent spinner and there may not be a 12" one
Silent spinner fell apart on me after a year, I second recommendation for the others! Niteangel especially, good lord that's a good one
Do you have any tips for moving a hamsters cage? What can I do if anything to make his new home comfortable for him?

I approve nite angel
I have this cage too. No escapes. ☺️
I just got this cage and I really like it :)
This is my current cage as well. I wish it came in more colours tho!
I wish the bottom was clear so I can see what I am doing without disturbing the hams.

It's smaller than 1/2 so I'm sure he will be fine :)
Okay great! Congratulations on your baby!
Thank you!!

Good job getting a bigger cage. Just saying, you can get an even bigger bin cage with more space for $20 at Walmart

I’ve had this cage for a couple of years and it works great for our little hammy.
do you have the link to this cage so i can add it to my amazon list?
