The Blue Cross Animal Welfare Charity recommend a minimum enclosure size for a hamster at 100cm length x 50cm width x 50cm height.
The sizing of our Extra Large Hamster Home vastly exceeds the recommended minimum floor area but with a standard height of less than the 50cm recommended minimum. We feel that due to the extra length and width, there is plenty of space for a deep layer of substrate at one end of the enclosure, leaving the other end free for a house, wheel and hamster activity toys, but if you’re looking for the extra height, you’ll find the Extra Tall version of this Pet Home here.

Just bought Large Hamster cage and am happy with purchase. Lady on phone was great, gave tips on why my hamster ate the last (plastic) cage and arranged swift delivery of the new one. The cage itself is well made and spacious, instructions were easy to follow, can’t find fault. Based on my experience I feel I can recommend Hamster Homes, thank you.

This cage is one of the best cages I’ve seen to put a hamster in the length and height is a perfect size any hamster including a Syrian will look small in this for how big it is.It’s a perfect height to have a good few inches of bedding in for them to burrow and make hides in and you have a lot of space to add a big wheel,tunnels,hide chambers,ladders,sand baths etc

We bought this for our male Syrian hammy and are so pleased we did. He’s gone from being a big hamster in a small home to a tiny hammy in a huge home! It is so spacious and well-built. There is room for lots of burrow spots, a large wheel, a large running saucer, hides and tunnels. Our hamster is so happy and comfortable in his new environment. We love being able to see him more often now thanks to the extra space and the perspex front. It’s easy to spot clean & clean as the lid can be propped open. Thank you for making and delivering such a perfect habitat.
