Hi, I'm planning on getting a hamster soon and have been looking for a suitable cage. Does anyone think that this cage would be good for a hamster? Are there any better cages for a cheaper price?

Have a look at the list I linkedThanks for all of your replies! I am in the UK. I'll look into the Rodipet cage too, as it will have space for deeper bedding.
I haven't decided yet, but possibly one of the dwarf species. From what I have heard, they are (slightly) easier to please than Syrian hamsters and less likely to become unhappy in their enclosure. Obviously this depends on the individual hamster, too.Do you know which species of hamster you are adopting?
Thank you!Have a look at the list I linkedThe Bucatstate is quite popular as well - but not cheap. Some of the barred cages are less expensive, like the new Savic Plaza 120, which is huge! Bigger than 100 x 50. The base doesn't hold deep bedding but you can get creative to adapt it so it does. If you put perspex panels round the inside though, it can cost as much as a Bucatstate. You could use cardboard or grass mats tied to the inside of the bars instead though. But it does depend what species of hamster you're getting.
Also that Holzart I linked (it's on the cages thread) is much cheaper if bought from the link on the thread!
Thanks! I am not yet looking for a hamster - still researching and gathering supplies - but this will be useful for when I am ready to adopt one.I have had a dwarf and a robo and they have both been wonderful. I do not know where about you are in the UK but we have a list of hamster rescues on here.

Currently known Rescue and Adoption Centre for Hamsters in various parts of the Uk is: Happy Hamsters - link below Many rescue and adoption places seem to have closed since the pandemic, so if anyone knows of any in their area please add them below or start a new post...thehamsterforum.com
I love that you are doing your research. I researched and bought everything I needed for about one year before adopting mine.Thanks! I am not yet looking for a hamster - still researching and gathering supplies - but this will be useful for when I am ready to adopt one.
The cage looks nice, i think the bedding room could be a little deeper though since they love to burrow. Maybe a bit larger, but i didn’t look at the square inches.
