These are all cages that are an appropriate size. You can also look up DIY bin cages or get a 30 gallon tank.

You really want to have 4-6 inches of bedding for burrowing purposes.

Ok - one popular option is the Detolf DIY (turning the Detolf cabinet from IKEA into a large tank). This gives them a ton of floor space, but you'll need to construct a cover for it because a Syrian could climb out of it quite easily. Just go to Home Depot, cut some trim wood to size, and stretch some chicken wire across it. I'd recommend making two smaller frames so that they're easier to open -- lots of YouTube tutorials on this.

If you don't want to go the DIY/tank route, this cage (from Amazon) seems to get the best reviews for Syrians and is bigger than anything you could get in a pet store. I think if I were to buy a Syrian, this would be one of my top choices:

HOWEVER, that wheel doesn't look large enough for a Syrian. If you really want to spoil your ham, get it a nice wheel. The wheel needs to be 10" - 13" in diameter. Popular options are:

There's a lot of options! With a bigger cage, you'll definitely see an improvement in your hamster's behavior. It's recommended that the cage size be around 450 sq inches of uninterrupted floor space, so you'd prob want the cage size to be about 600 sq inches.

If you're feeling crafty:


  1. Bin cage (cheap) - take a cheap plastic storage bin, cut a large square out of the lid, add some wire mesh to the hole to provide fresh air for the hamster, and you've got a cage.

  2. Rabbit cage (this is what I did) - rabbit cages are generally a good size for hamsters, but the bars are often spaced too far apart so you'll need to add some mesh around the outside so the hamster can't escape.

    There's also fish tanks that you can use or some people buy an Ikea detolf cabinet (~$50) and lie it on its side. If you have some money to spend, there's a few (very few) hamster cages that are an adequate size for a hamster. This is the only one that I know of (and it's a little pricey), but maybe you can find something else:

    Also, for a syrian, it's recommended that you have an 11-12" wheel!!

Thanks for the advise, but she used to LOVE her ball.

The only thing we have changed is getting another hamster, but they're kept in totally different cages, opposite ends of the room (about 15 foot apart), and use different balls and are out at different times so they don't bang into each other.

And before questions are asked, the other hamster's eyes are absolutely fine.

Both hamsters are female golden syrians, the older one, with the eye problem is 7 month, the younger one without any problems is 16 weeks.

The vet normally takes about 3-4 minutes to get too but you have to book an appointment and one is not always available, and her eye can "calm down" within a minute of her cleaning herself or within 15 minutes, it depends, which is why a check-up at the vet is impractical, as it costs £15 to get her seen too, even if her eye is fine at the time or not, they could turn around and say literally "She's fine" and charge you, even if it took 10 seconds to see her.

We don't normally see her run in her wheel very often, my guess is that she does it during the night, but we have saw her once or twice and she certainly runs flat, no bending of the back.

Her cage is the biggest cage on the market so space isn't a problem at all.

Here are some photos, sorry if they aren't good enough as she kept moving but its better than nothing.

She normally spends anywhere from 15 minutes, half an hour to an hour, we let her roam around the whole house, no other animals are in the house apart from the other Syrian hamster which we get out at different times.

A 20 gallon long aquarium at minimum is what I saw as the cheapest&easiest way to go (bin cages are hard work and not as aesthetically pleasing to me).

On amazon, though, I think this is the only cage I've lusted after that could maybe work but its pricey http://www.amazon.com/Lixit-Animal-Care-Hamster-Heaven/dp/B003QRPAR2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1462223106&sr=8-1&keywords=lixit+hamster+cage

^Also depends on the hamster's size. I have seen some massive syrian hamsters in pet stores, while mine was much smaller (but grew out of her 6" wheel pretty quickly so add in some growth as you decide and when you consider wheel size). I was always worried that the tubes would be too small for my syrian and she'd get stuck XD For a syrian it's usually 8" wheel minimum, though as I said some are larger and really need that 10" or 11" wheel.

A last comment is that a hamster is not a great pet for a four year old. They're crepuscular but seem to be mostlyy active at night in my experience. And they are fragile creatures. They can overstrain and basically break their back like rabbits. With that in mind, I would hope that this is mostly your/the adult's pet that the four year old can hopefully somewhat enjoy and participate with care

edit: just saw the shipping on that cage on amazon wow haha here's free shipping at ebay though http://www.ebay.com/itm/Metro-Cage-Lixit-Hamster-and-Mouse-critter-cage-Hamster-Heaven-Brand-New-/222087857216?hash=item33b577c440:g:Yq8AAOSwhDdXEQ6E
