What is the bar spacing for this cage? Would it be good for a Syrian hamster?

The bar spacing is too wide for a hamster. It will be able to squeeze through. It works for larger critters, like a guinea pig.

The bar spacing is 1/2". I'm using this cage for two budgies, and the spacing is perfect for them.

I will have to look and get back with you tomorrow. I ordered this cage for my granddaughter's guinea pig. It is nice size but I don't know off hand what the spacing is. I will let you know

It's about an inch between the bars. DO NOT buy this for any size hamsters. Hamsters can squeeze into spaces the size of their skull, which is why this is meant for guineas and rabbits. My hamster escaped this and he's a huge Syrian fancy bear hamster. Petco and petsmart sell rat cages that are almost the size of this with smaller bar spacing. I bought that for my hammy and it works perfectly. Good luck!

The space between the bars may be too wide for a hamster; they are about 1 inch apart, so he may be able to squeeze through them & get out.

No, this is more of a rabbit or guinea pig cage, you should look into the superpet cages for hamsters, I had a large Syrian in a two level and it worked great

This cage definitely has room for an exercise wheel. Our hamster had room for a wheel, plastic house, and hammock (never used, but it was cute!), plus room for the water bottle. He ate on the shelf that was included, but we had no ladder- he just climbed up using the cage wall. I highly recommend this cage for larger hamsters. It's easy to view the hamster, but deep enough for him to feel safe. The biggest plus is how easy this cage is to clean. Happy hamstering !

My daughter has a teddy bear hamster in this cage and it is good enough but for just a short amount of time because there isn"t much room for the hamster to run around.

I am sorry but I do not have an answer for you. I used it in connection with another habitrail system. Also, it should be fine for a gerbil. I had a dwarf hamster and a regular hamster and both are fine in there. The dwarf had a hard time climbing up when I contstrcted the cage that way but the normal size one is fine.

Sorry... I stand corrected this particular model has 1/2 inch spacing between bars. So Yes this cage would be a perfect spacious home for a cute little sugar glider.

Agree with others, this would be a palace for a dwarf hamster, I'm sure it would be very happy inside :) Just make sure you know your cage dimensions so you know if it'll fit! This hideaway takes up too much space in my massive guinea pig cage so we just use it for floor time.

Yes it is. It is a big cage. Very roomy. Great for big hamsters. I love it.

I think that would be a comfortable size. I purchased mine as emergency cages for an African Grey & an Indian Ringneck (separately) and am confident they would be comfortable in it for at least that long. Bar spacing should be fine for your green cheek, too.

Half an inch. Not sure what a syrian/teddy bear hamster is but this cage is perfect for small pets. Hamsters, gerbils, mice, sugar gliders.

We have had 3 different Syrian hamsters and no escapes yet. It's suitable. Actually it's quite nice compared to most hamster housing!

The tubes on this cage are too small for a Syrian hamster. Habitrail has an OVO cage for the Syrian that is exactly like this one but the tubes are larger.

I wouldn't get this for a hamster. The bars are really far apart and flexible so they would slip right out. Its also really huge and hamsters like the small tight spaces of a reg hamster cage.
