Can a Fancy Hamster easily fit through the tubes?

Not sure exactly what a Fancy Hamster is, but I have medium size furry Hamsters that go through the tubes, like to sleep in them.

Not sure how big fancy rats are or what they are...we have a teddy bear hamster and he loves it. He's a good sized and, when he stands up against the rails, he's nowhere near the top. However, he's really, really docile and complacent. Not much of a climber...so he doesn't even try to figure out ways to get out. He just hangs out in there. I wouldn't leave them alone in it, but it's great to get them out of their cages for a bit and not have them on the hands. I highly recommend it quality wise. It's a nice product.

Put a peanut in the top and they will climb to it. I have two different dwarf hamsters each in their own habitat and they both use the tubes.

My siberian long hair hamster fits just fine in it. they do make one for a dwarf hamster as well. Habitrail OVO Dwarf Hamster Habitat

We have a pair of fancy mice females who can move comfortably through the tunnels. Very small dwarf hamsters might fit, but larger hamsters would be too big - I'm not sure about gerbils. The tubes are less than 2" or about 4.5 cms at widest points. Hope this helps!

Answer below is accurate; cage would work well for a guinea pig or small rabbit, but definitely not for a hamster or other small rodent. They could squeeze out or get stuck between the bars.

I would go with a larger metal cage, the connection tubes might be to narrow. In addition the hamster will make it's den up in the wheel making it very noisy and messy when he tries to run in it.

Yes, they should be able to. We have a Netherland Dwarf rabbit that goes in there and he's bigger than any guinea pig that I've ever seen.

I don't think so. I have a female teddy bear hamster and she goes through the tubes just fine, even with her cheeks stuffed to capacity! When I saw her go through her tubes with her cheeks full I was afraid she would get stuck, but she went all the way through with no problem and no hesitation. So unless you have the chunkiest hamster on the planet, I think you'll be perfectly fine using this for your teddy bear hamster. :)

I don't know much about those hamsters, but I'd think it would be fine. Did you have a specific concern ? The only thing I don't know about is can your hamster fit through tiny spaces (like the spaces between the bars) ? I know I had a small pet mouse when I was a kid that could fit through anything.

I wouldn't recommend it unless the hamster was already grown and larger than 5 or 6 inches. It could squeeze between the bars. Its also way more space than a hamster typically requires. Experience: worked with hamsters and other small animals at Petco for 10 months.

If you have a dwarf hamster, yes, otherwise, if you have a Syrian hamster, absolutely not. They will get stuck in the tubes, and there isn't enough room on the floor of a cage to put a full size wheel (Syrian hamsters- not dwarfs- need 11 or 12" wheels).

Should work fine for hamsters. I use mine for a Ball Python, and he can't get out.

No! We now have a smaller hamster and he is trying to squeeze through. I am certain that a mouse would be through in an instant!

No... just right for hamster. The tubes will be too small for a guinea pig.

We have a Chinese Hamster in our cage. She fits fine in the tunnels (she is bigger than a dwarf), but we put in a different wheel because the one that comes with it is for small dwarf sized hamsters only. Anything bigger than a Chinese Hamster won't work though. We had a teddy bear hamster and she did not fit in the tunnels.

Yes! We have 2 large Siberian hamsters in ours, it's great!! Plenty of room!
