Are you wondering whether the dimensions of Rotastak Fairground Fun Hamster Cages are suitable for your Syrian hamster? It’s understandable. I can imagine the trouble it’ll be, to of return your hamster cage, or buy a new one if it wasn’t the right size.
Avoid making the mistake of buying the wrong cage by reading the two following steps. These two steps will hopefully help you determine:
- What is the minimum recommended cage size for Syrian hamsters, and
- The approximate size of the Rotastak Fairground Fun hamster cage
Step 1.Establish the minimum cage size that is required for Syrian hamsters.
After researching popular hamster forums, experienced Syrian owners recommend that the minimum size of a Syrian hamster cage is:
- Height: 30.5cm or 12″
- Width: 30.5cm or 12″
- Depth: 61cm x 24″
(Please note that each cage can only house one adult Syrian hamster. Be warned. This is because Syrian hamsters are territorial and solitary animals. They will fight, injure and even kill, other hamsters placed in the same cage. It doesn’t matter whether they are the same breed or not.)
Step 2.Compare the above with the measurements of the Rotastak Fairground Fun cage for hamsters.
The 3 main Rotastak units (kidney-shaped, circular-unit and dining-room) are designed to be stacked to become a 3 storey home.
After assembly, the approximate dimensions of the Rotastak Fairground Fun are:
- Height: 57cm or 22.5″
- Width: 50cm or 20″
- Depth: 75cm or 29.5″
Keep in mind that how you arrange the bright orange tubes for your Syrian to climb, will affect the overall amount of space the cage needs.
