FAQ
- What kind of cage is best for a hamster?
That depends on the hamster’s breed. If you have a Syrian hamster, they usually require their own large space to accommodate their territorial nature and to allow them to exercise.
At the same time, you can’t go wrong with going for larger cages. A large space will resemble their natural habitat, preventing them from feeling trapped. Finally, the hamster cage should have a deep base to allow them to burrow.
- How big of a cage do I need for a hamster?
The bigger, the better. Ideally, your hamster cage should be at least 60cm x 30cm (24” x 12”) and has a height of at least 30cm (12”).
- How to clean a hamster cage?
Scrub the empty cage with mild soap and warm water or cage cleaning solution. Instead of soap, you can wash the cage with vinegar, but make sure to thoroughly rinse away any residue.
Depending on the type of hamster cage you have for your pet, it may be easier to disassemble the cage before cleaning. This allows you to thoroughly clean each section without having to struggle through small doors or access points.
