Modular Plastic Cage – This type of hamster cage usually consists of a plastic base with external accessories like tubes, wheels, and more. You can add tubes to extend the cage for exercise potential while still having a main area filled with bedding. As PetHelpful.com notes, there’s some inconsistency from various animal welfare groups about the exact dimensions of the cage, which has led the RSPCA to suggest “as large as possible”.

What's important when buying dwarf hamster cages?

Most hamster owners prefer wire-top cages for Syrian hamsters because they are easy to clean, offer excellent ventilation, and they offer easy access to your hamster. Glass tanks and aquariums are similar to wire-top cages except that the walls are solid. This reduces the risk for escape and allows you to use more bedding, but it does hinder ventilation a little bit and it may be too heavy to move easily. The Pico XL is described as being a fully-furnished hamster home so lets find out what a fully-furnished hamster home comes with. Fully furnished hamster home Modular plastic cages are what most people picture when they think of hamster cages, but they are not necessarily the best option. Plastic cages are expandable, and most hamsters enjoy having a network of tubes to explore. The problem is that there is limited ventilation and food/feces can collect in the tubes. This makes them harder to clean and you’ll have a hard time reaching your hamster if you need to.

First of all, regardless of the cage you choose, it needs to be placed in a location that is draught-free, quiet and with a stable temperature. It should also be away from direct sunlight. You can find out more from the RSPCA on this topic here.

The Rosewood Pico XL is the larger of the two cages in the Pico Hamster Cage range. With a height of 47 cm, width of 50 cm and depth of 36 cm, it's suitable for Syrian Hamsters. As the gap between the bars sits at 8.5 mm the Pico XL hamster cage is also suitable for Dwarf Hamsters from 6-8 weeks of age except Roborovski's.

The cage is really roomy, with lots of room for toys and space for your hammie to run around. The tunnel sections of this cage can be used to connect with other enclosures. The different parts of the cage easily clip and unclip, making it very easy to clean.

There's no doubt the Pico XL is a good hamster cage for the money but does that make it a good hamster cage for your hamster. Your hamsters needs are the most important thing to bear in mind so think carefully… Some cages, like the Pico XL above, mean there are already lots of attachments included. Other cages, like the Ferplast Favola Two-Tier leave space for you to add your own.

These beautiful bundles of joy usually make great first pets, with children able to learn about responsibility by looking after their own hamster. Are Syrian hamsters different to other hamsters?
