Good & Bad Hamster Cages (Mainly Europe)

PLEASE NOTE: This video is old and at the time 360 was the correct size but sometime in 2017 the size got changed to 450 square inches and the old minimum (360) is now considered too small. So try and find a cage that gives at least this amount :)

The habitrail featured is also no longer suitable due to the size change

The new minimum is 450 square inches I know it was 360 when this was posted but I just wanted to say this for new hamster owners or ones who did not know the minimum had changed :) .

[kasinokaiser]

Don't forget Nicolas Cage, his overacting is potentially bad for your hamster

The double layer cages still don’t work it needs to be 360” unbroken ground space it can not be split in to multiple layers

Could people kindly stop complaining about the cages I include only being sold in Europe. It is not my fault that you guys don't have as much of a range of suitable cages that we do. If you did I honestly would have included them in this video. It's not my fault so can you please consider that before complaining. Thank you :)

My mom thinks that the small cages are alright :( How do I convince her that their not okay?

I just went through the comments and wish I hadn’t :( honestly people get so angry and upset calling you a know it all, you never claimed to know it all, you just want to help people and you do. It’s your videos as well as others that got me to the point I currently am with my care, and I’m very grateful, so in this sea of hate I would just like to say thank you on behalf of my hamsters :)

Please I need help my mom and dad bought me a 50 dollar hamster cage and I'm 99% sure it is to small and we can't return it. I don't want to hurt my parents feelings. What do I

[niamhguyll]

my hamster has a barred cage with levels and at night wuld climb the bars and drop down with a huge thud and when we put her in her plastic cage she climbs on her bed and grabs on the bars at the top and walks back and forth on them hanging upside down

[andrea_]

Ok, here’s the thing, hamsters need 360sq inches UNBROKEN space. That means two levels don’t count.

[alloutlife]

"Mainly Europe" and you're not using metric system...

**awkward moment when your watching hamster videos but you don't have one**

[KimmieGreen]

This video was amazing! Looks like you spent so much time on this video Peachy!! Great job on editing this and you gave out wonderful information. I loved it :)

[pencilpusher]

Every hamster I've had just chews through the plastic on these "good cages"

[harrybuckley]

At 7:31 did anyone see the hamster in the bowl on the top like if you did

[petcarevlogs]

my cage set up:
20 gallon tank attached to 1 habitrail ovo loft, 1 habitrail ovo base, 2 habitrail ovo travel cages, 1 habitrail ovo "maze add on", and lots of tubes. is that good?

[sangnomiya_kokomi]

Connecting 2 or more cages doesnt make up for the floor space it just cost more and you cant put Large toys in like the habitrail cage
EDIT I know the size minimum has changed to 450 sq inches

[purplekitten]

Ahhh levels don’t increase floor space!!!! Eve though most information in this video is now out of date, levels never counted and never will count towards unbroken floor space.
Also for any new hamster owners out there, the UK minimum cage size is 50cm x 80cm, that’s 620sq in 😊

Rosy_Pikachu - For some reason it won't let me reply to you so I thought I would do it here. Hopefully you will see this. That sounds awfully big for a pets at home hamster cage and a pink hattie cage. Are you sure you measured this correctly? :) It can be very easy to end up with the wrong amount by simply missing a certain thing. Just incase you have missed out something, when measuring length and width, you then need to convert the total amount of centimeters to inches. I find the converter online is very useful. Then times that together on the calculator and that will give you the total amount of square inches. Once you have done that then come back to me and tell me the result and I will let you know if that is suitable. :)
