I spoke with a few rodent experts at the University of Wisconsin-Madison about why these animals need to be kept in a large cage. They said that “hamsters are very social and active and they love to move around. So they need a lot of room to range around in their cage to live a happy and healthy life. Many German people do have hamster homes with at least 1 m² of floor-space, myself included, because they've realised from experience that especially female Syrians are very active and need the space, otherwise they'll act like what we call a "Randaleweib". Some cages come with several levels that your hamster can climb on and other ones may only have one level.

The most standard type of hamster cage, these often come in the form of a plastic tray base to place bedding and items which can then be secured with a clip-on metal cage frame. Due to how easy they are to take apart, they are by far the easiest to clean and provide the best ventilation. The negative points to a wire-topped cage are that hamsters have a tendency to gnaw on the bars and the spaces between offer plenty of opportunities for bedding and mess to be pushed out of the cage. Plastic The bit that no one considers when buying a pet is how much cleaning they’re going to have to do. If you have a fantastically fun cage full of tunnels, platforms and accessories, it’s going to be an absolute nightmare to clean up. Therefore you have to choose what you’re willing to sacrifice. Glass tanks are probably the most secure home for your hamster as they are incredibly deep and often only have one point of entrance from the roof. They offer great visibility for your pet and it makes owning a hamster far more of an exciting spectacle for yourself and guests. However, they are often very large and heavy, making them not very portable, and easy for smaller hamsters to hide in! Choosing a Hamster Cage

For example, if someone only has very little space in the room in which they want to put the habitat, they can use the height to their advantage and build a higher DIY-cage with many additional floors (as long as the floor area is at least 100x50 cm). Our federal ministry of agriculture and the veterinarian association for animal welfare views this as the absolute minimum, too.
