Can you use a rat cage for a hamster?
Yes, you can use a fish tank as hamster cage and it works really well ~ better than some of the wire cages because there is no chance of the hamster's feet getting caught in the wire. The tanks are easy to clean and provide a lot of room for a wheel and toys for your hamsters. Just make sure to get the wire lids that are made for the tank and tank clips if your wheel or toys are very tall.

Third of all just get a hamster their WAY nicer than ginnie pigs and im just not talking about some ginnie pigs are mean i mean ALL of them. Fourth of all im getting a hamster and naming it hammypoo.

It's also a fact that the maximum life span for hamsters is 3 years, whereas Guinea Pigs can live to up to 13 years.
