Your cage does not have to be very large. As long as there is room for food, water, an exercise wheel, a place for you hamster to sleep, and a little extra room for walking around, you should be fine.

∙ 12y agoI have 2 Russian dwarf hamsters. I keep mine in separate cages because they used to fight a lot to the bleeding point. I recommend you keep them in 2 separate cages to prevent fighting. They shouldn't be extremely big or too small, a medium size would be nice. If your still having trouble with size, ask a worker at the pet store what they recommend. Any cage for hamsters will work, but I think you should buy one from Petsmart if there is one near you because they have a good variety of hamster supplies and cages. Hope this helps!
