My GF's hamster has been with them over a year now and I was wondering whats the biggest, best cage to get for her. My gf little sister is so in love with the lil thing and she wants to get it a very "cool" cage.
Any ideas? Pictures?
Thanks alot!

If you have a dwarf, habitrails are great, such as the space station or safari.
If you have a syrian, Crittertrails are nice. I don't like S.A.M cages since they are entirely made of plastic so that isn't good venilation.

I think that the best cages are a whole bunch of cages connected by tubes. I really like just a ten gallon fish tank and you can buy a lid that fits on top of it that has tubes coming out of it so you can connect it. I like a plain fish tank because you can fill a few inches of the bottom with shavings so they can bury themselves and you can put all the little
plastic figures in them. I also agree with lilgyspyhammy that crittertrails are nice cages and they're not too expensive.

Thanks for the input...but wouldnt a 10 gallon tank be really hard to clean?

Heavier... but not too difficult in a bathtub.

I prefer a regular glass tank, and then you can add anything you want to it. Plus, you could add a lid that has spots for tubes, so the hamster can climb around in those, and have plenty of room to roam around.

I love the sterilite bins from walmart because they're cheap and really big and customizable. So maybe she'll like those
