I am looking for a cage. I am getting a teddy bear hamster. I take this seriouse so make it a good cage. You can reccomend any cages. But I prefere a cage from petsmart. Thank you for your time. p.S i am not a first time owner a 3 time owner. And no I am not a freak about them. I mean by that a weird old hamster lady.

1. i recommend the one that looks like a Habittrail. it is plastic with sevearl outlets for tubes and lets him move from a larger cage to a smaller sleeping one. Hamsters are super active and need to move around alot. Get the rolling ball too. Good Luck!
2. the forrest
3. http://petco.com/Shop/Product.aspx?familyid=15484&Ntt=crittertrail%20y&OneResultRedirect=1 Petsmart sells this cage as well. I currently have X, Y, and Z versions, but Y is by far the best! Great amount of space/room, the wheel is virtually silent, my hamster loves climbing into the lookout, and adding extensions is very easy!! Easy to clean too!
4. This is the type of cage my sister used for her hamster, and it worked great. http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2752706 I don't recomend a plastic cage, because any hamster can easily chew through it.
5. I used to have a teddy bear hamster myself, it depends on how many your going to have, 1-3 hamsters can live comfortably without needing a huge cage. I think the hamster cages are pretty standard, size wise. If you want a large cage for them, I had a glass fish tank, it was inexpensive, easy to clean, i just rinsed it out, and they can't climb out. don't mess with buying a lid, (unless you are concerned about a smell or cats) but they don't stink unless you don't clean it for weeks. Hope this was helpful!
6. there's pros and cons to any kind of hamster cage. with a syrian hamster(which is what a teddy bear is), if you get a cage with tubes make sure the tubes are roomy enough that the hamster won't get stuck. this happened to my hamster olaf because he's a bit chubby.
