I need help finding a hamster cage. I have a sylerian hamster. He is way too fat to fit in the tube cages, and plus I heard they're hard to clean. Right now he has a ten gallon cage and it's just too small and boring for him, so is there any chance anyone knows where or what kind of cage to get? I want one with multiple levels in it.
Answers:
My hamsters are both is 2 level cages from Meijer that cost about $25 each. But they really aren't any larger than the 10 gallon. If he's bored, he probably needs more to do to keep him occupied. A Syrian needs about an 8 inch wheel to handle his size so if you have something smaller he's squeezing himself to fit and not stretching out for a good run. He also needs things to chew on and attention from you. You might throw in some extra toys. They don't need to be expensive store bought, he'll like the stuff you can make yourself, and almost all hamsters love to have a spare paper tube to chew on or use as nesting material.
Petsmart,Petco, or Uncle Bills
Get a plastic trash bin and throw some small cardboard boxes in there for him.
Check out this site. Bet you can find something here.

I used to work in a pet store and the siberians were always in the wheel--definitely get a wheel, no matter what cage he's in.
petsmart has several nice crittertrails, as well as petco.
Have you considered a bin cage? You make them yourself using the plastic bins from WalMart. It is much cheaper, you just have to keep an eye out for chew spots. Also, if he is big enough, have you tried the ferret tubes? They are bigger than the hamster tubes, you just can't attach them to the hamster cages. Good luck!
