    Besides the size, it's important each hamsters cage to be clean and safe for the pet you will breed in it. There are many types and styles of hamster cages and not always the most expensive is the best. Before you buy, you should decide exactly what kind of hamster (especially his size) will live in the cage. You need to have a good access to the hamster in the cage in order to move him when you clean. It's also very important to decide in advance where you will put the hamster cage so to make it suit with your home furnishings. It should be in a place of the room where the temperature won't be variable (do not put it in a draught or under air conditioning), and also on a direct sunlight.

Main hamster cage specifications:

Always check if the doors and all other openings in the hamster cage are properly closed because hamsters are known for their often escapes from the habitat. Be sure the cage you buy is specifically designed for hamsters and the distance between the bars is narrow enough for secure reasons. The cage should assemble and dismantle easily in order to make the cleaning possible. Hamsters cages should not be made of materials such as wood, cardboard or fabric, because hamsters can easily chew it and run away. Ventilation is also essential for you and your rodent because it prevents the addling of the cage. Sharp edges are dangerous for the risk of hurting your hamster if he tries to chew them. If the cage is too narrow, the hamster might be unhappy in it.

Wire hamster cages:
These cages were extremely popular among hamsters fans in the past and still you can find a great variety of them in most stores. Wire frame hamster cages have one or several levels. One of the best characteristics of these habitats is that most of them are chew proof. Hamsters are known with they desire to chew everything in their environment, including their own home.

• Common wire hamster cages can be found in most stores as some are sold in hamster starter kit that includes everything needed for growing a hamster. Wire hamster cages are not always suitable for breeding of dwarfs because as youngs they are likely to escape from the cage (the cages that we suggested in section dwarf hamster cages are consistent with their size). Wire frame cages are perfect for Syrian hamsters of all ages. The advantages of the wire cages are that they are cheap, light, easy to clean (you can disassemble them and clean them basically, it is better to have a place to put the hamster during that time - hamster carrier will do the job), strong and impossible for the creature to chew. Among the disadvantages are that the animal is constantly in the draught and there is a risk to catch cold, if he is under the normal size, he can get stuck between the bars (cages we offer are conformable with this and are with the least possible distance between bars). Trays of some hamster cages are shallow and it allows the rodent to be scatter the shavings while he is digging.

• Another major problem that remained in the past was that most wire hamster cages did not offer enough space. Now cages with two and three stories provide your animal with enough space for running and playing. When you buy a cage with more than one story you should check whether the distance between the levels is not very big because a fall may cause injury to the hamster. Most cages have several floors separated by a tray, which makes the cleaning easier. They are perfect for the Syrians and not always ideal for dwarfs, because some smaller creatures can pass between the bars. TIP: If your hamster can put his head through the bars, so he can put his body, too. Most wire hamster cages have a simple design.

Another type of hamster cage is half plastic and half wired. They unite in themselves the best of both types of habitats. The bottom is plastic, which protects the little feet of hamsters from injury. The upper part is wired and fastened to bottom. Generally these hamster cages are  spacious and have enough space where you can install wheel and more.

Glass aquarium hamster cage: 
Like any other habitat aquariums have advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages include: less injuries if hamster is trying to get out often, you have a good view towards the rodent; the draught is almost missing.
The disadvantages are: difficult to clean (you can only clean them from above); very heavy and uncomfortable for carrying; problems with the condensation (remember, that the hamster is partly desert animal and moisture can be harmful for him), moreover, condensation contributes to the development of fungus that can cause your hamster to get ill; they are more expensive than the rest types of hamster cages and are more fragile that also can injure you or your animal in case of breakage; there is no place to hang the water bottle (some glue the bottle with tape, but it often comes off and hamsters can run away when he climbs to drink); you shouldn't left such cages near windows or by sunlight places, because the glass can act as a magnifying glass and to bake your hamster.

Plastic Aquarium hamster cages: 
In many of the advantages and disadvantages, plastic and glass aquariums are same. The main differences are that plastic ones are lighter, cheaper and easier to move and clean. In the course of time they might be scratched by the hamsters which look ugly. No matter plastic or glass, an aquarium of 10 galloons is suitable for one Syrian or two dwarfs. Remember that you need and cover and the best is to stake on a hamster tank topper which doubles the size of your aquarium and your pet will be protected.

Plastic tube hamster cages: 
These cool hamster cages are the favorite cages of the most hamster fans. You can find lots of them here, including Crittertrail Three (very large hamster cage), Crittetrail Two and Crrittetrail X. Although they look very nice, they have some disadvantages that we must introduce you. Tubes are difficult to clean - they have to be dismantled, cleaned and then again to be assembled. Even a few cases of stuck Syrians and pregnant hamsters in tubes are documented. If the cage is made only of plastic, the condensation and ventilation are another problems that can cause the cage to smell bad (that's why we avoid selling Habitrail). Cages that have tubes and bars are not suffering from condensation which can be very harmful for hamsters. The advantages of these cages are again in the tubes because they remind the holes that hamsters and rodents love to hide in and explore. These cool hamster cages are the habitats that are as close as possible to their natural environment. It is also very funny to watch how hamsters are walking and throwing in the tubes. Overall, the combination of tubes and bars is the best decision for your hamster. Tubes can be connected with other tubes or even with another cage, as this will enormously increase the space for your pet.  All the products from our shopping list are from 100% reliable sources and most of them are MADE IN THE USA.
