Is your hamster's home big enough? Check the floor, bedding and wheel

Is your hamster's home big enough? Vets and welfare charities agree on the basics: at least 100 × 50 cm of floor, deep digging bedding and a wheel big enough that the back stays flat.

Pick your hamster type, type in your measurements and get a quick checklist showing where your setup is good and where it falls short. We also explain why the numbers are so big, where sources differ, and when to ask a vet.
