is a habitrail safari with a maze big enough for two dwarf hamsters? please only respond if you've had experience with these
Answers:
There are no pictures..
but any cage that is at least a foot and a half or longer should be sufficient as long as you play w/ your hamster everyday.
Sorry, but, do you think you could post pictures? It would really help! Thanks,

Edit: Ok, I looked at the pictures! A dwarf hamster can't live in that. Even if you added tubes and then a cage, a dwarf hamster can easily fall through the tubes, and hurt it's self! It best that you get an aquarium to house your dwarf hamsters in! Thanks, and good luck,

You are better off with a wire cage. The habitrails are more for people than pets. IMO and experience they are dangerous(with tubes). I had a cousin(years back) whose hamster suffocated in the tubes. I purchased one and it was broken in about a week.
Best cages I ever purchased were from http://www.martinscages.com/products/cag... if you do purchase from here, buy the coated cage, the galvanized ones smell after awhile. Spending a little extra is worth it. I have had my two Martins cages for almost 10 years.
No. The habitrail cage is too small for one dwarf, let alone two, and the website you provided says the maze isn't meant to be attached to the cage.
You could buy another habitrail (two more would be best), but because of money I don't think thats the best choice.
You could get an 10 gallon minimum aquarium and buy a lid that will allow you to attach the habitrail, these are for sale. Or just forget about the habitrail.
You could also buy a jumbo plastic storage bin for your hamster, these are my favorite cages. You can even make a second story out of cardboard, a dishrack, and a little latter. The bin will need ventilation, so drill holes in the side with a power drill, or cut out a large portion of the lid and cover it with wire mesh. You could put your habitrail inside the bin along with the maze.
i think soo =]
Prodigy556 is right. I bought a habitrail cage, and they fall apart easily, and ARE NOT easy to clean. ur better off with just getting a rat cage, ya know a plain wire one, and then add little toys and fun stuff for you hammy.
no thats sooo small i have a dwarf and it 5X that size
I wouldn't get that for a dwarf hamster... my dwarf lives in this:

and sometimes I think even that is too small! haha
Of course she is spoiled...
Regardless, the reason I wouldn't get that cage is because the wire bars go all the way around. I definitely would get a wire cage, but if your dwarf is anything like mine, she will LOVE to climb up the wire bars... and if she somehow manages to go all the way up, and up-side down, she will fall and get very hurt. You should find a cage where they can always climb back down... (even though it will take them a long time to learn how ;) )
DO NOT use an aquarium for any small animal be it rodent or cavy. They are not well ventilated and the amonia from the urine builds up and causes respiratory infections. That also applies to pine and cedar beddings. They have phenols in them that cause damage to the lungs.
Get a wire cage that is at leat two levels with a ramp and solid floor and shelve(s). If it has a wire floor cover it with something that is solid and sturdy that you can change or wash when it gets peed on.
Honey that thing is bgger than my room. Wow that's a palace.
I would think it is big enough for two hamsters.
