Answers:
I worked at Petsmart for a year. My experience is that for one dwarf hamster the crittertrail dazzle or the crittertrail two is an ok size. However, I strongle advise against getting a Crittertrail cage. These cages will not last long and you will have to continuely replace pieces of the cage. This is because the dwarf hamster willl chew on the plastic. And they will chew on anything. Another down side to the crittertrails is the lack of ventilation. The dwarf hamsters feces can build up ammonia gas inside the cage. Which means you will have to clean up twice as much. The clean up in these cages are difficult as well. Because of all the little hiding places these cages offer that means that you will have to completely take apart the cage everytime you want to clean it. Another down side is the wheel. The Crittertrail dazzle has the gigantic hideout on the top. Again this is difficult to clean out and these parts often are the first that need to be replaced. In the crittertrail two the gigantic wheel that they have placed in the cage looks awesome. But in a very short amount of time the wheel will begin to squeak and eventually will stop turning. These cages to me are a big hassle and can be harmful actually to your animals. The dwarf hamsters can chew through the cage and you could lose your animal forever. I would suggest to get a wire cage. These cages are easier clean up and they will NEVER chew through the metal. If they do you have a super animal. If it is all the tubes and things and toys that are provided in the critter trail that has your interest, know that you can still give your animal the same opportunity to play. In fact, I often tell customers that the critter trail should be considered more like a playground for your animal and should not be used for a habitat. You can provide tubes and such in a wire cage and they will love it just as much. And you will too, because you'll have less worry. And just an F.Y.I. dwarf hamsters normally do better when there is more than just one. They interact with each other and when you have only one dwarf hamster you will not be able to view some of their interesting characteristics. I hope this helps you and you do consider it.

I dont know how a critter trail dazzle looks but as long as it is a critter trail cage it is the perfect cage for a dwarf hamster. They can live in almost any size cage. Even a critter trail mini just get cage extintions and another cage or somthing just so it has room to play in. Vote me best answer.:]
