The space mentioned might make the Hamster stressed because they need at least 600 sq in as per the US haze act.
"It serves as a good expansion cage but had crack which they replaced. Then Chewy's customer service is not good as it took a long while to deliver the replacement. Not worth the price."
"This is far too small for any small animal to use as a permanent home. Hamsters need 600sqin minimum of unbroken floorspace. Gerbils and mice need to be in pairs and would need a larger cage than this."
