Rank #9 in Best Hamster Cage 2026: 10 Ranked by Real Floor Space
PawHut 2-Tier Hamster Cage with Wheels, 57 x 43 x 57 cm
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The PawHut Hamster Cage, model D51-431V00BK, is a plastic two-tier cage with the levels joined by a ramp, a food dish and a 125ml water bottle in the box, and four wheels at the bottom for moving it about. It sits ninth in this guide at £38.65, with 4.4 out of 5 from 89 ratings, while the listing's own Best Sellers Rank puts it 12th in Small Animal Cages — Amazon's count, not ours. PawHut sells it as suitable for dwarf hamsters, Syrian hamsters and gerbils, and it arrives requiring assembly.
Size is where this listing works hardest and says least. The headline measurement is 57 x 43 x 57cm and the base is given as 57L x 43W x 35Hcm, so the lower footprint is 57 by 43 cm; the copy calls the cage spacious and says the two levels give lots of room, but the listing never converts any of that into a floor area. Further up this guide the BUCATSTATE states roughly 0.5m2 outright from its 100 x 50 cm, whereas the base dimensions here multiply to about 0.245m2, before anything the ramp between the two levels takes up. Smaller numbers disagree too: the rating line says 89 ratings while the five bars in the same block add up to 100, and the specification lists a "Dog Breed Size: Small" on a hamster cage. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing for this cage; none of it comes from testing we have carried out.

Questions people ask
How big is the PawHut Hamster Cage D51-431V00BK?
The listing gives 57H x 57L x 43Wcm overall, with the base at 35H x 57L x 43Wcm. It does not state a floor area in square metres.
Is it suitable for a Syrian hamster?
The PawHut listing says it suits dwarf hamsters, Syrian hamsters and gerbils, and describes two levels connected by a ramp. No usable floor area is given, so the only size figures are the 57 by 43 cm base and the 57 cm height.
What comes in the box?
The listing's Included Components field names a food dish, a ramp and a water bottle, given as 125ml in the bullets. Assembly is required.
What is the bar spacing?
The specification field lists Gap Size as 0.8 Centimeters, and the bullets describe "0.8cm steel wire spacing" that keeps pets inside.
Does it open at the top and the front?
The bullets say there is a top and a front opening for reaching in. The specification's Special Features field lists only "Multi Level, Top Access".
Why do the ratings not match?
We can't say from the page. The PawHut listing's rating line reads 4.4 out of 5 from 89 ratings, while the five bars in the same block add up to 100. Both figures come from the same Amazon listing.
