Rank #7 in Best Hamster Cage 2026: 10 Ranked by Real Floor Space
PawHut 2-Tier Hamster Cage with Wheel, 74 x 46 x 32 cm
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
PawHut's two-tier cage sits at number 7 in this guide, and at £41.64 it is one of the cheaper cages in the set. The listing gives its size as 32cm high, 74cm long and 46cm wide, with a front door of 13.5cm by 37cm. That base works out at roughly 0.34 m², a conversion PawHut never makes itself — the same listing that supplies the dimensions also supplies a 'Dog Breed Size' row, filled in as 'Small'.
The rating line is where the arithmetic stops adding up. PawHut carries 4.4 out of 5 from 126 ratings, but the star breakdown underneath totals 100: 70 five-star, 14 four-star, 7 three-star, 3 two-star and 6 one-star. Both figures sit in the same listing. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon product data and the reviews left there — we have not measured, assembled or tested this cage ourselves.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Wish I found this hamster cage first before all the other ones we acquired for the hamster (about 6 other ones).You need to measure your gap where you will be putting this as it is rather large, luckily for us it fitted our gap as we forgot to measure firstly.There's absolutely loads of space for the hamster to run around in. 2 entrance grilles, comes with all your hamsters needs and requirements to have a very happy life.I can absolutely recommend this cage.”
Verified purchase“Fantastic cage! My robo hamster loves it. It gives him lots of room and is sturdy. He loves the little house that comes with this cage. This cage is easily accessible from side and top opening. In my opinion this seems like the best cage on the internet for this price”
