The second-largest cage on our list, this beast has ample space to home your new pet, which is probably why they called it 'heaven'. The brightly-coloured design comes with plenty of accessories, including two food bowls, should you have a greedy little guy. 

The large size makes it perfect for both Syrian and Golden hamsters. The only flip side of the capacity being so substantial is that you're going to need to be able to fit it in your house, so consider where you'd place it before purchasing. 

If you have space, we're certain your furry little friend would love you for picking up this hut. It has organic glass windows on all levels that allow you to fully view them while they're playing, as well as a built-in drawer for easy cleaning. 

There are a few factors to ponder, though. Firstly, this is going to need some construction on arrival, although it shouldn't be too complicated. Secondly, this is a large cage, so great for larger hammies. 

While many covered cages can struggle with ventilation, Ferplast has intelligently tackled this by constructing this cage's roof with wired bars. This also makes it an easier and quicker entry point if you want to get inside when you're not cleaning. 

Speaking of cleaning, this should be nice and straightforward thanks to the easily detachable main parts. Nonetheless, without purchasing the additional parts to extend this cage, it could be considered a little small. 

This innovative, futuristic-looking home from Habitrail OVO has been designed especially to meet the needs of dwarf breeds. Surprisingly, the habitat is simple to assemble and therefore easy to clean. We also like that you can expand and grow the cage, keeping it interesting for your pet. 

It also comes with the essential extras to get you started. However, the tubes and tunnels will be too small for larger breeds, so you'll want to look elsewhere unless you do have a dwarf hamster – you have been warned! 

Finally, this simple hamster cage. Though it looks straight out of a year six classroom in the mid-90s, it's a classic for a reason. It has a robust wire structure and deep plastic bottom which can be detached to clean. Additionally, it comes with a home, a wheel, a water bottle, and a feeding bowl. 

However, we're not completely happy with the fact it only has a single floor, so it may be better as a temporary cage only. Plus, while it's wired so hammy can get some exercise, we think it may be better to plump for something a bit more interesting.
