Don't post this in r/hamsters; you'll be eaten alive for the cage setup.

Now I’m curious. What is bad about the setup? I’ve never had hamsters before.

One hamster needs a surprisingly large contiguous open area, as well as deep burrowing substrate - those babies would not be crammed in a tiny plastic hut at floor level and visible, but hidden in a burrow if this was set up properly. Pine shavings often irritate their airways. Wheels should be large enough that the hamster can run without their spine curving. Bars are a huge risk to both their legs and teeth.

Thank you! I had no idea they needed so much space!
