The RSPCA states syrian hamster cages should be no smaller than 75 x 40 x 40 cm, and dwarf hamster cages to be just under this size; unfortunately many pet stores still sell tiny, unsuitable hamster cages less than half the suitable size and do not advise new pet owners against the purchase of them. Let's stop this now. Pass this petition on to your local pet shops and encourage friends and family to sign too, don't forget you can remain anonymous! I
We want a set size for hamster cages which can be sanctioned if they break the limits. We want a ban on cages deemed as cruel or not in the best interests of an animal and we want to see pet shops giving out the correct information on Hamster cages.

its honestly cruel. pet shops just want the money and dont care about the poor animals health at all.
THESE CAGES ARE LITERALLY PRISONS. STOP SELLING THEM TO PEOPLE WHO DONT KNOW ANY BETTER!!!
my hamster spends all night chewing the bars because his cage is way too small. it makes me so sad to watch.
needs to be illegal to market those tiny plastic boxes as homes for hamsters. way too small.
i bought one of these when i was a kid because it looked cool and i regret it so much. felt terrible once i learned the truth.
They sell them because they're fun looking cages to children :/
