The house should also be level with the substrate, bottomless and placed in an area with deep bedding. The lid must be untreated (varnishing or waterproofing will drastically limit the breathability, thus creating problems with condensation build up) and easily removable to give you access to the toilet & food chambers without having to lift up the house itself to cause minimal disturbance to the nest. I take pride in my bins and I will never make one thats too small for any animal. Because although I breed, my bins are always available and I enjoy making them. (My 1 goal) My next goal is to have a shop that I build cages in. The house must be made out of a breathable material, such as poplar plywood or cardboard. My main goal is to be seen and respected as a reputable ethical Syrian hamster breeder. These minimums are just to give the animal enough space to keep their food, toilet and nest separately. Remember: a minimum is just a guideline to draw a line at what is considered acceptable, it is not restrictive and you can absolutely go bigger than this if you wish. The minimum house size for all dwarf species is 30cm x 20cm. Hamsters are very clean animals and just as you would not want to sleep and eat your dinner in your bathroom, your hamster does not want to either and so they should be provided with an appropriately sized hide to demonstrate natural nesting habits. It is for this reason that when considering what hide to provide your hamster with, it is important that you take the size into consideration.
