Question
How much bigger do teddy bear hamsters get then fancy hamsters? And if they do... can they fit through a tube??? Thanks! Please Reply! Jenna

Answer
Hi Jenna,

    A teddy Bears average size is 4-5 inches long. A fancy hamsters is about 6 inches long.
    As long as your hamster isn't too fat, they can fit through tubes. It is always best to watch your hamsters closely when having the cages with tubes. Sometimes they will block up the tubes and not be able to get out. If a hamster does block up the tube, it is best to unblock it as soon as possible.
    If you have anymore questions, please write again.
