A new cage for my hamster?

Question by K is for Katie: A new cage for my hamster?
Ok well, I have had my 6 month old teddy bear hamster for 3 months now, and when we bought him at paulmacs, it was almost 8:00 pm, and we wanted to get home, plus they didn’t have any cages we liked at the time, so we got a rat cage and took out the dangling rat treat holder and the ramps. It takes up a lot of space on my dresser, and I don’t think he needs a cage that big. So I’d really like to get a new one. I live in Ontario, and most of the google images that you get for “hamster cage” is in the UK. I have no intention in shipping somthing all the way here because of the expense and I am only 14. The closest pet stores are pet value {expensive}, and paulmacs. The closest petsmart, is 30 minutes away by car, so I can’t always get there. My mom agrees that we should get a new cage for him somtime since he’s pretty damn spoiled. and my mom and I both love him to death. I’v provided some links with pictures. Can you tell me if any of them are a good size for a male teddy bear hamster?

Should I get one with bars or somthing else?
Also, could you provide some canadian links to some pictures or store sites that could help me out?
I also considered a tank.

Try not to get a tank because it will keep the air inside, and smell like pee year round

My hamster passed about three weeks ago at about 4 yrs (wet tail…:( ) and my cage was habitrail. Teddy Bear hamsters just have long hair, so It would be better if there were no placed to get it caught. Habitrail is really good though, and if you can just go to petsmart once every two or three months, its fine. BUy one cage with plenty of toys to switch out every week or so to keep him entertained

btw i live in alberta so….ya
