Eat the hamster. Problem solved.
i dont understand your question.... but it depends how many hamsters you have .. for now keep them in that cage its fine and when you save money later you can buy a bigger one
I'm sure hamsters aren't picky.
I don't think its too small. I kept mine in that exact same one. Just keep it in there until you have the money to get a bigger cage. No one is going to think differently of you if you don't have the money to buy your hamster a mansion.
I have a big hamster cage that I don't need anymore. You can have it.
That is a REALLY small cage. Completely unsuitable for a Syrian hamster. However if you're tight on cash and need a bigger cage a bin cage is the way to go. You can buy a big plastic bin at target or wal mart for $5 and your hamster will be much happier in that than in a tiny wire cage. Its also fun to customize a cage. One thing you'll have to invest in is a wheel. If your hamster is a Syrian a 6" wheel really won't cut it. I would recommend an 8" wheel. The best 8" wheel I've found is by the brand Wodent Wheel. Pets Mart sometimes carries them in the stores and definitely online.
Hope this helps
Here's a couple different links to a more detailed description on how to make a bin cage:

There's a few different suggestions on how to make a bin cage. It does take a bit of time (probably a few hours) to make, but it is cheaper than buying a cage and your hamster will be SO much happier with more space.
I assume you know this but just in case: make sure you change his food and water every day and play with him about 30 min a day to keep him happy and sociable. Make sure he has a wheel and house to sleep in during the day. Also make sure he has some wooden hamster toys to keep his teeth from getting to long.

Good luck with your hamster cage and I hope this is what you were looking for :)
