- Required wheel diameter — Required
- Desired bedding depth — Required
Hamster cage minimum dimensions
Enter the measurements above to calculate hamster cage minimum dimensions.
How the calculation works
V12 calculation: minimumSide=max(sqrt(targetFloorArea),wheelDiameter); minimumFootprintWidth=minimumSide; minimumFootprintLength=max(minimumSide,targetFloorArea/minimumSide); minimumInternalHeight=beddingDepth+wheelDiameter. This is the implementation specification for this calculator.
Worked example
Example: Chosen minimum uninterrupted floor area = 0.45 m²; Required wheel diameter = 65 cm; Desired bedding depth = 60 cm. Result: Minimum Internal Height = 125 cm; Minimum Footprint Length = 67.08 cm; Minimum Footprint Width = 67.08 cm; Minimum Side = 0.67.
