Those cages trigger any hamster owner on the internet into rages accusing the owner of sociopathic malicious intent to torture an animal. One of the quickest ways I've seen people bullied on groups and forums for animal care is innocently posting a photo of a new friend in a Habitrail.
To be fair, I think "the best" care would consist of square footage dedicated to an enclosure and the most extreme owners will have ikea cupboards renovated into spaces. These are really shitty pets and I don't think one fully grasps how shitty they are until you fuck with them as an adult. The ROI is just not worth it.
For a fun fact: a lot of them are born so inbred they suffer genetic defects and somehow suffer further retardation on top of just... being a hamster with the brain the size of a pea. Syrians with especially flat faces vs the more rodent snout have poor temperaments and are very hard to train to be friendly to hands. They're also more likely to have shorter life spans.
