not the greatest idea in terms of hamsters health and the size but keep trying and thinking of other ideas

I disagree, the way the lego fits together means that the hamster has nothing to chew on, meaning there are no health hazards. It is plenty big enough for my Syrian hamster and it is not stressed as it would stay in there for hours if it could. When presented with the house it happily runs in, especially if food is scattered around.

but any loose bricks (legos usually come apart) will be a hasard to cutting your hamster or letting him ingest plastic

Hungyhipo, do you know anything about hamsters? I'm completely with the author here, this is fine for a hamster, what do you think other hamster cages (you know the ones with little tunnels and balls and things) are made of, magic?

My son built a Lego house for my daughter's hamster and the critter enjoyed it every day of his life. I worried a bit about chewing but when we'd wash the cage we'd check and there was never any evidence of chewing.

 The design of the house means that bricks cannot fall off or inside. And I personally challenge you to cut yourself with a lego brick (it's never going to happen). Also, hamsters don't ingest plastic when and if the chew on it, they spit it out.
