it was good of you to take them in. i have three fire bellied toads in a 10 gallon tank with lots of plants and a large waterdish, you could do this or have a semi-aquatic set up with a few inches of water and a lot of rocks. i use the waterdish in a mostly terrestrial set up because i very rarely see them in the water dish, they are very hardy pets and will thrive if taken care of properly. the hampster cage should work as long as it doesn't have any cracks, water tends to build up on the bottom, i don't know why. a 10 gallon will work for the newt, heres a pic of my newts set up:
