Is a 20 Gallon tank good for one Syrian Hamster?

Question

Is it big enough? Will he be happy?

Answer 1

I have my hamster in a fish tank and he loves it, there is plenty of space for running around. Just make sure the tank has a Mesh wire lid for good ventilation.

Answer 2

NO TANK! there is not enough ventalation for the hammy and it can get a respitory infection(sry i cant spell that! lol) and possibly die! :( get a nice little cage! oh and just to be safe use carefresh bedding and never cedar or pine. the fumes will kill them! :( i know it sounds like im being negative but its all for the health of the hammy and the the thickness of your wallet! lol

good luck! ♥ ♥

Answer 3

i would say yes, if he gets a lot of attention/time outside of the cage. no, if he isn't cared for properly.
