Hey guy! I hope this video was helpful for you! Here I show you different size tanks and explain why they are good and bad for hamsters, mice, rats etc. Bigger is always Better. Feel free to leave questions and comments down below :) Thanks!
PS. Yes I know and yes I understand their are dwarf species and Syrians. HOWEVER for me personally I think of them as 3 diff size categories. I say robo for tiny, dwarf for all the medium dwarf sizes, and Syrian is the largest. This is just how I think of it. That's why I say robo, dwarf and Syrian- bc all dwarfs are not equal in size, my opinion. 💗 thanks

I recently got a hamster. They suggested those tiny critter trails and as soon as I got home and put the included home and stuff in it, I knew it was way too small. Can't believe they recommended it. I felt like I was torturing my hamster until I got a big bin for her.

Finally, a video that shows the comparison for each size. I had a 10 gallon tank and was considering getting gerbils, but with your visuals, you've shown me just how impossible it would be for them. Unfortunately I can't get any pets now, since you can't get tanks above 10 gallons in my town :( No pets for me.

The second floor are pointless really because it dosent add any space the hamster still has the same room just a different place to go so I would say to try and get a bigger one if you can’t I don’t think you should get a heater (if you don’t already have one) because it’s very cruel to make it that small

20gallons is actually an acceptable size for mice. I heard you mention it a few times, the ten gallon is the minimum size for three females or one male mouse. I found that as you've shown the ten gallon doesn't have the space for all the things I'd like to put in my mouse tank, but upgrading to a 20 gallon long is a choice and not a minimum cage size for mice.

I tried a bin cage but that didn't work out. I was hoping a 20 gallon would work. I don't know what to do. She is in a 10 gallon right now. Didn't know it was to small until I got her into it. I tried putting two habitat twist together for her but it is to narrow and she is getting to big for the tubes.

Although I have wanted a hermit crab for years, I didn’t want to get one from a pet store. Would it be okay to continue to use this tank for them? I’ve been watching the rest of your videos and learning about the substrate, variety of food, heat source, multiple water sources, and really appreciate all of your information. I am just nervous that using her current tank size would be too small for them/although this is what she has been using for a year or two.

CraftyPet Corner.... Welcome! Hey!! It depends on the size of the container but most likely yes! A 30 gallon sterilite container is approx 32Lx17H which is about 544sq.inches of floor space! That's the most important thing is room to run, and fit a proper wheel and bedding in terms of height! So if it is a 30gallon or larger it should be fine just has to have a minimum of 450sqin.

I actually think that the 450 square inch minumum is only suitable for dwarf hamsters. I have 4 dwarf hamsters and 1 syrian. I keep the dwarfs in bin cages and 55 gallon aquariums. One of the bin cage is about 640 square inches, and before I had my dwarf hamsters I had my syrian in a bin cage. My syrian attempted chewing out of it! I think Syrians deserve more, but that may just be me. Now my syrian is in a 1200 square inch diy enclosure😊

With enough enrichment in the bin, the 50 gallon/200 quart clear bin is large enough for a Syrian. With hamsters don't get cheap at the store and settle for less than the largest bin in stock. Unfortunately aquariums larger than the 40 gallon breeder are just too expensive considering pet stores sell hamsters for $30...

I didn’t know this, I have my hamster in a crittertrail . My dwarf hamster keeps biting on anything plastic and he bites when I put my hand in the cage. When he is out of the cage he doesn’t bite. I’m going to buy a 20 gallon or more tank soon because I know he is stressed. Will he stop chewing on his wheel and attacking me once I give him a better home?

I know a 10 gallon is too small but, the way you arrange things in makes the tank smaller.
