I wasn't saying it was ok, purely querying it
The NHC website, as far as I know, is really out of date. Cage sizes were a lot smaller three or four years ago, and I don't think the website has been updated to reflect that we know hamsters need a lot more space now. (According to the copyright on the bottom of the page, it hasn't been updated since 2009 )
