20 gallon tanks are now completely out of the question in the US.We now have a minimum of 450 square inches,which isn't one specific size,but personally for a tank I would suggest a 40 gallon.This might be a bit of a late post,but it really is important to make sure members across the world do know that sizes have changed and it is very important to also keep in mind that the UK minimum and the US minimum are still very different while the 40 gallon breeder is just a tiny bit over the UK minimum and honestly hamsters do far better with the UK minimum than the US minimum.
