Default Teddy's Thread(y)

Hello all! I introduced him in the Introductions forum, but I wanted to introduce my little Syrian here as well. His name is Teddy and in the attached picture he is serving his finest "Blue Steel" look.

We got him for our nine-year-old son for his birthday and we are loving him so much. He is as sweet as can be, playful and silly. He was tame after one week and lets each of us handle him. The only one who is NOT happy about Teddy is our dog, Scout. She likes to bark at his cage.

I want to make sure we are doing everything right, so I have a few questions if you don't mind me asking:

1. He is in a 20 gallon long aquarium. Is that large enough? He seems to be happy in there with his wheel and bridges.
2. How long should we allocate for "out of cage time?" We have been playing with him out of the cage (mainly in the empty bathtub with a towel on the bottom and lots of toys) for 30-60 minutes each night.
3. Are there any other fun activities you can recommend?

Thank you all so much and I am thrilled to be a part of this forum!
