But i would agree the minimum size should be around 40 gallons for a dwarf. So if you could upgrade that would be good. I find that sized tank too narrow really so you can’t set it up too well.

Also keep an eye on the wheel size - think it’s the 6.5” diameter one but dwarfs do better on an 8 inch one, so an upgrade is worth thinking about.

Edit - Should have added while he’s in this cage I’d fill the cage right up with bedding. At least 6-8 inches for a dwarf preferably more, so he can burrow.
Hey! I took your advice and I've put in more bedding for the time being. When I get the chance I'll definitely be upgrading his tank
