So I went to petsmart today, and they were having an awesome sale! 20 gallon long tank, (which is huge) cost $30! And a 20 gallon tank was 15 dollars! AGHH I NEED TO VISIT AGAIN SOON! And it improved the hamster cages a lot! They now have comfort wheels instead of wire mesh wheels in every cage, except for a couple. they have about an inch of bedding, they used to have just enough to cover the floor. And they all have hidey houses! YAY!

I wish my PetSmart would upgrade to solid wheels   The long tanks seems like a pretty good deal  , how many sq inches is it?

Great job upgrading your hamster cages! The only thing I would say is that you could maybe put a bit more bedding in their cages (maybe have 3 in. of bedding in there?). Most hamsters really love to burrow! Enjoy your new cages!

I think you misread it. She said that she is happy that PetSmart upgraded to Comfort Wheels, more bedding, and hideys, not anything about her own housing for her hamster(s)

A 20 gallon long is exactly 360 square inches. Its the bare minimum so you should still try to go bigger if at all possible

Interesting? I've heard that long tanks are actually pretty big. I have a 35 gallon long tank anyways.

I think that there's a difference between long and tank. A 20 gallon long, is much larger than a twenty gallon high...I thinnk?

The 20 long is longer and less tall, they hold the same amount of gallons but they are different shapes.

Wow, I wish my Petsmart would upgrade their wheels to solid ones, they're all mesh :( But luckily they do have plenty of bedding and all have hidey houses. At least the rats have proper comfort wheels that are plenty big!
