Hamster Cages

So I wanted to talk to you guys about hamster cages. Many people think that pet store cages are perfectly fine for hamsters but sadly, they aren't. One of the bad types of cages are the Crittertrail cages with the fancy tubes and all that stuff. They are obviously too small for a hamster, even for small dwarf hamsters, unless you connect 4 of those cages together. The minimum area of the floorspace for the cage should be 360 sq in. And if possible, you can put your hamster in an even bigger cage which is absolutely wonderful. Also, all of the other pet store cages are also still too small so you can go to the fish section and buy a 20 gallon and keep your hamster in it! Or, you can make a DIY cage! The pictures below are some good examples of hamster cages (they are not my photos):
