Default Re: Help! I think Rosies scared what do i do?

Good to hear they went for the seeds, I'm sure the banana or apple would work, I wouldn't put wet foods in a flower pot though as they are really absorbent & would need cleaning quite a lot.
How often you clean the cage depends to some extent on the size of the cage & the hams habits, I would think a whole cage clean every three weeks may be a bit much.
Do you know where she pees? If you can find anything that might help as the rest of the cage won't need cleaning so often, you could try a small sand tray close to the nest & see if she pees in there.
I prefer to do maybe a third or half of the cage only at any one time & if I clean the nest area I always put some of the old nest back & the same with the food stash.
Smaller cages generally need cleaning more often but it's still possible to just do partial cleans.
