For the last few days I've rarley seen my hamster out of his bed, even quite late at night. I decided to check if he was okay yesterday and he seem to be fine. I decided to spot clean his cage as it was a bit dirty but didn't have time to clean out the whole thing that night so just gave him new substrate and bedding for where he sleeps. He has a DIY level in his cage just to make things more interesting for him but I was worried he wasn't coming out because he couldn't get to his level so I decided to take it out and because of this his food and water are now on the ground level. I left him and then went to bed once I had sorted everything and given him a new bendy bridge as somewhere to sleep and he seemed to be enjoying looking around his new layout for his cage. Then I went down to see him this morning and everything was everywhere. He'd managed to move his wheel so it was nearly falling over, his food was covered in substrate and he couldn't get to his water because he'd shoved all of his substrate under it meaning that was now wet. I was wondering what I could do to stop this or at least make it so he cannot get water or food all over the place. I'm making him a bin cage at the weekend which should be good for him but with things all on one level I'm worried the same will happen? Any advice would be helpful.
Thank you!
