Default Re: My new Robo's - need advice on housing

It's hard to say without observing them but it sounds as though Pua is most likely preventing Hehe from using the larger area of the hamster heaven or some bullying has been going on & she is too nervous to go into the HH.
It is also just possible that Hehe is the more nervous of the two & is scared by the large space of the HH, it's not that big a cage really but if there is a lot of open space & not enough substrate then it can be an intimidating space for a nervous ham.
It would probably be best for both of them to just separate them now & give Hehe a better cage of her own with lots of substrate & hideouts (things like cardboard tubes, egg boxes, cork tubes or tunnels, coconuts all work well) & a good deep layer of substrate so she can settle in without feeling so nervous.
