Congratulations. Hope Xuli settles in well. A sand bath is enjoyed by most dwarf hamsters. You may also find it gets used for peeing in. Chinchilla sand is best for the sand bath.

Fitch substrate is good and can be ordered from the Fitch website. Unscented toilet paper is good for the hamster to have to use for it’s nest/bed.

If your hamster hasn’t come from a breeder, it is likely a hybrid dwarf hamster and they are able to get diabetes, so any food or treats should be sugar free.

Burgess dwarf hamster food is good. You can also give seeds and nuts like, linseed, flax, pumpkin, almond, hazelnuts. I get small packs from the supermarket. Sometimes the are near the baking isle or with the fruit and veg.

Most dwarf hamsters like eating dried mealworms.

Whimzee dog chews are ok for hamsters. They help keep the hamsters teeth from getting too long.

If you have a look at the Let’s see your cages thread. You can see some Barney cage setups. You may need to adjust how the cage is setup once you see how your hamster uses the level etc.
