I have dug around a bit in the corners and usually there is just stored food there. He has 3 preferred sleep areas, so I assumed he wouldn't go there.

Any suggestions on establishing a toilet tray?
Ah, okay. Dwarves typically most often will wee on their wheel. I have 2 dwarves, and an robo currently, my dwarves do not use their toilet tray. It’s not impossible to train them to use toilet trays, although not as easy as Syrians. Once you establish where your furbaby is going wee, place the toilet tray on the spot he’s wee’n, add soiled substrate in the toilet tray. Or can mix substrate with bathing sand, and gradually, transition to all sand, which is easy to scoop out the clumps of wee.
Do you have an sand area for your hamster?
