I’ll answer all of your questions the best I can.

I spot clean her cage at least once a week or once every two weeks. The moment the cage starts to stink, it needs to be clean. I rarely ever full clean unless it’s a last resort. I try to leave the hoard alone but it becomes inevitable at times to keep the cage odor free.

She has a 12” Silent Runner wheel.

She had plenty of hideouts and toys but I took them out because she was using them as tools for escape. Now she’s climbing on the wheel to chew at the mesh at the top.

She is semi potty trained. She pees in her sand bath but she also pees in her nest hence why it’s sometimes cleaned.

She’s been in her new cage for about a month.
