Default Re: Corner digging

It does look better and less open. 2 more might result in excessive bendy bridges haha but if you can then more different types of toys etc would be nice too.

The other thing I noticed is the house, not sure where his nests are but I can’t see a large house unless it’s buried somewhere. That kind of house on the left is too small - doesn’t allow them to create a large enough nest really. Same goes for nearly all store bought hamster huts but what you can do is use a shoe box with the base cut out to allow for burrowing, you can also lift the lid off easily to check inside. Fill it with plenty of bedding/tissue and it’ll likely turn into a burrow system, allowing him to exhibit more normal behaviours. Similarly Guinea pig sized houses will work. A lot of the time they do need a good sized house to feel secure.
