Yes was going to say an hours clean per hamster heaven does sound like a lot. Honestly with a robo in each you shouldn’t have to clean each one out any more than every 8 weeks, 6 weeks minimum. They really are clean animals and that is if you do regular spot cleaning. Helps if you find where the pee areas are as they often do just stick to one area.

Are you filling each cage up to the top? Basically up to the bars. If you are then you can do the infrequent clean outs. If you’re only using an inch or two then that might be why you’re cleaning out more. Using more bedding means you can go longer between cleans and allows them to burrow so make sure you’re doing that.
