Hamsters!
For months Henry has peed in his Rodipet corner toilets and he has two. A small one in his house and a big one in the corner opposite. So why has he changed his mind. Nothing i've done.
The small one in his house he now uses as a food store, the big one in the cage has been made redundant and the sand pit he now uses as his toilet! But why?
Is he preparing for the winter by hoarding even more food into his house? He has already insulated his house with walls of substrate and shovelled more substrate into his coconut outhouse. His coat is thicker too and the bald patches around his scent glands are disappearing.
I wouldn't call this house a cold one but instinct seems to be taking over and he's a hamster who likes his comforts.
