That's a really helpful thing to note. I don't notice it but he does tend to sit in corners against sides where I assume looking back he's doing that! He also spends most of his time burrowing and has TONS of bedding so maybe has been trying to make all of that smell like him. I haven't been trying to clean as he does keep it very tidy but will definitely stick to that for a while then. Thanks so much for the reply.
