Default Re: Hamster heaven cage

I did a big long post earlier and lost it! Short version. If she hasn’t had two weeks to settle in then give her two weeks then tweak things. I bet she is using the wheel at night but hiding away more until she’s settled. Try putting a bit of substrate on top of the wheel and see if it’s gone in the morning.

After two weeks suggest:

1) Remove penthouse and tubes abd the shelf with holes in abd the pod house on the solid shelf.
2) Add a large house at floor level sat on top of the substrate (eg Ferplast sin guinea pig house or a shoebox house)
3) Add 28cm trixie wheel

That should allow her normal behaviours - to bury hoards under her nest in the substrate which also improves hygiene and less need to clean her out too often.
