Syrian male doesn't burrow
My boy, Chubbs, doesn't seem to enjoy or know how to make burrows. In his current 1000 sq inch aquarium set up he has a hide in a corner by the food and water, and some syrian-sized tubes and hides that run under the bedding. Instead of digging all the way under the 6-8 inches of bedding or using the tubes, he goes in the opposite corner behind his wheel and digs a "crater" and sleeps back there. The only time he ever actually dug in the bedding was a couple times he got scared and dug straight down to the bottom.
I'm not sure if this is because he's a pet-store hamster where they have hardly any bedding or if he just doesn't feel the need to because he knows he safe in his aquarium.

Re: Syrian male doesn't burrow
My rescues are like this. That being said, 2 of them have just realised that they can do that now and it's like the best thing ever. Give it some time and still Keep the bedding nice and deep. I half burried a tube to get them started. Totally ok don't panic

Re: Syrian male doesn't burrow
I've had my male Syrian since he was a baby and he has never burrowed. He likes to sit on top of shelves. They are all different and have their own personalities. I wouldn't worry.
