I got a new hamster, Freddy, the other day, and the cage he had at his old owner's house wasn't the best (to put it nicely). He had no hideout, which I think is the reason why he won't use the one I bought him. He just sleeps in the bedding behind his wheel, like he did in his old cage. I'm just wondering if this is a bad thing, and if I should be encouraging him to sleep in his hideout? Or should I just leave him be? Thank you in advance
Just as a quick note - his hideout is big enough for him, and has some lovely bedding in there as well should he want to use it.
