This is another additional place I made for Littlebear.

Default Re: Additional place out of the bin

i like the ideas

few suggestions-

Id mesh the tops of the sleeping compartment and the bin, they can get stuffy

also not sure if it was from cleaning out but id add bedding and substrate but this may be you just showing the bin

If I recall there is no substrate because it is the height of summer in Hong Kong.

Although, would the hamsters still not enjoy burrowing/digging?

Looks good though.

I can't see bedding making the hamster any hotter? If anything I think they dig too keep cool?

They look great though, nice work.

Thanks.
Tubs? Do you mean the small boxes or the tubes?

There are some small holes on the boxes. So I don't worry about getting stuffy.

For the bedding, it is hot in HK now.So I didn't give many to him.

THANKS FOR YOUR EXPLANATION.
LB loves put all the paper in his blue house and none in other places.

I also think that they like digging. But it is very hot and wet in HK right now. It is not suitable to give many bedding.

If its hot and wet in summer do you have trouble with the ventilation? I know that with mine if anything I had to add more ventilation in just to make sure it was comfortable in a relatively rubbish and cold British summer.

YES,ventilation is important,esp in this damned weather.
Therefore, I open the fan/air conditioner everyday to keep the temp to be comfortable.

Have you tried giving him a ceramic mug or a plate to cool down on?
That way you can give him bedding but he can still be cool x
