Aww, I'm sure Gaby will forgive you even if you do happen to disturb her lovely nest. She certainly can't be upset at her loving mum for doing a bit of tidying up of her grand palace.

dreamtree1234 Gaby didn't seemed to have minded it after all!
IamKat Thankyou!

So I finally dumped in another 60liters of bedding into Gaby's Detolf yesterday night. Must have scooped out about 15-20 liters from the corners, the areas around her toilet, sand bath, food hoard and nest. Oh right, she uses a plastic house only as a food hoard, like the mother load, and carries only the essentials to bed. I was quite surprised when I discovered this yesterday. Almost like she knew it'd be easier for me to clean that way.
So now her cage cage has well over a 100 liters of bedding and about 6-7 inches depth throughout the cage. And boy was she excited to see that! All she's been doing all night and day is burrowing and burrowing and burrowing. Hahaha! I actually even managed to catch her on tape, burrowing along the glass wall, I will upload that video soon.
For now, here's my Queen's palace in all it's glory.

I have thoroughly enjoyed catching up with Gaby's thread - it was so sweet seeing her adorable face peering out amongst the substrate. Also appears like Gaby was more than happy to co-operate with your photoshoot and good to enjoy a selection of nuts and you managed to take some very beautiful photos of her. Gaby's cage looks lovely and very lovely to hear how she been thoroughly enjoying herself burrowing in the deep substrate.

I am not surprised that your darling was thrilled about you doing the cage cleaning after see saw her new setup, lol. Maybe she will be eager to have her cage cleaned from now on and anticipate all the changes you may make. Gaby's cage looks awesome - so spacious with lots of fun things to do and tons of substate to burrow through. It must have given you much joy to see how excited she was to burrow so many tunnels. I wish that we could see our hammies' impressive excavation designs through their eyes, lol. The video of Gaby burrowing along the side wall will be a very entertaining video; I really look forward to seeing it whenever you have a chance. It must be TOO cute!!!

Smile Re: Gaby's Thread

Thank you SKB_Hamsters, dreamtree1234 and Thin Lizzy. Indeed she has been thoroughly enjoying the new depth of substrate.

When I started to clean out her cage, I temporarily placed her in a Ferplast Mini Duna cage. I preferred her being in a closed area so that I wouldn't have to worry about her. She was quite alright inside it for about 5 minutes, explored the place, snuck into her house, explored the bendy bridges, burrowed a bit and ran on the wheel. And then, she threw a major hamtrum. She started chewing away furiously at the plastic clasps and pretty much everything related to the cage. Hooman! Let me out of here! This is so claustrophobic! AAAArrrrggghhh! Now hooman now! I don't want any treats or chews. Take me out of this prison!
Oh poor Gaby didn't like it one bit in there. I doubled up on my cleaning and got her out of the mini duna. Of course, the first thing she does is a quick nip for locking her in that teeny cage. But then a few cuddles later, she was happy. I made up to her by treating her with a two additional mealworms for the day and a few sunflower seeds.
Placing her back in her Detolf was rather comical, as she ran around the cage, trying to figure out what was different even though everything was in the same place.

Hmmm… something doesn't seem right here. My wheel is in the right place. SO is everything. Maybe if I stand tall from here, I might notice if my hooman changed something without me noticing

So the hooman has cleaned out my pee from my sand bath, but then he does that often. No this can't be it. I should check my food stash20180512_012321_001_01.jpg

Nope. That seems to be there as well. WHAT IS THIS SORCERY! My food is in place. My sand bath is in place. My wheel and nest is in place. I'm, confused.
20180512_012234_001_01.jpg

Let me check around my toilet. He knows I love borrowing beneath that. Something might be different there. Oooh. What is this weird gray thing doing here? He seems to think I like this because I was snacking inside it the other day. Has he hidden something for me behind it?
20180512_142859_021_01.jpg

No treats. Hmmm… But hey! Hang on. I was able to dig super deep. Aha! SO that's what you've been up to hooman. Thank you so much for this! You know how much I love to burrow. This is the best gift ever! Yay!!! Now I will burrow all day and night long!
20180512_142910_052_01.jpg

Aw Gaby. My smart, cute little girl. There's so many more gifts coming your way. You can and will be the most spoilt little hamster ever. <3

Lol, I love all the pics and commentary of HRH Gaby investigating all the possible changes to her cage setup and then realizing that all is clean and there is more substrate to burrow into. She is so funny and really, REALLY cute!!!
