The tube he nests in is the large one he is sitting on in the first photo. It is about 30cms long. I think he went there because he was sleeping in a Pringles tube before. I will get my husband to cut off any smelly end if need be!
Luckily the big house has no floor and I now have a bendy bridge. I remember your cage tour and what you did for Charlie. He has been in downstairs and it would fit his litter tray.
I will have a go at the changes later and then I hope not to have to change things for a bit so he will settle down properly.

Congrats on your new addition, such a lovely colour!! It seems like he's going to keep you on your toes

I was a bit cheeky with Charlie's house - it was the only nesting option in the cage really so it had to be first choice lol.

Mocho is lovely! Congratulations on new hammies.

Thank you Ruby and Nienna. I put the wheel in last night and he was very cautious about the changes. I found his wee spot and it was not in his cardboard tube so I don't have to worry about that. I heard Jarvis is using his potty all of his own accord. It seems like the younger generation are quicker off the mark again!

Such a cutie

Glad he is using his new wheel! Charlie is using his too. He investigated it very carefully, had a little run and kept stopping to sniff the edges of the hole and to inspect the axle bar - think he has it sussed now.

How is little Mocho doing? Hope he is enjoying his wheel

What a gorgeous hammy. 8 weeks old? Is it my imagination or is he a really nice big hammy? I really love his coloring.

Update-Putting the wheel in his cage changed everything. He does not come out so early but is learning he will get a treat when he does. I have seen no bar chewing or climbing. I can gently scoop him up and handle him and let him run on me.. However if I put him in his play area he heads for the salt pig and settles down in it ignoring all the toys! Once I have put him back and the lights go out - then I hear the wheel!
Trying to be patient and take it at his pace. He has only been here 2 weeks.

Dr K - thank you, I think he is a lovely colour. The keeper of the 2 litters was his brother and was noticeably bigger even that age. I must get some scales and weigh him so I know how he is doing.
