but also in the corner she removed most substrate hahah xD but yearh... thinking about moving it tho

lets see if this works moved the house and the substrate at the waterbottle is low and in the house too. tho i gave her a big dig area if this doesnt work i will hang the water bottle tho.
i love the sound when they are sniffing ooh... and all the sand on one picture i removed too holy moly there was alot... like half the bowl we put in there.... xD
oooh and btw
how did she transport the sand from one end to the other? no sand at all on the way to the other side.... not even under the sand bath

No clue how she transported the sand! What is your cage? Hamsters are cute little fluff balls that makes us wander about everything

That is one busy hamster. You could also scatter feed. Then she wouldn't have a food bowl to dig under.

how do you scatter feed?

[cypher]

You can literally scatter food around on the substrate emma & let her dig around for it or you can find things to hide it in like cardboard tubes or boxes or in her sputnik.
If she's been used to a bowl it's best to keep giving some of her food in the bowl until she gets used to the change though.

but how do you then know if she finds the food?

[cypher]

It's not easy if you do just scatter the food on the substrate as some may just fall through to the bottom of the cage, with new hams I always give some in a bowl & begin by hiding the food in places where I can check to see how much they've eaten, personally I don't recommend scatter feeding straight away with a new ham.
If you can find some fun things to hide some of her food in though that would be fine.
