Long hair Syrian issues

Thank you for all the info!! I absolutely adore the skirts! He is still hating my hand and won’t take any treats from my hand still- but I do have a tooth brush for grooming when Buddy allows. . I was able to carefully snip the long ‘dred’ as it was collecting More and More. I was hoping he would groom it out but maybe he is still trying to figure things out? I don’t know exactly.

Can you tell me more about the cardboard bedding? Is there good odor control with it? I was looking into wood or paper based pellets and also shredded paper- I hear tissue paper but is that like paper towels or napkins?
And yes an old school alarm clock style. I work nights so waking up around 1300 ish puts it right in the middle of his slumber. So far I’ve been safe from using it and on my days off I plan on setting it off the same time every day and slowly increasing the volume so he doesn’t poo him self. It’s pretty loud.
