Okay, My Syrian ham ( Teddie) lives in a 55 gallon tank, that connects to a critter nation cage, which is massive! Teddie prefers the tank, to nest in, and she has everything she really needs in the tank, although I connected tubes for her to travel to the cage, she really enjoys spending time in the cage, too.!

In her tank, I set up an sand area, which has a toilet that she uses. I also set up an sand area in the cage, and added a toilet, which I've not seen her use, up to a few days ago. The sand in the toilet in the cage was obviously used, so, she's going to the toilet in 2 areas. When she's in the cage, she is using the sand area that has the toilet set up for her, and when she's in the tank, she uses the sand area with the toilet.

I'm amazed, she's using both toilets, as I thought hamsters typically use 1 area to pee. Anyone else's ham do this? Is this normal? Just curious.. I'm really happy she is using both toilets.. And amazed, too!!
