I'm mean! I give Charlie a very big house and no other options to nest in! And tempt him into it by putting a tunnel over the front. Then he nests where I want (famous last words).

I think nesting in the penthouse could end up being a stinky mess. Sometimes they block up the tubes as well (as they usually block up the entrance to any house), but I think some people manage with a hammies nest in the Penthouse.

I think it might be better to take it off really. Paper nesting material doesn't collapse as easily as hemp substrate (sorry if I misunderstood that).

Maybe if you remove the penthouse and block the tubes off, and then put a big pile of torn up white toilet paper somewhere in the cage, he will just make a new nest that won't have a landslide lol. Or you could take one of the shelves out of the hamster heaven and put a large flat roofed house in and that would make a shelf and a nesting box.
