As the title!

I brought home a beautiful little unnamed dwarf girl yesterday. I'd only owned syrians before, under the impression that dwarves were nippy and tricky to handle, but I'm friendly with the assistant manager at our local Jollyes who loves dwarves, and said this little female was one of the friendliest they'd had and she really is!

She's in a ZZ2, with 2 hides, some bendy bridges, tunnels and a 6.5 silent spinner. Is that a proper-sized wheel for (what I assume is) a hybrid dwarf? She's on the generic Jollyes hamster museli currently, but I'd wanted to swap her onto something more suitable/dwarf-friendly? She seems to love burrowing for more than my syrians did, so I'll be making a super deep digging area, but are there any other toy recommendations/things to be aware of/tips for dwarf owners I should be aware of?

Thanks!
