Hi all,
Just thought I'd give you a little update, Thor seems to be settling in much better, we put in one of those edible just sized for a rabbit (I think it's a boredom breaker one) he absolutely loved it, had to change it out today as he had weed all in it and I worried about it going funny...
My partner made a box for him which has a shelter and covered area.

My only concern now is he always seems to be trying to get out, he climbs on top of the huts and just tries to push open the door (the cage isn't the detolf but a similar wooden framed cabinet, we took out the glass panel and put meshing in so we didn't have to make a lid). It's too heavy for him to lift but whenever he's out and about he's just scrabbling at the glass sides to get out all the time. We have a ball for him and let him out at least once every other day, more where possible. I'm thinking it might be quite common for hammies to want to escape but thought I'd check anyway

Thankyou for the advice though!
