At least 3 to 4" of substrate - ideally more if they can dig tunnels. It may sound like a lot but you end up using less in the long run because with more substrate in to start with you only need to "spot clean" - weekly full cleanouts just stress hammies and arent really necessary - you can easily go a few weeks to a couple of months wihtout changing the substrate when it's deeper and even then you can re-use the clean half
Thanks for the advice! He loves all his cardboard boxes and especially tissue paper! The wheel he has in here is a lot quieter than the one in his rotastak so that’s a bonus! I definitely think spot cleaning will be more effective, especially since he only seems to “do his business” on his bedding so I can simply change that!
