Beautiful Hammie!

If I wanted to change the 'theme' of my hammies cage, I always used to change one thing out at a time. I'd like to be able to keep their scent in the cage on something throughout the whole process so they still felt comfortable.

I was the same as you when it came to liking the idea of scatter feeding but I was always too worried they wouldn't find it and wouldn't be eating enough. I used to put majority of their portion for the day in the bowl and then scatter the rest around their 'eating area' for them to find.
