Hi Megzo - not knowing the size of your cage, I don't have any recommendations other than changing out the saucer wheel for a 12 inch Silent Runner wheel. Also, you'll want to make sure the substrate is at least 6 inches or so deep for little Yuki to burrow and dig. One more thing - Syrians tend to do better with a one story than two. I don't know where you are located, but here in the US, a lof of us use aquariums. Mine is a 55 gallon long. (And it didn't start that big - I had a lot of learning to do!)

She sounds adorable and I can't wait to see pictures of her! Congrats and welcome to Hamster Central!
