Hi all, been a while since posted but recently picked up a new Syrian from a pet store who we fell in love with.

She has two cages (we have had 9 syrians now and always had 2 cages connected so loads of room to run about in etc, smaller cage is a sleepy one with water and food and bedding etc and other is quite big for climbing and running about etc) anyway she been fine with the 4/5 days we had her, happily using both cages and running between the 2 etc.

I woke up this morning to find she had pretty much stuffed the entire sawdust from the small cage into the connecting tube, thus completely blocking it off. I emptied it and she just started digging it all back in again.

I know hamsters like to dig but why would she be purposely stuffing it up her tube?
