It's such an interesting journey to find out what your hamster likes and then adjust their home to their preferences.
One of mine doesn't burrow but likes to be above ground. Took me a while to figure out but its so rewarding when i find him sitting on the highest shelf like i did this morning.
This particular shelf leads to a suspended wicker tunnel and suspension bridge right across his cage. He can get on and off on either side.
I never took anything out without replacing it with something else while i tried to work out what he wanted. Once i got it so very wrong and boy, did he let me know!

Thanks for the egg box idea, now there are so many options for me to try out with her! Yes, it's so interesting to learn about their preferences. I have another Robo and I made her a swing out of cardboard and paper rope, as well as a plastic hammock but she didn't really use them and after several days, nibbled the ropes till they broke. So I removed them.
I think Kimi might like them though, I sure hope so. Like you said, it is so rewarding when you manage to give them something they really like.
