Just saw your vid Luna. I see that the hammies running around are Syrians. So does that mean dwarfs need the same amount of space as Syrians do?

And by cage being too high...does that mean a hamster could climb the cage to the top and cling there for awhile before falling down? I'm not sure I'm following you on why cage height is an issue.

And just out of curiousity. Great enclosure you have there! But how in the world do you manage with the cleaning? As a beginner/novice, every info I gathered suggested a weekly clean...to which I'm already slacking 6 weeks in by doing a deep clean every 10 days.

If the hammy was potty trained and relatively neat, I think I could get away without a deep clean for 2~3 weeks (our Syrian pees only in litter sand and poops only in her nest or inside the darkness of a cardboard box...and no where else!! She has spoiled us silly!!). But what if the hammy pees wherever he likes, also at the places that are the least accessible by us?

I'm just wishing cleaning could be less frequent and was a less daunting task.
