Hamster won't stop burrowing?
Hello everyone!
My hamster is a 9 week old Syrian called Hope. When I first got hope, I knew she was an avid burrower. I gave her 6 inches of sand to burrow in to begin with, and she dug in it all night.
Throughout her cage I have given her 6 inches. She has made many, many burrows and even when she is not creating new burrows, she is digging up her bedding, especially in the corners. This obviously isn't a problem to me, but is this a behaviour I should be worried about at all? I have given her plenty of toys, an 11 inch wheel, plenty of hiding homes.
She has also started to chew on the bars, which I am aware is often due to stress or a small cage, although I thought this cage I got her was big enough.
Is there something she's trying to tell me?
