So, I’ve heard that providing a hamster with a _tonne_ of deep bedding for them to burrow in can reduce the amount of time they spend on their wheel. Is this true?

I can only provide my hamster about 5 or 6 inches of bedding at the moment, and his wheel is his best friend lol. But, he loves to dig, I just physically can’t give him enough bedding to do so in his current cage, which is why I’m thinking of upgrading to a tank or something.
