Hamster Central - View Single Post - Does more bedding reduce the amount of time spent on a wheel?

I don’t think there’s a yes or no answer to that one, some hams love to dig & burrow & given the opportunity to do that with very deep bedding may spend more time underground, being under the substrate doesn't mean they’re not busy or active though, they can be very active under there! Some hams are less interested in digging/burrowing & may prefer to spend time on the wheel, out & about in the cage or having out of cage time, depends entirely on the ham.
