Have fun with your super cute hammie!

The bedding is about 6 inches deep - the only place where it's not filled to the top is where the wheel is, since it won't fit otherwise. I'll definitely try that with his hideout, though! Cleaning would be a nightmare, but I can imagine he'd have a blast digging through lol.
With the food bowl, I generally put about 1/2 scattered around his cage and 1/2 in his food bowl, just in case he should have any trouble finding the food around his cage lol. Some days I won't use the food bowl at all, and I'll just use one of those cardboard treat parcel things.
