Do you have enough overhead cover for him? Free standing platforms, houses, hides and a runway on stilts etc are good in a glass cage. Hamsters seem to like to tunnel underneath things.

Could you post a photo of his set up please?
Hi! Sorry that it took SO LONG for me to answer. We had to change our wifi provider and they took a really long time to switch everything and then I just forgot

We did have a few hideouts in the Detolf, but after I read your reply I did add 2 or 3 more, and as soon as I did this, he started burrowing under the biggest one, which sat in the middle of the cage. We've moved things around in the meantime (I built him a Hobbit house with an open back, where he can just dig, and he loves it there), and things are doing much better with him! Thank you for the tip!
