Hi guys.

Posting a lot again since my new Russian dwarf was adopted into our family - very new to other species beside Syrians so need all the help I can get from people that have on hands experience. I've only been able to read up on them for all these years and never had the on hands experience myself.

I posted before how I hardly see him, but now it's been literally 2 days I haven't seen him once. He was in his hidey for like the first 2 days and now he's moved to behind his wheel burrowed under to the right hand side and he hasn't looked like he's moved at all. He has water (in a bowl so the water isn't getting stuck etc.), food, ceramic hide in there so if he's hot he can sit on it and cool down... He has enrichment such as bridges, toilet tubes, a ball with a treat in it, hanging food treat, a wheel, a sand bath, two different substrates for different texture, an alligator whimzee type dog chew (which is safe, just a different brand), play n' climb, wooden chews etc. and a wooden tipi style hide but he hasn't touched anything...

I haven't even seen him on the wheel - only for like a split second and it looks like he has trouble with it so planning to invest into a flying saucer asap in case he's having a bit of trouble. (he's only 6 weeks).

I've only caught him the odd few times in his sand bath and that's it but it's been 2 days now since I haven't seen him once. He is moving, I made sure to see if I could use a gentle piece of cardboard to gently move some substrate near him and he did move... but it's super bizarre!
