I'm very sorry to hear of Winnie's passing.

All our dwarfs incl the Robo live in Hamster Heavens. You could increase the substrate depth by attaching cardboard or boredom breaker mats to stop it from spilling out.

Do you think a larger cage would encourage Layla to burrow and that it would enrich her life?
Is that the reason you are thinking of moving her or is it because a lot of people say the bigger a cage the better? A view i personally don't agree with.

Our dwarf Betsy sounds very similar to Layla. She spends a lot of time on her wheels, Silent Runner and flying saucer, she sleeps in her wooden house or ceramic hide and hasn't shown much interest in burrowing. She likes her enclosed sandbath and climbs out of her HH when she wants to free roam but doesn't stay out for long.
She seems happy and for that reason i've never considered moving her into a bigger cage.
