Thanks Ria. She never sleeps in the tubes or pees in them but only uses them as a means of getting about or for hiding her stash. She doesn’t spend much time in the tubes really.

She is in a hamster heaven and has a huge guinea-pig house but she never sleeps in it and fills it with substrate instead. She sleeps in a nest that she’s build under one of the ledges. So I think she puts her food in there because of this, though she does keep a small stash of food hidden in her nest too.

So if she isn’t peeing on the food then you don’t think it’s a problem to leave it there for weeks or months? I have been gradually removing some of it but am loathe to take it all.
