It is. Just seen the other photo with the hammy on! He is so gorgeous. Still looks like a baby as well.

My concern would be about his wheel area - initially. I'd suggest moving the steps to where the branch is (right next the wheel) and moving the bendy bridge and branch somewhere else in the cage - just for now. And maybe having something like a hemp mat on the shelf.

Basically so that area round the wheel is clear and only soft landings on the substrate past the shelf or the hemp mat (so the edges of the platform aren't hard).

Because he will fly off his wheel at first! So there's nothing hard he can hit as he flies off. Until he gets used to it - which might take a couple of weeks.

I know it would mess up your lovely set up a bit - but you could put the items back where they were once he's experienced in wheeling and doesn't fly off!
