This is our first hamster Charlie climbing out of his sputnik. It was the way he liked to get in and out of the cage. Putting some bedding in it makes it less large.
But basically it's easier to just ignore all the plastic tubes and shelves that come with the cage! And start with an empty cage. Everything I learned, I learned on here! Plus some trial and error.
