Default Re: New Hamster...3 days in...when and how to clean?

Thanks both for coming back to me and the guidance.

Not sure if you can attach from Google Drive images, but have attempted to below: *turns out it didnt like them added as images, so have just pasted the links in*

Setup (Above):

Just after he was added:

Sandpit/Tube End (see how the tube he went in first is now blocked)

Maze End

Yesterday my wife (before I posted) looked into the Maze house to see what has happening:

As you can see, I had put the potty dish where Serendipity has since suggested he'd likely build a nest (so it seems maybe a nest is being built on top of the potty dish!

Do you think I should remove the tube that is blocked (as suggested)? Do you think that I should lift out the potty dish, move the nesting material back into the compartment it was in, and then put the dish in the central back chamber, or just leave it for now (and maybe buy another potty dish....they're only cheap afterall).

One other noticed behaviour, he likes sitting in the sand dish digging about under the house at the shelf end, and chewing on the Hemp mat I'd used to line the cage sides to stop bedding being pushed out at that end...bets laid plans!

Thanks for any further help/guidance you guys can offer, and hope the pictures help to understand the setup.

One last one, of 'Hoover' himself!
