Just attempted spot cleaning Fluffy's cage for the first time and it ended really badly. Fluffy is about 8 weeks russian dwarf hamster. When I removed the level in his cage I noticed he has made lots of little tunnels in the bedding. It did not look dirty and I could not tell where fluffy is going for the bathroom. Fluffy got really upset I moved the level. I have only had fluffy one week. I tried putting a tunnel in front of Fluffy so I could put him in his carrier and he started squeaking. I got really upset and decided not to clean and just put the level back which was really difficult as fluffy was running around under the tunnels where the platform goes. I have a 100cm by 50cm cage, how much longer can I go without cleaning? And how can I make cleaning less traumatic for a timid hamster?
