Ha ha. Yes they are very good at building substrate mountains and rearranging the cage. That's a good sign as she clearly feels it's her home to rearrange. There is often some intelligent thought behind it as well. I find they can pile the substrate round the outside of a house in colder weather. Cleverly insulating their home. A mountain in a corner of a cage is to climb up so they can escape (this does happen! I've heard of a hamster climbing up their mountain to the top and pushing a detolf lid up enough they can climb out). Probably more syrians than dwarf hamsters. Some people have to weigh the lids down!

I couldn't see the videos unfortunately as they seemed a bit dark.
