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.
Sorry about that, it was pretty late when she popped out. I also saw your post in my searching for hamster thread: she is on Higgins Sunburst Gourmet Blend.

That's absolutely amazing, they're much smarter than I bargained for before getting one! Has your new Syrian stopped with the nipping yet? I'd love to see some pics or videos of your ham too, they're too fun!
