Default Not impressed with a change of scenery?

On Monday I changed the wheel in Snuggles's cage to his new 11" wodent wheel which he is using and had to remove one of the shelving units to do this...for the last 2 nights he has taken to putting his food pile in his toilet corner and hiding behind the WW in the corner grooming himself excessively every so often?

is he sulking because I have changed things around a bit too much or is it a territory thing? I havent cleaned him out I just moved stuff about and his bed is still in the same place...

should I put it back to how it was or just leave him to get used to it?

I recently changed around everything in my hams cage, and they got rather confused too. They started weeing where they stored food which didn't make mummy too happy! I ended up changing it back. Mine do love to cuddle up behind their silent spinner anyways though. And mine also groom excessively... but they always have done

You should try keep it at least a week, if there's no change and he seems unhappy, move it back and see what he does

I recently got a wodent wheel and Chewy keeps grooming himself in the corner behind it too. Maybe they just like being behind it
