Re: scratching in corners
Chibi does something like this too. When I took out his wheel he got upset and would dig in the substrate and do his impression of a submarine popping his head up once in a while usually with a piece of food he found He would also scrape the walls and bottom of the bin all night until I put it back in a week later.

Re: scratching in corners
No its not a rotastax cage i think it might be a ferrplast cage. I thought moving them to a new cage is stressful to hamsters especially if they are young.

Re: scratching in corners
It can be stressful but there are ways to easily reduce the stress and it's much, much better for them in the long run
As she's just 7 weeks and you've only had her for just over a week I suggest waiting for three to four weeks before the change though which gives you plenty of time to get a good cage that you like. She'll most likely be a lot bigger then then too

Re: scratching in corners
We have a digging box for our Syrian which is attached by a tube to her ZooZone 2. She used to dig at the corners (even got through 3/4 of them!) but we assume it's just because she's always wanted to get out and go exploring rather than being stressed. She's stopped doing it now and still has the freedom to go from 'cage' to digging box and back again whenever she wants.
Just to add, though, after she dug the holes in the box, we took it away from her for a little while and when she got it back she started to block the tubes up but we think that was because it was cleaned out and re-arranged. She's not good with cage cleans. She's fine with it now though.
But I would have to agree that the cage your hamster is in at the moment does sound very small. Best of luck with the uprade (would love a pic of your hamster too!)
