Can only speak from personal experience of course but Herbie absolutely loves his tubes. He has never nested in them or anything though. He did stuff them with sawdust when we first got him though! Very industrious, he was...

Aww, I am glad he finally used his wheel, I had the same with my Woody. All 6 previous hamsters I had used the wheel straight away but he did not for days, instead he was just climbing like a mad man. People advised me here to get a bigger wheel and that did the trick eventually. I think it was similar to what was mentioned before here, that he was overwhelmed as the pet shop cages are appalling size-wise and back tehn did not have any "entertainment" in there.

Mayeb out a picture up?
