Hello! My Syrian hamster hasn't burrowed since we got him. He has more than enough bedding (about 7-8" , I tried adding a few more inches and he still didn't burrow, so I brought it back down to 7-8")
I am not really worried, just kind of curious. He has only dug tiny holes while he is looking for food, unlike my robo who goes full blown bulldozer on her bedding.
If anyone could give their opinion on why he is not burrowing, that would be appreciated. Also, are there any tricks besides hiding food that encourages burrowing?
