Default Advice needed please

Hello everyone, I need some advice. I adopted a Dwarf Russian Hamster over a month ago. He is now about 6 months old and his name is Albert. To begin with Albert used one corner of his cage to pee but has now decided to stop doing that. Albert likes to dig his own burrow system bed, food storage and toilet. Albert gets very angry if go anywhere near his burrow system so I can't clean his toilet. To stop Albert getting stressed and angry I've only been cleaning out his wee/toilet once a week. I have to put Albert in his pet carrier to complete this task which Albert is happy with. Albert's pee/toilet doesn't smell. But I'm worried Albert might become ill because I'm only cleaning out his pee/toilet once a week.

Well maybe you should try spot cleaning while Albert goes out for floor time? Tho if you’re doing that make sure there’s someone watching Ahim. Or you can just quickly clean up while putting Albert in the carrier. Both of these works well with my past untamed WW Mia which is really hard to clean her cage due to the fact she almost bit me whenever I try to approach her “toilet”

Thank you for your reply. Albert is hand tame. He's just very protective of the nest part of his cage.
