Re: Sleeping under her wheel.
Hi Lei, congratulations on your new girl, Chinese hamsters are lovely. I would say that what she is doing (digging down and under things) is a natural thing for the Chinese, so I wouldn`t worry at all. They do tend to dig down and make lovely ball shaped nests sometimes. My female used to do this which is why I never liked messing around with her bed area because whenever I did lift off the tea box she made her home, there would be a lovely nest built so I would only remove some of the nesting and replace it with fresh and replace the box again!
If she actually uses the flying saucer to play on, I would just leave it in. But if she never uses it, or the wheel won`t turn because she`s tilted it or moved it, you could try giving her the silent spinner as well if the cage has space for both? If not, see if she is using the flying saucer and just take things from there.
The weather is extremely warm at the moment so she may want to nest in various places rather than her actual bed, so I would just leave her to do what she wants. x
