My boyfriend has a syrian hamster and he gives him around 6-8 inches of bedding. He uses carefresh paper bedding, and it usually doesnt hold up well. I know hamsters tend to get discouraged whenever their burrows always fall, and it happens all the time! It makes me sad when his hamster is sad
I think he loves burrowing than most hamsters, he would rather burrow than use any hideouts or houses!
