Cleaning schedule

[Hammy Chum]

Hi again! I’ve seen mixed opinions on this so I’m a bit worried..is it normal to be able to smell urine and just general “hamster smell” when near the cage? My boyfriend doesn’t notice it and I have an abnormally strong sense of smell, but of course I’m worrying lol. He’s created a new burrow since I cleaned his last one, and I was planning on doing another burrow clean next week, which will be 3wks after the last one

If it helps (re only cleaning Chumley every 3 months or so) we cant smell anything at all, even when removing the deep bedding there's only a faint smell. I assune he must pee in there although he's such a fastitiously clean boy it wouldnt suprise me if he didnt haha. He does go in his sandbath. He doesnt even like scatter feeding (is he the only hamster who doesnt!) - he gets hugely irritated about having to go and put it all in his food bowl Where It Should Be for later.
