Hi everyone! I haven’t been on here in quite some time but Yolandi is still doing perfectly fine. I’ve made a lot of progress with her over the summer!! She has let me pick her up, I’ve gotten her free roaming and she’s comfortable being in my lap and coming to my hands, and she seems to be acclimating well.
My concern right now is about cage cleaning. I haven’t yet done anything more than spot cleaning and I’ve owned her for almost two months now. Also, in the last week or so, I can’t find out where she’s been using the bathroom. I’m worried that she’s doing so in her burrow and I don’t wanna ruin her burrow. I really don’t know what I should be doing about this.
Otherwise, I have been adding more to her cage such as clutter and things, and she seems a lot happier! While she used to climb on the vents in the back of her cage and chew them, she hasn’t done that at all and she doesn’t seem stressed in the slightest. I am still going to be upgrading her cage, but for now, I think she is okay.
If anyone has any suggestions for deep cleaning and stuff without stressing my hamster out, please reply! It helps a ton.
This is her cage right now by the way. I have more wood and a new tunnel coming as well as an actual three chamber hide rather than the carboard one since she chewed the panel in it
