Good morning everyone,
I’m new to the forum and happy to be here! We adopted Whitney, our 4-month-old Syrian hamster yesterday. She had a busy first night and already seems to be settling in well.
I have a quick question about her sand bath setup. Whitney has chosen to nest in one of the corners of her enclosure rather than using the hides provided. In doing so, she’s pushed quite a bit of her bedding into the sand bath (photo bottom right).
Would it be best to:
Thanks in advance

Would it be best to:
- Leave it as it is and let her do her thing?
- Spot-clean and remove the bedding as needed?
- Or rearrange the sand bath to help reduce the amount of bedding being kicked in?
Thanks in advance
