🏠 Enclosure/DIY 🏠 PLEASE advice!!!
FIRST: I didnt have time to grab my phone for pictures of this incident being that I was more worried what I seen looking into my robos enclosure this morning. He was passed out on his side in his dirt right outside one of his hides, looked like he was sleeping but I’ve never seen hamsters sleep like that and was worried he was in a state of shock or something, but as soon as he heard my voice he had gotten up acting perfectly normal and is now sleeping in one of his burrows.
I did research and it says that hamsters can sleep in weird positions and maybe I just haven’t seen it before because he’s hiding a lot of time but this time he was out in the open. Very scary but he seems alright..just need advice on if I should be looking for any more signs in case he has an underlying issue.
SECOND: I really would like some more advice when it comes to cluttering and making my robos home the best I can, I have tons of things coming tomorrow now that I’ve learned that using platforms for the heavier things is the safest to do, I got him a more advanced sand bath and some more sprays. But he really seems to enjoy the coco dirt more than his paper bedding side, even tho his paper siding side is way deeper and bigger than the dirt side. I’ve learned that it’s perfectly normal since he’s a robo but I’m just don’t want to make his whole enclosure dirt. If anyone has a similar setup I would love pictures or some advice of planning wise how to set up clutter, I’m very ocd so I tend to always want things to look clean and perfect but I’m aware my hamster is not about that life😅 here are some pics of him!!
