wow, good advice, thanks
I have a russain dwarf hamster is so cute. Every weekend I clean out his cage. We have him litter trained so it is very esey to clean his cage.
Awsome!(Dwarf hamsters really are cute
Litter training is a excellent way to keep the cage clean.I have not had much success in that area,probably because my hamsters are so active,but if your hamster is trainable it is a great way to keep the cage clean( and you usually don’t have to wash it every week!;) However it depends on the type of litter you are using,are you using one of those hamster ‘litter box kits” Usually a hollow log with bedding in it is what i have tried.
Or as much as you would if you didn’t
litter train him l
