Hemp holds tunnels much better. Paper is cheaper but I found myself topping it up constantly.

If it is a dried insect twice a week is fine. If it is cheese or egg I would keep it to once.

The bedding in the bowl thing is universal. I put mine on a small platform and it stopped completely.

The cage size recommendations have changed a lot, and for the better. You are coming back at a good time.

Two weeks of each here. Hemp for tunnels, paper for the nest itself. Neither wins outright.

How did you frame the mesh? I tried something similar and the edges kept coming loose.

Welcome! Leave him alone for the first few days, just talk to him while you change the water.

Paper holds a tunnel if you pack it down, hemp is better straight out of the bag. I ended up mixing the two.

Is there any wetness around the tail at all? That is the one thing that turns it into an emergency for me.

The fact that he is still eating is a good sign. It is when they stop that it gets serious.

Looks great. Do you have a photo of the inside now that he has moved in?

Worth going through the rest of the bag for anything else sharp. I found a piece of wire in mine once.

If he is hunched and not eating by morning, go to the vet. Waiting is the one thing you cannot undo.
