The cork tunnel under the bedding sounds great. Where did you get yours?

This is a really clean routine. Saving it for when I next get asked.

The ceramic hide doubling as a cooling spot in summer is a great tip, mine stands on his already.

The 8pm sitting at the front of the cage is exactly what happened with mine. Took about a fortnight.

The weekly body check is a good habit to build early, especially once they get older.

The pinch test with a paperclip is clever. Doing that before I buy next time.

The tube getting stuck story is a good warning. Mine has one that is borderline and I have been putting off dealing with it.

Stopped buying the yogurt drops too. They really do make them picky about proper food.

Never co-house. Worth saying twice, I have seen people do it and it never ends well.

Checking the bottle is actually releasing is the one daily thing I would never skip. Lost a hamster to a stuck bottle years ago.

Rotating rather than adding more is something I had never considered. Trying it this month.

Good summary. The adapt quietly at first point is the one I wish I had known on day one.

The bar biting stopping afterwards is the interesting part. Mine does it in the evenings too.
