The four cereal boxes detail makes it doable. Most of the ones I see are much more involved.

The plant section is useful. Mine gets a bit of alfalfa now and seems to like it.

Hoarding spoiled food is the one I learned the hard way. Smaller portions and it stopped.

The window point. Mine improved the day I moved him away from a draught as well.

Five tunnels is a lot. What bedding are you using to hold them that well?

The drooling is the tell. Good that you went when you did rather than waiting another day.

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

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 weighing point. I started doing it weekly and caught a slow drop early because of it.

The bit about not fully cleaning is the one I wish I had read a year ago. I was doing a full change weekly and wondering why he was miserable.
