Looking towards the future when these little hamsters are walking pooping machines....what is going to be the best setup to keep them in?!
My current plan is to set up a crate attached to an X-pen in the garage on top of a tarp. Then throw wood chips onto the tarp covering the X-pen, leaving the crate for sleepy time and food. Then when we're able to supervise and the weather is good, just fencing them out in the yard.
Thoughts? Better setups? I'd like something that's as low fuss as possible while helping them develop good potty habits. I want to avoid puppies that pee and poo all over their crate like many I know.
Also, best resources/tips/tricks on environmental enrichment and early socialization? They'll likely be coming to work with me a LOT, so they'll be getting that exposure.
