I’ve had my boy for a week now and I haven’t seen any sign of poo or pee anywhere in the cage. He's created himself a burrow and food hoard in the bedding towards the back of the cage that I can’t see so I’m suspicious that he’s made that his toilet too.
I know it’s stressful for them to clean and destroy their burrows but I’m worried it will get unsanitary to leave it too long?
I’m bringing my hamster home tomorrow, I have a 40 minute drive home and want him to be as least stressed as possible. I have this plastic carrier with bedding and will take some of his current bedding too. Is it good to prove a hide for them too? Even though my smallest one takes up most of the carrier? Or leave it empty?
Middle name to be Marie or Florence depending on the first name picked. Surname is a double barrelled Italian name starting with D-S.

My step son (11) lives 50:50 with us, all around great kid and ultimately this is a tiny niggle so I feel stupid even posting.
Ive noticed a pattern where he will take things from our house to his mums, multi packs of fizzy drinks, chocolate etc, all things we’ve bought for our house. Recently the football goal from our garden disappeared and it turns out he’s taken it to mums, no idea how without us noticing. Sometimes he asks, sometimes he just says he’s doing it and sometimes he doesn’t ask at all. His mum says she doesnt have much money so she wont buy treats or things like that, its not a big deal but i do think it would be politer if he asked.
The first time it bothered me was when he was gifted from my parents a deliveroo voucher, about 2 days later he had a friend over and asked if they could order food. I said sure, you’ve got your voucher, and he said he didn’t bring it with him because he’s saving it for his mums house… he ended up asking dad who gave them some money to order something.
But the reason for this post is I gifted my partner and step son an xbox for Christmas, my partner had been saving up for one because it’s his childhood memory of playing games consoles with his late dad that he wanted to relive with his son. They've both played it together but obviously as a working adult my partner doesn’t play as much as step son.
Today when getting ready to take step son to mums he announces that he’s taking the Xbox because he wants to play it with his brother at mums… my partner said hey what about me and SS said you barely play it and then that was that. SS took it to mums and as with most other things, I doubt we will see it again.
I’m conflicted, I want SS to use it, that’s why I bought it and I’m glad he’s grateful, he says thank you a lot. But it was intended as a joint gift at our house and a kind of feel like mums house ends up benefiting from a lot of things we buy… and also that my partner was so unbothered about letting it go even though it was a gift to him that he apparently had really wanted.
YOR because it’s their gift so if theyve both decided it can go to mums, that’s their choice?
NOR to feel a bit miffed because it was an expensive gift intended as a joint gift for our home
