Can't seem to figure out what my Hammy likes

I've had my hybrid dwarf about 10 days now and I cannot seem to figure out what he likes as far as treats or vegetables. I've tried freeze dried chicken, meal worms, pumpkin seeds, tiny piece of apples, celery, romaine lettuce, cucumbers, spinach, tiny piece of carrot, a Itty kitty sliver of grape, plain cheerios.

He does seem to eat his seed mix and blocks. But other than that he hasnt even touched anything additional I've put out. Now I know hybrid dwarves are prone to diabetes so I wouldn't normally have offered some of the above higher sugar items, and what was offered was so small. But in the end he never tried any of it.

What're some other things I can try? Or has anyone else experienced this? He came from a rescue and is still young so I don't know if he was ever offered other things.

Advice welcome. Pic for cuteness

Empty-ish back wall?

Seeking advice on my hamster enclosure. It's been a long time since I've had a hamster and I want to be sure I'm providing my new little ham the best life possible. My question is, does the back wall look too blank/empty? I have other hides and a platform I could use. But I was struggling between putting in the most bedding, but also having my platforms reach the floor of the enclosure.

Or should I just pile up the bedding in the areas with no platforms? Also to note, there are 2 buried cardboard tunnels out of sight and a sandbath tucked under one platform. Sprays and moss will be added after they're done freezing.

Any constructive advice is welcome! Thanks
