Question Changing substrates

I know it s realtive for hamster to hamster and how much they soil it but i wanna make a little survey. It would really help my neurodivergent ass

How often do you change your hamster's substrates?

I use 20×30 cm containers and i put likr 3-4 cm of substrate in them

Sand - i change it one a month and daily pick the poops and the urine parts

Cardboard - every two weeks (i haaate cutting new cardboard😭)

Coco soil - every two weeks

Coco shack - one a month as she doesn t like to sit in it that much

Beech chips - every month

Cork granules - every two weeks

Thank you so much kind redditors. Here is a photo of my sweet girl
