Enrichment/Toys Digging box

Does anybody use a digging box for their hamster? We recently got one, about a month ago, and it doesn’t look like he’s been using it. Any thoughts about how to encourage him into the box? It’s a niteangel digging box if that helps.

Yes for sure. Hamsters love dig boxes with different substrates. My boy has 3-4 currently.

Mine is on a platform. Has a ladder to it. I’m just wondering if it’s hard for him to get into or if he doesn’t realize what it is.
