2. When replacing, keep 1/3 of the old sawdust mixed in to avoid the hamster's stress reaction due to the sudden change in smell (top recommendation in the Reddit pet forum vote).
3. In conjunction with the popular Instagram challenge #NaturalHabitat, add hay in the corners to enhance the natural feel.
