I am a hamster n00b

I looked into Mochi's cage tonight and couldn't find him anywhere. Panicked, I opened the hatch and dug around the bedding but still nothing! I was about to give up hope when I lifted the food bowl and there he was! He had dug a small circular space beneath the food bowl. He was annoyed that I had woken him and proceeded to the wheel as soon as he became fully awake. I refilled his food bowl, adding a few pieces of fresh carrots this time, and let him be.

He seems to really enjoy the deep bedding and burrowing!
