I read today that hamsters use balls and wheels a lot less if they have a deeper layer of litter in the bottom of the cage. Apparantly they prefer to burrow if given the choice.

She likes to clean her sawdust down to the glass, and pack the horrid extra stuff away into an igloo. Seriously, I don't know how she fills it so full, and packs it so tight! You're meant to sleep in there, you durn fool hamster...

The gerbil liked burrowing when we switched her from sawdust to peat.

In my experience, dwarf hamsters love to burrow, but the Syrian ones not so much. I think maybe because they've been domesticated for so much longer.
