First Time Owner Hamster not gathering
Hey,
I’ve had my hamster for about a month now, I’ve been scatter feeding him and he loves collecting it and hoarding it in a food dish coincidentally. Recently he hasn’t been gathering all the food I scatter for him and has just been eating out of his hoard. I know he’s eating since the pile gets significantly smaller every day but the scatter feeding I’ve been doing hasn’t been picked up. Is this normal? I did add more stuff to his enclosure which made him a bit scared. I left him alone and he’s been coming to me to investigate but won’t take food from me and bites me more often
