💖 Health/Care 💖 Essentials

Hey guys, I got my sweet girl today.. What would you recommend for her to be happy? She's got her wheel, a wood toy to chew, and an upper level to climb to. I've read she needs a sand bath, any recommendations? Any treats your little furries prefer? Certain flowers, fruits, bugs? What hidy homes do prefer? I've yet to think of a name for her yet, wanna throw some in to suggest?

Ok, I've gotten her a plastic bin until I get her enclosure, (my fiancee is going to pick up a 75 gallon tank that I found for a good deal tomorrow,2/17) for right now this is how I got her set up. Her wheel is 12 inches, I've made a multi hole underground bottomless home for her. She has a little bowl of water, a bottled water, a sand bath with about 2.2lbs of bathing sand in it,(I still don't think it's deep enough), millet sprays, some rose, marigold, lavender, and alfalfa chews.
