To add a picture you can go to https://imgbb.com/and just follow that directions then copy and paste the link into your post. I hope that makes sense I don’t have much experience with Imgur (another base) because I don’t use that one but once you figure it out it is pretty easy.

Things I use in my hamsters cage:

Cage: 600 Sq inch bin cage

Bedding: Kaytee clean and cozy white and brown (average of 6 inches)    If you can maybe try to add a little more bedding.

Wheel: Silent spinner (10 inch)    Try to upgrade to a 12 inch

Sandbath: homemade (maple wood)

Sand: Children's play sand ( sifted through)

Dig area: homemade ( maple wood)

Dig substrate: Eco Earth, coconut fiber

Water bottle: Lixit large On a platform or multichamber hide you can put a water bowl instead of bottle to save some space in the cage.

Fruit/ veggie bowls : small pet food dish ( Don't use for food I Scatter feed) I love that you sactter feed!

Branch: maple

Litter box: cloud sandbath box

Litter: Hamster safe paper pellets + kaytee critter litter

Hideouts: Homemade (maple wood), Coconut shell, getting ceramic hide soon

Tunnels: toilet paper tube, huge burrowing tunnels

Toys: willow balls, chews, interactive toys, getting hanging toy, treated pinecones

Food mix: White mill pure hamster diet + mazuri rat and mouse lab blocks  This can work fine but I personally like to use a species specific diet from etsy like Chubbyhamstercheeks or robins gourmet food.

Sprays: millet

Platforms: homemade (maple wood)
