Running Hamster

Product Information

Hamsters have poor vision and rely on their other senses to get a feeling for their environment which means they are unlikely to avoid banging into objects when in their ball. They are also unlikely to be able to avoid dangers such as stairs or heights. Therefore to reduce stress and dangerous situations, it’s important to keep constant supervision or create a safe, penned off area for them to play. Digging opportunities: Hamsters love to dig so look to provide a deep layer of sawdust at the bottom of their cage. Providing potting compost is a great option too and you can always consider a digging tower.

Hamster balls provide energetic hamsters with the opportunity to run around and explore their home. However, the 20-30 minutes recommended for daily hamster ball use is simply not enough to properly expel their extra energy and ensure their health. Hamsters need ample opportunity to get exercise on their own time, while inside their cage.

This will provide the hamster with lots of exercise and contribute to its physical well-being as well as helping to prevent boredom and stress.Hamster chew toys: Like most small animals, hamsters love to use their teeth so it's important to nurture their natural instincts. When buying a chew toy for your hamster, the most important consideration is that it's made with non-toxic materials. Wood can be a great choice but ensure it's pesticide and chemical free. Obvious weight gain is one symptom of too much inactivity. Listlessness and agitation are two behaviors often seen in bored and under-stimulated hamsters. If your hamster is experiencing these things, it may be time to change up the way that you have their playtime items arranged in their cage. You may also need to consider choosing a different type of exercise. If the hamster ball doesn’t seem to enthuse them, consider a hamster playpen instead. If they aren’t using their hamster wheel, consider that it may be too small for them to use comfortably – or too big for a dwarf hamster to use. Some hamster advocates think that you should never place a hamster inside a hamster ball. They feel that the ball puts a barrier between the hamster and its surroundings.
