    Question about HAMSTERS!

    Ok, i have a quick question. My sister got 3 hamsters today, and one of them hasn't stopped running in the wheel since it got home. It didn't have a wheel in its cage where we got it. I was just wondering if it was ok, if it ran CONSTANTLY, or should we make it stop. . somehow. . . ??

    It's fine, it will stop when it gets tired. It's probably saying "Wheeeeeee!" in joy that it now has a wheel, and can run off some of its excess energy!

    Sometimes they get anxious and will do odd things for the first few days. Some run constantly, my Hazel stuffed her cheek pouches FULL of food and waddled around with them completely full for about a week before she realized that I wasn't going to steal her food.

    Thank you Wolf_Q!
