Thanks guys! Those are all very good suggestions! Where do I get the bitter apple spray? I looked at Petsmart, but they didn't have it...but then again, I only looked in the "small animal" department...I didn't look anywhere else...could it be somewhere else?

I will try the dog bones....I'll get them from the grocery store, so I can go ahead and try them...Petsmart is about 45 minutes from me right now. If all that don't work, I'll do the aquarium thing.

Thanks for the info! It's been really helpful! And thank you for the alert on the rawhide bone Bathsheba069...I never knew that! Thanks for bringing it to our attention, and I'll also spread the word to other hamster "families"!

You guys are the best!
