Default Re: Multi level cages and jumping

Many hamsters do live happily in these cages and do tend to bungee jump!
The shelves should overlap so that she can only jump a small distance and not top to bottom. It is all new to her and she will likely soon calm down and use the levels as she should! If she is jumping top to bottom you may want to remove the top level till she settles then re -introduce it. Make sure there is a nice deep layer of bedding in the bottom and postion toys and bowls so she cannot fall on to them.
