Hi all,

I have a new Syrian hamster (purchased him about 2 days ago).

I think it's just because he misses his friends/family from the pet shop or because of the new surroundings, but I want to be sure...

During the night when he is awake, he climbs the cage, shakes it and keeps biting on the bars. I know that this would most likely be normal as it is new surroundings for him, but every now and then whilst doing this he will make a squeeking noise as if he is crying?

What do I do? I get so upset knowing that I can't stop it from feeling upset. It has a ton of things in his cage - he has cardboard tubes, 3 houses, lots of bedding (which he likes to move from house to house!), an 8 inch wheel, wood to chew on etc.

He also likes to dig the bedding at every corner of the cage.

I know this has probably been asked a million tons, but I'm just seeking advice on what to do to calm him down.

Thanks

John.
