Default Re: Russian questions

I can't call my self an experienced Russian owner, however, I can give my best to answer your questions from what I have learnt!

There isn't any one way that will ensure Pancake wees in a particular spot. Some hamsters, however hard you try to litter train them, will just use the toilet wherever they please!! It might be worth trying to move some of the pee soaked bedding from his bedroom into the sand bath, the scent of his pee might make him pee there instead. I have tried this with several hamsters and I find generally it works!

Again, this is so variable depending on each hamster's personality. For example, I have had hamsters that will cuddle up and fall asleep in my hands, and I have had hamsters that are too interested in their environment to want to relax or rest on me! Your sofa will be full of new smells and curiosities that will change for Pancake every time you put him there, so he may just be too excited by what's around him to really chill out. Who knows!

Good luck with the litter training attempts!
