one mistake i made years ago when i got my first hammy was the ball size . i got him the smallest ball thinking it wouldn't matter since he could just fit. he wouldn't run in his ball and i notice he would urinate and sit in it . then i was looking online for a solution to this problem, it turned out that the ball i had got him was designed for dwarf hamsters and was wwwwwaaaayyy too small for a Syrian. as soon as i knew this i ran to the local pet store and got him a big ball . literally straight away he was like a new man. he love it so much that when hes awake and i show him his ball he climbs to the entrance of his cage and into the ball . I give toffee 20 mins a day in it and he loves it. this also helps with the taming process.
