Default Re: Hamster wants to escape!

Our instinct as humans is to clean everything at the same time and have everything just perfect, but with hamsters, it's best not to clean everything at the same time - eg do wheel one week, any toys another week etc and substrate a different week from other things.

Just had another look at your photo and I think adding a shoebox house or large-ish nesting box would help a lot and the bendy bridge you have could go over the door That also makes a ramp up to the house roof. At the moment there is nowhere dark for her to retreat to. They also like to have a shelf or platform to sit under or climb onto (which is also a good place to put a food bowl - so would suggest putting a small platform at one end and the house at the other end with the wheel and toys in between.
