Re: Hamster stopped using wheel
It all more than likely comes down to the cage being very small, hamsters cannot display normal behaviours in something that size and will often act strange or out of character. The bar chewing is a sign of stress & boredom which is to be expected. So it's time to think about a cage upgrade ASAP, the Barney from zooplus is normally about £50 which is a good price and decent size. The 8 inch wheel might be ok for now but it is definitely on the small side, ideally they need 11-12" wheels.
