Default Re: Hamster Cage Too Small?

Unfortunately it's a bit too small. I find female Syrians to be very hyper and need lots of enrichment to keep them entertained!

Some things to try in the meantime:

- make the substrate really deep for burrowing

- rotate the toys around to keep it interesting

- provide plenty of chews and different types (whimzee, loofah, wooden)

- scatter food around the cage, make food puzzles (there are some good ideas on youtube and pinterest)

- get her out for longer either in a hammy proof room or a playpen (children's ball pit/empty bath)

- avoid getting her out when she bites the bars as she will associate it with being let out and will enforce the behaviour
