Default Re: Please help hamster driving me insane haha

Hi, In the summer I can let Luna run around the conservatory, but in the winter it is too cold. I tried various boxes and playpens and ended up getting this with my nectar points https://www.argos.co.uk/product/7904044. You could just get a big plastic bin which would be cheaper, but I liked it cos it was on wheels. Luna always tries to escape and climb out, but I try to distract her with scattering food around and things to play with. I also found that if I wrap myself in a blanket, she will spend a long time climbing around and all over me and try to climb up the blanket. It's a nice way to bond with your hamster and hopefully burn off some of that energy. Also, can I ask if you are well enough to manage to get in the bath with her, you may have already tried that as you mentioned the bath, it might mean you distract her enough rather than trying to climb the sides. Also, could you partition an area off with collapsed boxes, if she is anything like my Luna, Luna will eventually nibble her way through the cardboard, but it will keep her entertained for a bit, you just have to keep replacing the boxes.
