unfortunately, i have had several hamsters become seriously addicted to their wheels and have never managed to make them stop :( i worry as they dont eat or sleep as much, i even had one wee girl literally run herself to death. :cry:
the only similarity is it only seems to affect my campbells, maybe just cos they are the species i have kept the most? or maybe they have an addictive personality. :|
as some of you probably know, its not a simple case of removing the wheel cos they go demented, and getting them out more doesnt do it either as i would literally have to have them out all night every night! anyway, im convinced when they are out, they just search for a wheel obsessively.
anyone any ideas how i can sort this? my beautiful argente boy Caramel is addicted to his UFO, hes only 6 months old and i worry every day im going to find him dead before his time :cry:
