Default Where does my dwarf hamster pee ?

I know, odd question, but I need an answer...

I’ve had my hamster for 8 days. Every morning when I get up I wash Nuage’s wheel, give him fresh water and food. The wheel is always soiled with urine.

Every 2-3 days I spot clean. I see piles of poop, but no urine, except once there was urine on his paper roll. He has a sand bath and he goes in it, but I haven’t seen any urine in it so far. I’ve checked every corner of the cage and pretty much everywhere. I know he drinks plenty, I see him everyday.

Is it possible that he only pees in his wheel ? If not, where should I be looking ?

Eventually your nose will tell you where he pees.

What kind of hamster is he?

My dwarf pee's are quite small.
They do like to pee in weird places and hard to clean, like wheels.
Mine likes to pee in a corner and her sand.
You will definitely find out by smelling.
If you're really curious, I use white carefresh bedding, makes it easier to see to spot clean.
too

He is a hybrid. 80 grams so far, but still a baby at 1 month old.

Great idea ! Next time I’ll buy white bedding so I can learn his patterns. Right now he has a mix of Aspen, a little bit of hay and Boxo.
