Talking Really weird behavior!

Hi all! I've got a female syrian ham, and she always does the same thing whenever I give her this cheese shaped chew. It's a pretty large chew, and she carries it like a bone around and around her cage, almost like trying to find a place to put it. But this will go on and on for...actually I don't even know how long because I get tired of watching her. Maybe hours?? Has anyone else seen this in their hamsters?

Default Re: Really weird behavior!

My little Dwarf boy does this whenever he gets a Whimzee treat. It's very adorable. But he doesn't do it for long periods, just until he can get it to some shelter to chew it in. He will never chew on one out in the open and has to have it in a hidey house. I imagine it's so
no - one else can steal it and feels safer since he'll be chewing it for some time

LunaTheHamster1 has a brilliant video of one of her adorable hamsters doing just this.

Yes I do - Star (syrian hamster) with her whimzee she also does it with another treat of hers.

Also, Luna (also syrian) used to do it with her walnuts.

Yes, see my previous post. I just think they are very happy and excited over the treat and are looking for somewhere really safe to keep it. They certainly don't want anyone else getting it
