Hamsters and noise

need your opinions. my hamsters cage is on floor next to music speaker and my boyfriends got music on loud. i say should i move hamster into another cage and he says no its okay it wont bother him. but hamsters have little ears? can it deafen them or upset them ? i think it can. he says im worrying for nothing.

it will bother the hamsters....i think they can hear quite well...better than humans anyway and loud music/noises will stress them out. i definitely would put the hamster into another room

you are not worrying for nothing

yes their hearing is hightened to compensate for bad eyesight so you should either lift ahmmy up or move to diff room

I would totally move the hamster or the boyfriend! Or the speakers

I think your hamster surely hates the loud music when he is trying to sleep. Good luck

I'm sure he's glad of it

. If anything loud is happening in my front room, Chewy gets jammed in the bedroom. And before I hoover I tend to talk at him increasingly loudly "Loud Noises. I'm Going to make LOUD NOISES" as I worry about shocking him and giving him a heart attack! They do have good hearing. Notice how they will sometimes stand on their hind legs, ears pricked, obviously heard something interesting, but I can never hear whatever it is!

My hammy wakes up when i make the slightest noise, very sensitive hearing.
When i want to play loud music i always move the cages into another room.
