Default Urination frequency

How often should a syrian pee in a day?

Default Re: Urination frequency

Sorry that I cannot answer this, but I think it would depend on a lot such as diet (e.g. amount of fresh veg and fruit), age, size, water consumption (which in turn would be dependant on temperature and therefore factors such as location and time of year). Also, some may pee little and often, and others less often but more at each time. And, given most hamster owners don’t watch their hamsters to check how often they visit their wet corner, it would be hard to know the average. So long as your hamster is drinking, does not seem to have a swollen middle/genital area and appears happy and healthy, they are probably peeing enough - even if you cannot find their wet corner. It took me a while find Mushu’s (turns out it was his wheel!).

Default Re: Urination frequency

I have no idea how many times but would think you need to be more concerned with quantity than frequency, are you worried lorrapaw or just curious?
You shouldn't be finding much in the way of really wet bedding, any noticeable increase could possibly be a sign of a UTI.
