Default Re: Hamster started to pee in his house!

Rodipet do a corner ceramic on in dwarf hamster size 😊. When you say he banged his head - was the toilet sitting a bit high in the house? What I’ve done with that house before is - because it’s quite tall I sat the house directly on the cage base instead of on top of the substrate. Obviously then the substrate comes up around the outside but the door is big enough to cope with that. Then inside, instead of bar cage floor, put some substrate in an inch or more but so there is still plenty of headroom. The toilet can also sit directly on the base inside the house, or on just a thin bit of substrate - so the substrate comes round the edges of the potty a bit - ie the entrance to the potty is at substrate level inside the house so easy to get in and out of. And doesn’t look much like a potty. You could put a tiny bit of his peed on substrate on top of the sand first time.

They do tend to pee in the very back corner which is why the corner ones that are higher at the back work best. But some of those may fill the house up too much. The Germans actually tile inside the house on the pee corner! 😊
