Re: hamster using wheel as a house
I just saw your post re the weight of your Syrian. If this is the same hamster, then part of the problem maybe that your wheel is too small for syrians, especially if your hamster does weight 368g.
Are you able to post a pic of her and her cage setup.
For most syrians you will need a 11-12 inch wheel. It also sounds like you will need to put it on top of some sort of platform so she can't keep knocking it over.
Does she have a hide in her cage? If not, you could look at putting a shoe box in the cage, turn it upside down and cut a hole for the door in it.
