That's a shame that you feel that way.

Yes, some of our hamsters wee on their wheels because they are excitable little creatures, especially the ones that never had anything to get excited about.

Yes, one poos on his wheel then runs on it and another pees and poos in his en suite toilet which i have to clean twice a week.

Keep in mind that a hamster's poo is not smelly and one type of poo is in fact ingestable.

Hamsters are very clean animals and cleaning a wheel is a part of keeping a hamster as a pet.

Rousey may run and poo on her wheel less in the future as she settles down and the initial novelty wears off a bit but in the meantime, please don't be put off by a little hamster poo and give her the love and attention she so deserves and never had before.
