No longer sleeping in house

[Lulu]

Hi

I am assuming this is normal.............The last 2 mornings I have come down to find that Millie is not sleeping in her house. Yesterday she was under her bridge & slept there all day, this morning she is under the shelf asleep.

I am thinking that as its been quite warm here, it maybe too hot in her house??

She seems quite happy, so not too worried but just thought I'd check with you guys!

my first hammie changed his sleeping places randomly. its possible that the house was too warm for her...or she just changed her mind

[Hope]

Yep, if its been warm she will have moved to somewhere cooler, its perfectly fine.

If you like you can just give her a pile of bedding and let her drag it about to where she likes - but dont worry its perfectly normal

yep its normal. none of mine have houses as they will either not bother with them or the house may be too small or too hot for them. as long as they have some bedding they will be fine

Yeah; hamsters will sleep where they want It might of got a bit to hot in his house so he moved to a cooler area

Hi Lulu,

Like everyone has said its perfectly normal. Huxley often sleeps under his wheel or just lays flat out on one of his shelves.

My ham is the reverse to yours - he only moved into his house a few weeks ago after always nesting in the corner of the cage.....

Thanks all, I added some extra bedding for her to put it where she wants.
