Default Couple questions.

So Percy has a few odd behaviors. He's pull poo right out of his butt and throw it in a pile. It's weird. -.-

He also does this little bar climbing thing where he starts climbing but since he starts at an edge he only gets one side up and does a thing with the other foot, where he spins it in circles and he does it for a long time, which I don't think is good for him.... Any help? I just fear one side of his body will be stronger and then he'll have issues.

Cookie does the poo thing, she likes to pile it up outside her nest so that her Mum can clean it for her . It's a normal hamster thing, so no need to worry .

Can't help you with the bar thing, I've not come across a hamster doing that before. They can do odd things at times though.

Luna chucks her poo out of her nest while she's sleeping, its normal

No idea about the climbing. Like Roxie said - they can do some odd things sometimes!

It's like he's trying to bar climb, but since he starts on the edge, he can't use the other side. And just tries in vain.

Sandy will do something similar with bars if given a cage with bars. She will hang from the ceiling with only one side of her body, then let go with the back paw and dangle like a monkey trying to whack stuff with her three free paws she is crazy though

I think they're just trying to amuse themselves. I imagine I'd do all sorts of odd things being kept in a cage most hours of the day

I'll have to grab a video. It's more like a failed bar climb....I can't explain it. I'll try for a video in a little bit.
