My one month old Kipper used to run on a wheel. Now he doesn't exactly run, but walks fast to get the wheel moving then sits there when it begins to rock him. It makes me laugh but I wasn't sure if it was normal for a hamster not to use his wheel in a conventional way?
Yeah, I've seen some of ours do that sometimes. Its just what they want to do really, so may as well leave them to it
We used to worry about Scamp not using her wheel properly, but over time have learnt it's not really an issue. Its the hamsters choice and if they want to do unusual things, then we can just hope they enjoy them - is nothing else we can do really (and trust me, with Scamp we tried, she even got a new wheel incase that was causing it lol)
Hamster won't use wheel? Or is just lazy?
My hedgehog and a few hamsters. I think it's perfectly normal :P
