Why does my hamster spend all its time on his wheel?

He eats on it, constantly runs on it, and even sleeps on it. He has a big cage with bedding and everything, but he barley gets off his wheel, only to get food and go back on. I just got him yesterday, but I don’t think its normal !! I don’t even know if he is drinking his water. What should i do? Should i take away his wheel for a little bit?

Answer #1

Because they don’t have much else to do in their cages :)

Answer #2

Try taking the wheel out for a little while and see what he does. If he has a nice big cage with a bed and everything I would think that he would explore it a little at the very least. Hamsters spend most of their time on their wheels but I’ve not had one that is as obsessed as your little guy is. lol

Answer #6

She posted the question twice lol you replied to the other one. Colleen might have deleted it because it was repeated.

Answer #7

I put some fluff in his cage cause i thought maybe that would get him to sleep outside of his wheel…. but he just took some of the fluff into his wheel to sleep….

Sounds like his wheel is his comfort zone lol XD As long as he stays healthy and everything don’t worry too much lol
