Do hamsters need a litter box?

Answer 1

Hamster's are very clean animals and usually urinate and poo in a certain corner of their cage. You can actually buy "Hamster litterbox" from a pet store. I believe it contains a sand and a tiny box for it to use.

Answer 2

Hamsters generally do not need litter box. However u if want to keep ur cage cleaner, u can put a litter cage which usually being sold at ur local petstore. It usually comes with a type of sand which have smells such as blueberry, vanilla, strawberry etc. The sand must be poured into the litter box and let it for a few days. If ur lucky enough, ur hamster will attracted to the scent and began to dig and lay on the sand in the box. Soon the hamsters will frequently go to the litter box to poo and pee (they may poo and pee at other locations as well, but maybe less than before). When the litter box is visually stained and dirty, u can clean it up and refill the clean sand again. One thing to remember, once u take the litter box easy (means ur not cleaning it well, just put empty litter box w/o the sand, fill it with woodcharks), the hamsters may make the litter box as their "new home/sleeping bed", however do not worry these though. Lastly, try not to shift the litter box position frequently as they may "forget" their "toilet".
