You can't. Hamsters are nocturnal, so they like to play and run around while we sleep. If your wheel is well oiled, it shouldn't make any noise. Or you can buy a new wheel, a different kind. My cage, a Habitrail cage, uses a special wheel that makes a whoosh-whoosh noise. Truthfully, it doesn't really annoy me, but if it bothers you that much, move the cage.
1. Are you forcing the hamster in the wheel? 2. he/she can go in when they want to! 3. youre just a jackass for posting this !
Not that I know of, my hamster will be in his wheel daily and exerice for long periods of time. This is normal, this is how they get their energy out. Don't worry about your hamster it will be fine. Don't force them to go in the wheel but allow it to be in the cage they can use it at their own use.
Well... a hamster can go from 40 to 60 RPM on its wheel, so it's approximately 2 to 3 Volts.
A hamster wheel is used in the cage and is powered by the hamster its self. A hamster ball is what you put the hamster in to exercise when you are cleaning the cage. A hamster ball is heavier so would probably go a bit slower but both are actually powered by the hamster its self so it depends on how fast it goes.
i don't think so all THREE of my hamsters sleep like all day and then they wake at 11.30pm and run on the wheel like they haven't done it in a year!
Your hamster doesn't need to go in the ball everyday , If your hamster has an exercise wheel then you can put them in the ball when you want to. I have 2 hamsters and they both have hamster balls and i only put them in it 3 times a week at the most :)
YOU can do whatever YOU want, but keep in mind YOUR HAMSTER may not like it, and it can cause YOUR HAMSTER to NOT TRUST YOU, the next time YOU go near the wheel while YOUR HAMSTER is on the wheel it will leave! Just remember your size compared to your hamster, u would get pretty scared if someone that's nearly 1000x bigger in size to u spun your wheel while u were on it..... Try to see things from your hamster's perspective! And remember: IT'S A PET, NOT A TOY! TOYS DON'T GET HURT AND FEEL PAIN, PETS DO!
It doesn't matter where you keep your hamster as long as the environment is fairly quiet and warm. Since hamsters re awake at night, they usually go on their wheel,. Which sometimes is really squeaky and can wake you up, plus they sometimes smell a bit so it is up to you where you keep your hamster. Just make sure there are no loud sudden noises which could scare your hamster.
Hamsters in a cage can mind themselves if they have food and water. The only problem may be that its running on its wheel at night may disturb your sleep.
I had this exact problem with my hamster, but mine was in a wire cage. Originally I took the wheel off at night time, so that it didn't wake me up, however after a time I realised this was pretty unfair on the hamster as hamsters are nocturnal, and so are most active at night. The hamster needs the exercise and so by taking the wheel of I was depriving it of that. In the end I decided to move the hamsters cage in the room next door and shut the door. It was much quieter, and didn't make much difference as I could always go next door to play with it. Its the best idea because then the hamster gets the exercise and you get the sleep. Everyone wins.
Check for a pulse. If its alive go to the vet.
No...you see if it can not reach the wheel than you need a smaller wheel ......or else it will get bored
