Your hamster could be acting 'odd' if it doesn't have enough outside of the cage time (in an exercise ball and/or even a hamster pen), or maybe for a medical reason. If a hamsters cage isn't cleaned properly it is very very very easy for them to get a disease called "wet tail". The name of the disease basically says it all. They have antibiotics in any pet stores and I even saw them in some Wal Marts. Your hamster could also possibly be dehydrated. Hamsters drink a lot of water. Kind of like humans - if humans don't drink enough water they become dehydrated and can get very ill.

Hamster are usally very sleepy during the day. They will sometimes wake up and eat for a short period or time or take a drink of water. Don't be afraid to pick them up and play with them! They love company! Also, make sure you clean your hamsters cage or tank at least once or twice a week. At night hamsters stay up and go on there wheek or walk around or eat. Sorry if you have a lound wheel! They make keep you up!

Since we moved the hamster up to my bedroom from the kitchen, she was fine the first day, but the past couple of days she seems to be more tired than normal and keeps falling asleep in her toilet and wheel. Could this be due to the fact that I let her out of her cage every evening to have a run around in my room. She seems to love exploring my room. Today, after cleaning out her cage and feeding her, she has now decided to put all of her food in to her hamster wheel instead of where she usually puts it.

I am also worried that she is not drinking enough. I filled her bottle full to the top last night, and she has only drank about a cm of it. Is this due to me moving it upstairs so that she could get out of the hole downstairs?

Cheers.

Matt
