Where do you keep a hamster?

Answer 1

Did your hamster get out of its cage? When mine escapes she likes to hide under things, like the couch or the bed. A well packed closet floor is also a popular spot.

They also like to go in the walls of the house when they escape. But if they haven't escaped, they like to hide under their wheel or under their bedding.

Answer 2

If hamsters get out of their cage they usually like smaller tight areas. When my hamster got out he was under the heater base boards in our house they could even go into your walls. Some ways you may be able to catch him or find him is turn off anything noisy and try to listen for him ruffling around somewhere or hear him squealing. Usually at night they tend to ruffle around alot more because that is when their most active. You could also place food somewhere and just wait and watch

Answer 3

If your hamster escaped and you can't find it I recommend you lock your other pets out (if you have) and put your hammie's favorite food in several rooms. Wait a little bit and try to be quiet and you'll find it in no time.

There are many ways to find a lost hamster. If you have only one hamster, leave the cage on the floor with the door open. The hamster will actually come back to its cage sometimes. However, you should also look everywhere. A hamster could be just about anywhere in your house. Also remember that hamsters are more active around sunset and into the night, so don't be dissappointed if you can't find it during the day. Put a pile of sunflower seeds in each room and close all doors. If seeds dissappear from a room, it is likely that your hamster will be in that room. Another trick is to set up a "bucket trap." Do this with a bucket (at least 6 inches tall), a plank of wood or similar object, a towel, and food/water. Set it up by setting the bucket down with a ramp leading to it. The hamster will climb up the ramp and jump in the bucket, but will then be unable to get back up. Make sure to cover the bottom of the bucket with a towel, so that the hamster won't hurt itself jumping in, then put your food and water on the towel. Check it every so often.

WARNING:Be careful when losing a hamster around Christmas time. Once, my hamster went up the tree holder to get water, but then couldn't get back up and drowned. Likewise, when setting up a bucket trap, make sure to put the water in a bowl!

Answer 5

Hamsters should be kept in a "hamster-safe" cage when you are not playing with them. It can be a tank with a screen cover (surprisingly they can climb the walls using the coners or any hanging water bottles) or in a hamster cage. The cage should be kept n a quiet place (unless your hamster likes to watch activity like one of mine do) away from any possible drafts of cold or hot air. The temperature should not be to col or to hot. If you and more than one other person are comfortable with the temperature chances are it's ok for a hammy. However just because your ok with it doesnt mean your hammy is. You might like hotter (or colder) temperatures so think about what your hammy would like. You can always move the cage around as long as you have the space for it too...
