Why does your hamster push his poop out of his cage?

Answer 1

I'm not sure about this but I think it might be because it wants to live in a no poop area. Some ways to prevent it is to line the base of the cage with food wrap if your whole cage has no bars (non- barred are better for your hamster than barred ones) or you can put the cage on top of newspapers or something like it so that when the poop drops you could just throw the whole newspaper away also another way is to potty train your hamster or provide it a bathroom area that is a tube connecting to another place (the other place in that sentence should be the restroom area) Don't put the restroom area where it sleeps because it wont "go" there and it will just continue to push its poop out. Any Questions that you have just perform a simple Google search.

Answer 2

It is either scared of the area or it just will, sometimes hamsters poop without knowing. But dont worry, just remember to always clean the ball, because the hamster will not move in the ball otherwise.

Answer 3

Because you haven't 'trained' it. It is very easy to accustom a hamster to using its toilet corner before you bring it out of the cage. Place the hamster near the place it has chosen as a toilet area, and it will usually do its business straight away. Then you can handle the hamster without it doing anything on you.

Answer 4

A hamster poops alot since it may be scared or you might be squeezing it to hard or to much.

Answer 5

because sometimes the food is too big, or they might not like it

Answer 6

Maybe because it could be a bit overweight or might have a little upset tummy. if it continues.... I would recommend taking it the Vet.

Answer 7

Hamsters are storage creatures, like squirrels, and store their food in places they know. All animals sometimes eat their waste as a way to survive. So maybe it isn't food they're eating!
