No, rabbits don't play in hamster wheels. Hamster wheels -- even big ones -- are too small for rabbits (even small dwarf rabbits!). Rabbits and hamsters have different natural behaviours, so what works for a pet hamster does not work for a pet rabbit. Hamsters in the wild run and run all day, and cover tons of ground; a hamster wheel replicates this activity and lets a hamster use its energy. Rabbits, however, don't run and run all day: they graze -- hopping, nibbling, hopping, nibbling; and they dig and burrow, etc. Because of their different natural behaviours, rabbits and hamsters need different toys and games. Never put a rabbit inside a hamster wheel: it could panic and easily injure itself!

Can your other hamster get sick and die from being depressed from your other hamster that had died?

It's possible, but most likely no. If your other hamster died, then play with it, and keep it happy and not lonely. Or you can clean out the cage, and then buy another hamster for her/him to play with. Then she will be happy, and the other one she would forget about. It's possible, but most likely no.

What happens if you don't play with your hamster?

If you dont play with your hamster it will quickly get very lonely and therefore more vicious. If you have one hamster it will get more lonely as at least with two, they have eachother. You must play with your hamster i you want it to lead a happy normal life. I guess giving it treats or letting run around your room is better that not playing with it at all because at least then it gets some freedom and a different scenery. But playing with your hamster is always better!

Do hamsters like hamster wheels?

YES! a hamster absolutly NEEDS a hamster wheel. For syrians, they can go on any wheels. If you love them , you may buy them huge ones which it is more fun to be on and they will love you back (: For drawfs, it's better if you provide them smaller wheels because they can get sliped more easily. In conclusion, hamster wheels are a good source of excercise because it keeps them fit and not so lumpy after all those rewarding treats :) hope it helped, in my experience i have 4 hamsters. They like the hamster wheel and they often go on it. Hamster wheels are like hamster ball but i prefer wheels. THEY ARE TRES TRES AWESOME!

Can you put a rabbit in a hamster wheel?

At one time, I had 2 hamsters, 2 rabbits and a G. Pig, and I would let all of them out of the cage at once. The rabbits didn't seem to mind my dwarf hamster too much, and my syrian hamster used to sit on my rabbit's back and she didn't mind him. It all depends on your animals personalities. If your rabbit is laid back, or docile, then they are more likely to 'play with' or tolerate the hamster then a skittish or aggressive rabbit would be. And a docile hamster or a hamster that doesn't bite often would be less likely to spook or anger the rabbit. Also, if your rabbit is large (mine were dwarfs) keep an eye out for your hamster, just incase your rabbit might accidentally step on or crush your hamster.
