my hamster is hiding in our air vents. I know because it smells like an old hamster cage. My question is how do I get it out?? Our last hamster died in there and it smelled almost as bad. (ps: if you have a 3 year old, don't get a hamster!) One way to get a hamster out is to look for a ceiling vent in your basement. If you have floor vents in your first floor, then the ceiling vent will be on the same level. Once you find a ceiling vent, find where hammy is hiding. Listen for little footsteps in the air vents. When you think he's near the ceiling vent, stuck hamster tubes up inside of it. Hammy won't be able to resist crawling in his hamster tubes! That's how i got my hamster out of the air vents. - ya u totally copied that from the hamster hideout forum...
yes a hamster does need ventilation:)
Twice they hide their food so they have more than you think.
Sure!! Waft the smell of a hamster treat in front of his/her nose. Then raise the treat in the air. Watch your hamster stand. now say (his/her name) stand repetitively while you do this until your hamster stand at the command of stand. There are other trick that work like this.

A syrian hamster needs more room than what people think. They are very active and night and require :- a wheel - definatly needed more than anything. a house or two - to sleep in. tubes and chew toys - to give it something to do and hide in. water bottle - to drink from. food bowl - not desperatly needed as food can be scattered around so they have to rumage for it.
They can,but make sure its 22 to 25 degree. Not cooler than that. And make sure they have a place to be warm for example,a hide house with soft bedding. But if you have baby hamsters, do not keep them in air condition room or else they'll get sick or even die.
By biting and scratching. Most likely they would run away. I had a hamster a few years ago, they have sharp teeth and mine had claws, so they can bite and scratch, they also hide and/ or play dead Hamsters protect themselves by biting or hiding. usually biting. Biting. or peeing if scared, or mouthing (not actually leaving a mark) to tell you it wants you to put it down. Hamster bite. In the wild, many types of hamster empty their cheek pouches of seeds and whatever they've hoarded to distract their predator's, which are mainly birds of prey, the bird stops to eat the seeds while the hamster makes its great escape.
Lost in a room
Hamsters hide in their houses in their cage or under their bedding.
Your hamster hides in small parts of your cage because it is probably scared or if it is a robo hamster the hide might not be suitable for him/her
enough so the hamster can hide under it.
hide up in the house
Put the cage somwhere were the cat cannot reach it.
if i knew the answer i would not ask you
She would keep it in the car, house, garbage, under a bed, her dresses, or her stuff at work,
The hamster will most likely hide and cower, as this is their instinct as they are prey, not predators, and an injury would make them more vulnerable. They also will limp or hold up the injury, lick, or try to conceal it. If your hamster is acting like this, take it to a vet immediately.
You need to look for them. They hide by instinct. This is normal behavior.
Probably in there house.
I think the best hamster cages come from Critter Trail. They have tubes a wheel and some thing to hide under.
