How do you get my hamster ride on wheel?

Answer 1

True it is cheep and easy to buy a new one, or find a free used one but its always better to DIY. Use your imagination, you can use the clear plastic cover for a stack of blank c.d.'s and attach it to a piece of wood or directly to a plastic or wire cage.

Answer 2

You can't really force it to, but at first when I got a hamster mine wouldn't and I realised it was because the wheel was too high for it to climb into. Maybe you could try lowering the wheel.

Answer 3

Im guessing that you put the rat on the wheel and let him/her get a hang of it.........I tried that with my friends hamster it worked. U might wanna try but theres a 50-50% chane of ur rat doing it or not

Or, you could put a dab of peanut butter on top. the rat will then understand that they have to move the wheel to get to it. this tactic normally works. so that she/he will keep running on it, you could give him/her a praise or a treat when they use the wheel the way u want them to.

Answer 4

Just put them with it, they are naturally curious and will sniff, explore, taste, move, and figure it out on their own. No training is needed. Have fun watching them try different things until they see what it does.

On the lighter side:

Demonstrate to them all the wonderful uses they will find for one, such as:

• bicycling,
• driving,
• Skateboarding (you should see them do an Ollie Kickflip!),
• propelling their paddle wheel boats,
• roller skating,
• moving the refrigerator to clean under it, etc.

Answer 5

Most hamster will pick one spot where they use the bathroom. Find out where that one spot is then put some bedding in the litter tray and your hamster should use it. If it doesn;t ust keep trying and if you have a hard time give it a treat when it does. :]

Answer 6

Hamsters can't really be trained. For whatever reason, hamsters just know how to use hamster wheels without being taught. They love to run in their wheels, especially when they are young.
