How do you get your hamster to follow you?

Answer 1

you get a peice of food and put it on the ground your hamster will sniff it and go right to you11works like a charm!!

If your hamster is in a room and the door was closed when it got loose, just stay perfectly still. Try to listen for scratching sounds. If not, scratch any dresser or deks type thing and listen. If you hear it, look EVERYWHERE you hear it. In droors, behind droors. Basically behind, in, or under anything you can think of that's nearby

By hamsterluver224:

Yes, I also think the old bucket trick works too. You put up a plank or something and a bucket baited with yummy food. Your hamster will walk up the ramp and fall into the bucket. Start looking in common hamster hiding places, like under droors, under beds, in bookcases, etc. My hamsters usually hide there. If you cannot find it there, look in unusual places like in blankets, in shoes, and in wrapping paper tubes. Or, you can leave its cage door poen with a trail of sunflower seeds leading to the cage and it will fall asleep in its cage by the next morning. Or, if you have more than one hammy, put a new nesting box in the cage and put the old one outside its cage with bedding. Or, you can buy harmless trap hotels for mice and bait it with treats.

Good Luck!

oh whats above `might work but make shure you put your hamster cage on the ground AND PUT WATER IN IT!

Answer 4

You can train your hamster to follow you by using treats as positive reinforcement. Start by enticing your hamster with treats and rewarding them when they come towards you. Slowly lead them around using treats as a guide, and be patient as it may take time for your hamster to learn to follow you.

Answer 5

Try and lure your hamster back into an area you can get him with a trail of sunflower seeds. when you see him/her you cant freak out or it will scurry away.

It depends on the cage. I cornor them and pick them up from the top. Just a warning, hamsters are fast so when you get them out of the cage they are going to want to run and hide.
