strange sleeping

jkudach · 03-21-05

i always though hamsters had one place they iked to sleep and that was it.

beans has slept everywhere but in his hut meant for sleeping.

he has a "sam" no mess food compartment that he sleeo in ocasionally, he sometiems will make a pile in the corner and sleep on that, other times he sleeps in a toob, ad still other times he will sleep on one of his various jungle-gym type accessories.

is this normal behavior? is my hamster just an explorer, or does this mean somehting is bothering him?

mine have different places they like to sleep-sometimes Ralph lays out like a dog right out in the open-it is so funny...anyway sometimes they will sleep in the same place for the week, but after a cleaning it always changes...I'm sure it is fine for them to have whatever sleep habits they want as long as all behavior is normal and they are getting enough sleep...mine seem to do whatever they want-for instance last night after Ralph got his home cleaned out and it was all fresh with brand new food and treats he went over and poo'ed on his food! he has never done that before. Hoop poo's anywhere he feels like it-I wonder if they are subject to "moods" and whatnot...I am sure your lil babe is fine. BTW-Ralph is the black bear and he is the one who sleeps in different places a lot.

Hamsters do often pick one place to sleep and usually stay there, but not always. Sometimes they just like to try somewhere new I guess. After cleaning the cage and removing most of the smells that your hamster has left behind is the most likely time that your hamster will change where it sleeps. I've never had my hamster sleep out in the open though, I'm sure it's cute

Mabye it's just something fun for them to do. Make a new nest every few days.
