Why hasnt my hamster climbed its ladder yet2007-11-24 22:19:56

i jsut got a semi-long haired hamster today and he won't climb

his ladder or even get on his wheel, and won't go in his hidey home lol. is this normal for young or new hamsters?

Answers:

He was probably in a big aquarium when you got him, surrounded by his furry pals, maybe even curled up with one or a whole bunch sleeping. He was then put in a box, and placed in a new home.

Sooo....

Your hamster is just a little scared, I know I would be and is trying to get use to his new place.

Give him a few hours. Eventually, he will decide to explore and try out all the fun things in his cage. It will not be until late tonight that he will select a place to make his nest, then build it.

So just be patient, I am sure it will not be long until he is running like crazy on his wheel and ladder.

He probably doesn't want to.

because he dont want too

he's still figureing out where he is. when he realizes he is at home he will become more active.

He's adjusting to his new home. Please leave him be, so that he can get used to his cage. He should within a week or so start using the wheel.

Your hamster probably is still a little scared. Give him some time. Also, I would recommend that you use the ladder for play time. The ladder could fall, and hurt your hamster. But, other then that, give it some time! Thanks, and good luck,
