Hey /an/ Anonymous
My hamster keeps trying to push his face through the bars and biting them.

We're feeding him well, cleaning his cage regularily, letting him get plenty of excercise and handling him every day.

Does he want to run around in the hamster ball more or is he going OH SHIT LET ME OUT FUUUUCK

kill it and get a rat, hamsters are shit pets you want something you can actually interact with

A family friend was giving them away for free, so...

Mine did that for a while, and I eventually figured out it was because I had lights on late at night, and clearly the light was freaking him out. As soon as I moved to another apartment where he could have his own room, bam, problem solved. Then again, maybe he just grew out of it.

Your hamster is in heat. Use a pencil or something.

'cause to use-up his teeth.
Just like beavers do that, all rat-like mammals will do that or the teeth will keep on growing and kill them.

I had hamsters my entire life and most of them spent their entire lives trying to escape.

Evil little fuckers.

Get rats / mice.

I once had a gerbil.

He lived in a plastic cage, at first.

Guess what happened to it.

It's probably just trying to tunnel. They build long elaborate tunnels in the wild and chew through whatever roots and such get in the way. Make sure he's got something to chew on and wear down his teeth with though.

Give him some toilet rolls to destroy and hide in.

How do rats interact more with you than hamsters?

I've had rats for three years and all of them have had really sweet personalities and tend to be.. more aware of you. Every hamster I've ever held and -most- of the people I've talked to have said that hamsters aren't really good pets. Sometimes they let you hold them without biting you, sometimes they don't want anything to do with you and I've heard that few of them will sit and 'cuddle' or 'play' with you. I usually also regard hamsters as stupider.

I guess it's just personal preference. I had one rat who didn't really care about people. He wasn't mean and he enjoyed being petted but he didn't seek out the attention and company of me like all my other rats have.

my hamster used to chew the shit out his bars too. so i got him chewan sticks and he kept chewing the bars, i got him yummy chewy shit, nuts and all kinds of CHEW ON THIS type of stuff and he would still chew the bars. so i let him out more and the chewin stopped. its not like his cage was small boring or dirty, lil niggy just wanted to run around and splorin.

also the nuts were not spared.

Get home from school/work, rats get excited and run to cage to greet me.
I set up ramp from their cage to my couch and they run out and chill in my lap while I watch TV.
Put my hand in the cage and they are all over it with their tongues.
Love being petted and wrestling with my hand.
Look at me and grind their teeth when they want attention.
Beg for food when I'm eating.
Sit on my shoulder and groom my hair and beard.

These are things hamsters don't generally do.

ProTip: Don't try to take Boo from Minsc's inventory, or he'll fuck your shit up.

"Take heart fellow adventurers, for you have curried the favor of Boo, The only miniature giant space hamster in the Realm. My friend and companion ever since my h-h-head wound, he will lead us to victory! Onward to the Gnoll Stronghold to the west! Tarry not! We must go soon!"

haha. i had a gerbil when i was a wee lass. she had one of those hamster trail safari habitat things. all the little accessories were made of plastic including the wheel. despite putting in chew blocks she ate her entire wheel, and went on to eat 5 more after that. which was a shame because she really liked running in her wheel.
