Hamsters must get plenty of exercise to stay healthy. You can provide exercise for your hamster in many ways. The most important way is providing your hamster with an exercise wheel, which should be left in the hamster's cage. There are different types of hamster wheels, metal, plastic, etc. The metal wheels last longer and are more durable, but can make a lot of noise. Plastic wheels are less durable, but are silent. Another form of exercise for your hamster is an exercise-running ball. This is a hollow plastic ball that your hamster is placed in. Your hamster can then run around a room without escaping. You should also play with your hamster daily, because it also gives your hamster exercise. |
