Are ladders ok for the hamsters meet to climb on??

Question

im changing my second and third floor of my hamster cage.. which are wire to solid floors..but are the ladders that they climb to the other floors with fine for the hamsters??please let me know..cause im trying to make the best home for them..thanks

Answer 1

As long as the ladders are not too steep, it shouldn't be a problem for them. Some hamsters don't like to use ladders, anyway, but I don't think they will be a problem for them as long as the main floor is solid.

Answer 2

hamsters are not made to climb ladders. i dont know where the other people got their information... but hamsters have soft feet. and climbing wire ladders will make your hamsters feet sore. you probably wont notice since hamsters dont really show signs of pain, and he will be fine just sore. wire wheels and cage floors are painful for hamsters, but climbing an incline with just the center of a hamsters soft feet will hurt..

but like i said you wont notice the pain he is going through, and he will probably continue to climb them i suggest getting a different cage with tubes instead of wire ladders.

Answer 3

Your hamsters aren't going to die, they'll be fine with the ladders. I think its sweet and a little creepy how you want to make the best home for them.

Answer 5
