Does a hamster Potty work?

Question

i want to know do they, please be honest :)

Answer 1

I was sceptical about this concept also. But i did buy one as i researched that hamsters naturally go to the toilet in one area separate from their sleeping and eating area. Hamsters naturally like order and would go to the toilet in one place all the time. This is if you follow the instructions on the potty box and are patient with your hamster - some may take time to catch onto the idea.

Honestly it is uncertain that the hamster will always go to the toilet in the potty. From experience my hamster ALWAYS pee's in the toilet and often poops in the toilet. You will however find the odd p**p all over the cage still as you cannot completely stop them from doing this.

If you are thinking about buying one it is a 50/50 choice:

NO ITS A WASTE OF MONEY: You may not have to buy one as the hamster may themselves decide that they want to go toilet in a certain corner of the cage and will always go in that corner  which also makes it easier for you to clean. And it may be a good idea not to buy one if you were thinking that the hamster would ALWAYS go to the toilet in the potty as they will still p**p all over the cage.

YES IT'S WORTH THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR IT: You can buy one as it is the wee that tends to smell and picking it up from the potty is convenient and cleaner. I've found that no matter which corner i put my potty she always goes toilet in it. Also the potty litter changes colour and clumps together to stop it spreading.

Hope this helps x

Hi There! Hmasters are exceptionally picky about where they go "potty" my hamster hated them. But others like them. Watch your hamsters potty corner (usually hamsters have them) after you clean there cage purchase a tinie tiny litter training box for your hamster. put it in their potty corner with lots of bedding covering it so it almost looks like it isnt there but shallow in the potty box. Hope this helped!! Good Luck. -Lily Allen♥☻☺

they do work when the hamster knows about it so if you get a potty put it in the cage with litter in it then put some of its p**p in it so it thinks that he or she is supposed to "go" in there so anyways hope i helped

That depends on your hamster honestly.  I have gotten several of mine to use the hamster potty.  They most likely won't use it right away but the trick is to find where they are going to the bathroom in the cage and putting some soiled bedding in the hamster potty.  They might catch on after that in a couple days or a week. It really depends.  

I think the concept of a hamster potty was intended to be a good idea but it kind of is a waste of money.

It usually does if you are petient. Females are usually easier to potty train than males.
