How long duz my hamster need 2 be in his ball?

Question

i dont no how long he can be in his ball he is a dwarf hamster

Answer 1

Anywhere from 10-30 minutes.  Those balls don't have very good ventilation, so I wouldn't leave him in longer than that.

Answer 2

No longer than 20 minutes as they can get very hot

Answer 3

Good question. A dwarf hamster should really be in his ball until he doesnt want to run anymore (he stops and can't be bothered to continue). Times vary per hamster so you need to monitor when the ball starts to get dirty and he starts running slower. They can take hours or minutes as they are ment to run 1 mile a night! I would say 15-25 mins if your ball has lots of air holes (thats what my dwarf hammy does)

hope I helped.

just be careful and make sure he is not preggers.  once my hamster was preggers and he had babies in the cage.  then, he ate all but two of his babies.  it was a whole bag of wrong.

so make sure your hamster is not preggers before you put him in the ball.

Answer 5

It actually depends on how long your hamster can be in the ball. Put him in the ball and see how long he enjoys running around in it. You would know he is tired when he slowes down or cuddles in the ball or goes to sleep. This would give you an idea of how long you should exercise him in the ball.

I have two dwarfies currently - one loves to be in ball and roams all around the house for even 20 minutes while the other gets agitated after 10 minutes. After noticing this behavior and learning from them, I have adjusted the timings to 15 mins for the former and 10 minutes for the latter.

The maximum time you should allow a hamster to be in the ball is 30 minutes. Any minute more than that and your hamster would get fatigue since he needs to have access to water and food.

Answer 6

Leave your hamster in the ball for around 15-20 minutes then take the hamster out.  karen

Answer 7

about 15-20 mins, after this amount of time, he might get stressed

good luck
