Is this good or bad for a hamster?

Question

i normally put my hammie in a exersize ball since she is chubby and i leave her in for about half an hour and then i TRY and take her out she doesnt let me so shes stayes in it for an HOUR is that bad for hamsters or is it good?

Answer 1

I think Its okay my old hamster did that to.

Answer 2

if she's happy...that's good.

Answer 3

she will be fine if you leave her in there. i leave my hamster in the ball until he gets bored.  

Answer 4

A long time isn't bad. Especially if shes chubby lol. When hamsters are a little over weight they are at a higher risk of health problems (just like humans) But exercise balls are fun to them so if she wants to say in there let her roll. But its important that if she starts to fall asleep to get her in the cage before shes falls right to sleep. Cause then they are a real pain to get out haha. Good luck

Answer 5

she probably doesn't let you take her out cuz she's not done playing. if one hour is the point at which she will let you take her out then go ahead and leave her in there for an hour.

Answer 6

They say the  max is to keep them in there for half an hour.maybe they can get over tired.but half an hour max.Hope i helped!

Answer 7

it's good for your hamster more exercise and plus if it wants to play they can stay  

Answer 8

Thats great. You will know when the hamster is done when she stops rolling around, that probably means she is tired. Leave her in for the most and hour, that is fantastic exerziseee. Good luck!!

Answer 9

It is fine she will tire when she is ready and then put her back in cage and let her do her thing.  

Answer 10

this is normal because all rodents such as guinea pigs,rabbits , hamsters and all types like that sort like to hide. i know from my personal experience with all types of animals. well you should let your hammie play for at least an hour or two  because then they'll get fat. and if you let it play for only a half of an hour then she'll wanna play somemore so  please for your pets' sake let him or her play more otherwise she'll get bored and lonely and become depressed.

Answer 11

They can stay in there for as long as they want.  I used to put my hamsters in until they fell asleep in a corner or somewhere and then put them back in their cage.  Your hamster should be fine.

Answer 12

As everyone has already said, It's GREAT!!! I wish that I had a hamster, my brother once had one... NEVER USE CEDER OR PINE SHAVINGS FOR BEDDING OR ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!
