Why does my hamster stick her butt up on the edge of the cage and go pee???

Question

My sisters hamster does this to. I don't think my other hamsters did this its really disgusting!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Looks like it has marked its territory. Thats where its used to peeing so thats most likely the logical reason.  

Answer 2

she is just a funny hamster

Answer 3

All rodents favor peeing in a corner. So do my guinea pigs!

Even rabbits, who are not rodents, pee in the corners or their cages. For example, last time I visited my animal shelter, the rabbits there always dripped pee on the poor rabbit below!

Good Luck!

Answer 4

that's funny!

lol!

good luck!

Answer 5

They like peeing in a single area and you can't exactly change that...

I know it's weird (very), but your hamster chose that spot!

At least you know you have a brave, unique hamster!!! :)

Answer 6

Hamsters always go in the same place to the bathroom. Usually a corner. So she's just going where she's used to going. You might want to switch to a cage with a deeper base if it's getting outside the cage.
