Hamsters are considered active animals, so most cages have a wheel where the rodent can run.
Long-term running maintains the mental and physical state of the pet, having a positive effect on its health.
But when suddenly the hamster stops running, the owner wonders why his behavior has suddenly changed.
It turns out that there are simple and adequate reasons for this.
Why did the hamster stop running?
Here are some reasons.
- Old age. He simply can't lead the same active lifestyle as before. For example, he could develop arthritis.
- Wheel size. It should be increased as the hamster grows, so that it can freely accelerate and feel comfortable.
- Wheel design. The animal may simply not like its design.
- Lots of noise. Rodents don't like loud sounds.
