Body Language

Digging: It is natural for hamsters to dig. Hamsters love a bowl of Chinchilla sand (NOT DUST!) and might even turn it into his potty! He should have 2" to 3" of bedding in his cage.


Gnawing: Your hamster must gnaw regularly to stop their teeth from overgrowing. (See toys and food)


Teeth Chattering: This means your hamster is annoyed and he should be left alone as handling him could result in you getting bitten. Often this is what your hammie will do if his sleep has been disturb which is why you should never wake your hamster!


Standing frozen on hind legs: If he stands on his hind legs and stares, something has caught his attention and he is still so he can listen.
