He sounds to be having a lovely hamstery life Have you thought any more about out of cage taming time?

Yes I can pick him up and stroke him now and he climbs all over me. But he is never still for very long, he’s full of energy

Sorry wrong thread

Yes I have thought about out of enclosure time and I'm sure with teddy's confidence and curiosity growing with every day, it won't be long before we'll be doing that! Teddy to me is the important one in all of this and I don't want to rush him and then push him back ( which I feel has happened) the right time will come, I'm sure it's not far away ! and that's exciting Ness

Teddy had a lovely time last night, he was up just before midnight and stayed up until 3.30 He did his wheel and lot's of hammy foraging. I hid a few of his treats around in unusual places... Of course he found them, which was great He nibbled his whimzees crocodile and had 2 peas and his Nibblot on his dish. He's still digging to Australia in his corner bath. Bless him. Ness

Collecting strength for his exercise in the wheel

Yes, he certainly spends alot of his time running on his wheel, he needs lots of veg Ness

Teddy has been having a good couple of nights! He's been getting up nice and early.. around midnight and staying up a good 4 hours. He's been loving his veg on his dish and I've started hiding his favourite things around his enclosure
I've been very impressed with how he's found everything I've sneakaly hidden. He's spending alot of time on his wheel, I'm just starting to see abit of wear on the sandpaper so I might have to change it soon. Fortunately they supplied a spare sandpaper with the wheel. Considering we have a visitor at the moment it hasn't affected him at all. He's still going in the lounge tunnel via the top hole to collect his Nibblot, he hasn't realised yet that he can burrow up into it! but it is early days. Can't wait for him to burrow up,I think that's when he might stay in it! Ness

It's great that Teddy is getting so much enrichment I've heard that sandpaper isn't good for their feet. Not quite sure where, but apparently it can lead to sore feet. I think cork might be better

Teddy had a very entertaining night last night! He was up just before midnight,he did his usual things foraging and of cause plenty of running on his wheel. He's managed to do a burrow down between the sandbath and his tray with different substrate textures on. He's been trying to do this burrow for a while and he thought digging to the bottom of his sandbath would achieve it. I think because of his poor vision and the fact his bath is clear plastic it's understandable! He had a pea and french bean on his dish with his Nibblot. He's totally in love with his crocodile nibbles it every night but last night he really went at it with intent, then he surprised us by getting back up at 6.30 and started attacking it again banging it on his dish and trying to drag it across the top of his multi chamber! We've got a sneaky feeling it's going to disappear very soon. Bless him Ness
