Yes, what I do is, I play with mine all day and make it tired and then let it cleep at night. Continue to do this, until your hamster in noy nocturnal and knows ehrn to get up and when to sleep.

Rodents are either nocturnal or crepuscular 'NOT' diurnal. Rats' mice etc: are nocturnal meaning most active during the night, dust to dawn. However, Syrian hamsters are crepuscular meaning they are most active during twilight hours. That in the evening, just as it is going dark, and early morning just as it is coming light again. They are 'instinctive' or 'innate' behaviour's and cannot be changed.

Hamsters are naturally crepuscular animals, meaning they are most active during dawn and dusk. While you can try to adjust their sleep schedule by gradually shifting their feeding and playtime to be more in line with your schedule, you may not be able to fully change their nocturnal instincts. It's important to ensure they have a dark, quiet environment during the day for undisturbed rest.

You cannot change it.

If you have a problem that you cant play with it in the afternoon because it sleeps you should just play with it at night...

My hamster is sleeping a lot and has lots of food in her cheek pouches why is this?

Hamsters are nocturnal animals, so it's normal for them to sleep a lot during the day. It's also common for them to store food in their cheek pouches to save for later. Ensure your hamster has a balanced diet and clean living environment to help with its overall health and behavior.


What does this mean your hamster is sleeping a lot?

If your hamster is sleeping a lot, it could be normal behavior as they are nocturnal animals and tend to be more active at night. However, if you notice any other symptoms like weight loss, lack of appetite, or lethargy, it may be a sign of illness and you should consult a veterinarian.


If your hamster runs away from you does that mean it's scared of you?

Not necessarily. Hamsters are naturally curious and may run away to explore their environment. It's important to handle your hamster gently and build trust over time to ensure they feel comfortable and safe.


What types of tricks can you teach your hamster to do?

If you buy a Hamster when it is at least 6 months old you can train it. Hamsters may not agree to do the trainging at first but if you do it again, again, and again everyday eventually the hamster will get used to what you are trying to do and it will try.

Is it easier to train your hamster at night?

Actually, yes. Since they are nocturnal critters, they will cooperate better during evening or dawn. Try not to wake it up to begin your training session. Let it get up on its own so he/she can trust you more. Don't forget, praise your hamster with a treat if he/she performed the trick.
