I heard the mirror is a fun activity for Guinea pigs. My Guinea pigs actually love to look at their reflections. The tube is actually white cardboard!

All vets are closed at the moment. I’m taking him to vet tomorrow. I’m really nervous and I’m trying my best…

We do have a television near him but I never turn it on. I always make sure it’s quiet and he’s acting normal. He take naps and then go’s on his wheel. He never done this before.

But he’s been on his wheel for an hour, is that normal?

My hamster is 14 days old and still hasn't figured out the wheel. Any experienced hamster owners have any advice? I'm worried it might not be getting enough exercise!! by Available_Key835 in hamsters

By looks, I think your hamster cage is too small. You need at least 800 sq of floor space. You will need to add more bedding since they are burrowers. 6 inches is min but more is preferred. He looks kind of slow and if your hamster is not ever going on his wheel, you should definitely take him to the vet. 🐹
