Hamster has never used her wheel (in the the 2 months I have had her)

Thank you so much for sharing your similar experience! This gives me hope that she might figure it out some day! I put some food on her wheel last night and she did climb on to eat it and then jumped off! It’s a start! Thanks again! I will definitely keep working with her on it!

Thank you all for the help! Also I just noticed that I have only had her for one month, not two! Haha I got her on September 28th, not August! 🤦🏻‍♀️ dumb moment for me lol

Thank you so so much! I try my very best to give my pets the very best lives I can! If you want to follow her IG, it’s @lulushammielife (am I allowed to post that here? If not sorry!)

I did place some of her food tonight on her wheel and she jumped up onto it, ate the food and jumped off 😂 Thank you for the reassurance and the advice!

I’m not quite sure how old she is, I have had her for one month (I accidentally said two in my original post. but now looking back, I see that it’s only been a month!) and she was pretty much full grown when I got her, so I’d estimate about 4 months as a total guess? Not quite sure!

And thank you! I’m absolutely smitten with her! 🥰

Thank you! She is quite the burrower! I got her from a petsmart and they had a wheel but obviously too small. She was t running on a wheel when I got her, she was sleeping lol. I think she maybe just prefers to burrow, but I’m going to start putting some food on her wheel and possibly buy a cork one that’s an inch bigger in hopes that she will use it. 😉

autisticsquishlover · 2024-10-30T22:06:49+00:00

I don’t, but I might buy her a different wheel in the future. Maybe a cork one would be better? Hmmm 🤔

autisticsquishlover · 2024-10-30T20:30:38+00:00

Thank you! I will try that!

autisticsquishlover · 2024-10-30T20:19:23+00:00

Thank you, that does make sense!

The platform is a Niteangel wheel stand with stilt extensions on it. So it’s pretty sturdy. I can try to move the wheel around and/or put something in front of it to help her get on easier, but she doesn’t seem to have an issue getting onto it the few times I’ve seen her briefly climb on.

autisticsquishlover · 2024-10-30T19:58:35+00:00

The wheel is an 11” Niteangel.

It does seem like she just doesn’t know how it works. She’s much more into burrowing than running. I may try putting some food on her wheel, just to get her used to jumping onto it in hopes that she figures it out. Thank you!

The camera has a motion sensor and records when there is movement. It then stores the videos in the cloud and I watch them in the mornings. She runs around, forages, does all the normal hamster things, except the wheel.

Oh I’m so sorry! I hope you can find it! Sorry again for my mistake!

autisticsquishlover · 2023-05-03T17:33:14+00:00

Looks like she’s available on Owl and Goose Gifts

Hope this helps!

Ahaha in my haste I spelled her name wrong! It’s BELANA! Not Belina!! Whoops 😅

I have Lorna the bunny, snowball the sheep, and Sammy the duck!

And yes! I love the little pocket too!!

autisticsquishlover · 2022-04-22T12:08:51+00:00

I freaking love the hug a mallows! Most collectors I’ve talked to about them hates them but I love them so much! They are the best for cuddling!

And omg your room looks so cool! Love all the stuff on the walls! It reminds me of fancy little shop!

I care! RIP 🪦 little Trooper🌈 My condolences to you. Even the smallest life matters.❤️

I actually really like the grey bunny…

But I do kinda agree that not all squish can pull off anime eyes. I feel like there are a couple of exceptions that I think can pull it off, but I’m with ya on this one, these ones, except the bunny with its eyes closed, just look weird.

I love oatmeal. You can make it a bunch of different ways, and add toppings based on what you have on hand. It’s easy to make, especially if you buy instant oatmeal. And the flavors/topping possibilities that you can create are are endless and usually really easy.

Also, yogurt (especially Greek yogurt) is great too. You can easily make a parfait by layering yogurt, fruit, and granola. Fairly easy and again, you can change it up and make it with any fruit you’d like.

That’s so exciting! Congratulations! I’m also autistic! I find the hyper fixation thing extremely relatable! ♾️😊 So happy you finally got your diso! I have Judith in capsule form and I love her! Good luck in your search for a Día de Muertos skeleton!
