Hey man, you won’t believe the hilarious story I have to tell you about my hamster and his ball.<\/p>\n
So, I’ve always heard that hamsters love running around in those little exercise balls, right? Well, I figured I’d get my little guy one of those balls and let him go to town.<\/p>\n
I mean, how much trouble could he possibly get into, right?<\/p>\n
Well, let me tell you, I was in for a surprise. I put my hamster<\/a> in the ball and off he went, rolling around my apartment like a little furry tornado.<\/p>\n At first, it was pretty funny to watch him go. I mean, he looked like he was having a blast running around in circles and knocking over everything in his path.<\/p>\n But then things started to get a little out of hand. My hamster was running so fast and knocking<\/a> over so much stuff that I started to get worried about him getting stressed out.<\/p>\n I mean, I know hamsters<\/a> are tough little critters, but I didn’t want him getting too worked up or anything.<\/p>\n So, I decided to go online and do a little research on whether or not hamsters can get stressed in their exercise<\/a> balls.<\/p>\n And you know what I found out? It turns out that hamsters can actually get pretty stressed out when they’re in their balls<\/a> for too long.<\/p>\n Apparently, the constant motion and lack of control can be a bit overwhelming for them, especially if they’re not used to it.<\/p>\n They can also get stressed out if they’re in a crowded or noisy environment, like if you’ve got a bunch of people running around and making a lot of noise.<\/p>\n So, long story short, I ended up taking my hamster out of his ball after about an hour or so. I figured it was better to be safe than sorry, and I didn’t want him getting too worked up or anything.<\/p>\n Okay, so now that we’ve established that hamsters can get stressed in their balls, you’re probably wondering if it’s okay to leave them in there overnight. And the answer is: no, it’s not a good idea.<\/p>\n While hamsters are tough little<\/a> critters and they can handle a lot, they still need their rest and downtime just like we do.<\/p>\n Leaving them in their balls all night long can be pretty exhausting for them, and they might not get the rest they need.<\/p>\n Plus, you never know what kind of trouble they might get into while they’re in their balls. I mean, they can roll around pretty fast, and if they knock over something or get stuck somewhere, you might not even know about it until it’s too late.<\/p>\n So, it’s best to just stick to using the ball during the day when you’re around to keep an eye on your hamster<\/a>.<\/p>\n That way, you can make sure he’s not getting too worked up or anything, and you can take him out if you need to.<\/p>\nCan I leave my hamster in a ball overnight?<\/h2>\n
