He hasnt run on it for over 3 weeks now,and he uses it to sit and clean himself on now,so is it worth removing it from his cage and replace it with another toy or something else he can entertain himself with?
What are the best things to give him?I know they like toilet rolls,but he hasnt touched the one ive given him,and ive got him one of those log things with holes in,and he doesnt like that either.
Any suggestions?

My hamster used to do that! I just left it in and let her have it for storing food underneath and cleaning herself in, what i did was i let her loose in my room after making sure everything was hamster proof and simply sat on my bed doing what i wanted for an hour or more. Also remember to handle your hamster as much as you can! One of my hamsters used to like to climb the stairs!
Its kind of hard to tell what hamsters do and don't like, but i guess it depends on its personality, by all means try a few different toys :]
My hamster also used to like to put her food in her wheel then spin it round and let it all fall out and used to repeat this pretty often, i just left her to it!
Hope I've helped! xxx

Yes let the hamster have some freedom! can you imagine waking up every morning knowing that all you have to do is run in a wheel all day!
Try putting it at the bottom of the stairs and letting it climb up, they really enjoy it and you can make its adventure more exciting by putting cardboard tubes on a few steps or some tastt treats. This is a safe way to excercise you hamster and stimulate its brain! You can keep watch at the bottom of the stairs while it plays.

under pressure cages are the final. Tank cages are not extremely difficulty-free to bathe... and get grimy extra immediately. My hamster has had a under pressure cages for 2 years very almost, and it somewhat is nevertheless high-quality. Tank cages are not that undesirable. in the adventure that your hamster is an get away artist... then it somewhat is ultimate for a tank one. yet... in the adventure that your hamster continuously chews and bites and tries to flee, positioned some pegs on the cage door, and voila. :)

i had 2 syrian hamsters and both of them didn't like the wheel - infact they never ran on the wheel! so i took off the wheel - but make sure that at least you let your hamster run a bit in you room in the evening so that it will make exercise - they love climbing so be careful as not to let hanging things around or wires hanging because it will climb on them!!

Your hamster is just too intelligent for these silly gimmicks. If the hamster is tame enough to take out of the cage then let it run around the room for exercise.

That happened to my lemming. It is probably just bored. Try taking the wheel out for a bit and replacing it with something it can climb on. If they get bored with that, then put the wheel back. Hope this helps!!!

Noooo! Don't take it out his cage - you'd be surprised what he gets up to when you're asleep!! get him a cage with bars, syrians love to climb! And put some gnaw sticks in for him and try get him out to run in a ball as much as you can. XX

No, leave it in there. When I go to sleep and wake up I hear my hamsters wheel moving, so did you ever think it runs at night or while you are gone!
