Hamster owners

Have anyone ever seent their hamster move their food? Mine has a running wheel on the top of his cage, and he moves all of his food into that wheel. Maybe he thinks winter is coming.

Anyone else seen this?

Hamsters almost always hoard food. You should remove any you find, since it can very quickly go bad and become poisonous.

Well, it's dry rodent chow, and right now I am watching him sit in his wheel and eat it. Maybe he just want to eat and run. Maybe he likes the view better from the wheel...

The dry stuff goes bad just like everything else, especially if it's humid. Unfortunately it can go bad and the animals will still eat it. Food poisoning from that killed off several of my friend's guinea pigs.

To be safer, never give them food to begin with.

Hmmm... That would eliminate its pooping problem too...

And in the end you won't have to deal with the hamster.

Will this lead to a retelling of the infamous "Gerbil story"?

My last hamster was weird. It kept chewing through the plastic water bottle holder (but not the bottle itself). I replaced the thing twice and in the end, it died.

That hamster and this other I had were smartasses. They managed to somehow climb to the top of their wheel and pushed the lid off. I was woken by something licking or nibbling on my fingertips (my right hand was hanging off the bed). Sadly, I found the other one right outside my door, killed by my dog.

Hmm...I want a hamster now.
