Are you looking to buy or adopt a Syrian hamster? If so, make sure you know all about a hamster’s care including ways to help him exercise. That’s right, even small creatures need to exercise daily just like the big creatures. Most hamsters require exercise on a daily basis. You can encourage your Syrian hamster to exercise while in his cage by buying him an exercise wheel. You can also place toys, tunnels and other vet approved items in his cage to encourage him to move around. If you have time, try your hamster in an exercise ball. This will give him the opportunity to explore the world around him from the safety of the exercise ball. Some owners suggest allowing your hamster playtime in the exercise ball or outside of his cage at least three times a week. Consult with your vet clinic Cy-Fair for additional ways to help your hamster exercise.
