Lazy hamster

Hamsters are supposed to be energetic, but Marshmallow is an exception.  Her daily activities are mainly eating and sleeping.  She seldom runs in the exercise wheel.


Marshmallow was very tiny when we bought her.  After two weeks, she gets 30% bigger.  We believe she should do some more exercise, otherwise it is not difficult to develop obesity within the 1 feet x 1 feet x 1 feet cage.


So when I clean up her cage in every two days, I would put her in our shower room and let her run laps and stretch.


Not sure if she was panicking, she kept passing motion at a corner in the shower room yesterday, it was quite disgusting.  After all, it is a place we take shower.  I worried her but Jeff said she just needed time to get used to the surrounding.  Maybe we should find other better place for Marshmallow to do workout.
