One night, no wheel... okay?

okay, so I got a new hamster today, and the wheel the cage came with is plastic and cheap and gross, anywho.. it made A LOT of noise when she ran on it, so I took it out, then felt bad and tried to put it back in but I couldn't get it to fit again. Is it okay is she goes one night with no wheel? After work tomorrow I'll buy her a new wheel, is this okay?

im new to hamsters.

there isn't really much she can do in her cage, I mean there's a toy and a ladder, and she loves to climb the wires.

so won't like die on boredom this one night will she?One night, no wheel... okay?The wheel is just there to give her a little more activity, She will be fine.



When you are at the pet store getting your new wheel, see if you can find any fun wooden bird toys (not the kind with string, just wood). You can attach them to the sides and top of the cage to give her more to do.



Tip about rodent wheels: Plastic is better (if its sturdy and big enough). The metal ones can hurt their toes - even to the point of her getting her leg stuck in it and breaking it.



Also, make sure her cage does not have a wire bottom for the same reason (most do, but you can take them out. She should be able to stand right on the bedding)One night, no wheel... okay?
she will be fine, hold her a bit more in the day though because at night she will go sleep and she wont be tired so have a her out a little bit more ok, this happened to me, i had to do the same thing i hate the new ones, i got my friend to grease it for me as she did that with hers but i already got a new wheel:

We provide them wheels to help them get that much needed exercise. She might get a little bored without it, but one night isn't going to harm her.One night, no wheel... okay?
she should be fine for one night. i took my hamsters wheel out for 4 weeks because he stopped using it, i put it back in and he is using it againOne night, no wheel... okay?Yea, she should be ok. My hamster's wheel can get pretty loud at night and sometimes I've removed it.One night, no wheel... okay?
of course! But make sure you give it other toys to play with!
yes your hamster would be fine
