Hamsters are naturally active and need to constantly look for food and water to maintain normal life activities. Even at a critical moment, hamsters don't stop to rest. It needs to run hard to get the food and water it needs. Moreover, hamsters have a small range of outdoor activities and need to run more frequently to find food and water. This habit has penetrated into their nature and cannot be changed.
2. Release energy and keep healthy.
If hamsters can't release energy from their bodies, their bodies can't maintain normal operation. Running can help hamsters burn off excess fat, increase cardiopulmonary function, and help maintain the stability of their internal functions. Just as people need exercise to stay healthy, hamsters also need to run to stay healthy.
3. Consumption fanaticism and pressure
Hamsters can consume stress and mania by running. When hamsters feel depressed or nervous, they will start running to release energy in their bodies and emotions in the group. This is one of the reasons why hamsters often run at night, because this is when they are most active.
4. Get more activity space.
Hamsters are smaller and need more space for various activities. Running can help hamsters get more space to move and make them feel comfortable and free. In the pet hamster cage, if the space is too small, the hamster will not be able to fully spread out and walk around. If the hamster doesn't have enough exercise space, it will feel uneasy and nervous, and even have some health problems.
