Question
Every morning when I wake up, I notice turds all over on the floor outside of my hamsters cage? is it possible that he purposley throws them out?

Answer
hi nicole,

the answer to your question is yes and no lol. he may just be digging and the poops fly out, or he's tidying up and throwing them away. its nothing to worry about, just make sure you clean them up and clean his cage weekly.

thanks for your question.
