Question
my syrian hamster doesnt like his ball or chew sticks what should i give him to play with?

Answer
Dear Samantha,

A lot of hamsters are "boring" if they are sad, depressed, or even just old! Try going to petco/petsmart and see what you like for your little guy. Fun cage accessories and treats may make him more fun for you. Some hamsters are just boring, just like some people are boring. If you really don't find him fun, you should consider getting a dwarf hamster, they are much more lively than Syrians!
Sincerely,
Sarah
