Throwing droppings out of cage

Question
My hampster seems to find the sport of throwing his droppings out of the cage irresistable.I have a multi level cage and somehow the droppings are thrown up to 2 feet away outside of the cage.  Any suggestions on decreasing this behavior.

Answer

      I have never heard of a hamster doing this before, well at least not throwing them OUT of their cage. Hamsters have their own personalities, and their habbits are not easily broken. They are just like us and do what they want to do. You could try buying a different cage, like an aquarium.

Thanks for writing
