I bought a hamster toilet for my hamster, but she doesn't use it. She still goes to the washroom in her nest.Please tell me why she does this.

Answer
hello, hamsters generally pick one spot where they will use the bathroom in. the hamster toilet is made so you can place the toilet in the area that the hamster pees in. If you place anywhere else they generally don't go in the hamster toilet. I've never known a hamster to use the hamster toilet unless it was in the exact same spot they pee in and even then there's no guarantee that they will use it. :-/
