monitor him on the wheel. onces he's been on a while, get him off and make sure he has an extended period before he's back on it.

ive heard that some people let their hammies have a run on the wheel for so long then they remove the wheel for the night

a hamster doesn't twitch like you've described for no reason or for a nervous disposition. 3 wheels is a little over generous, most hamsters will gladly share a wheel. Sometimes it's also cuter to watch 3 hamsters in a wheel all at once

i thin he may have hiccups

like every time he over exercises


i have tried only one or 2 wheels but cheri is always left out , and if he tries to get on tallulah just runs even faster, its fun to watch but i dont want another poorly hammie.

Ground floor: Toys(ball,loofa,weebel[weebeels wabble but they dont fall down]And seesaw),chews,tunnels,corn,salt lick,treats, sand. and food bowl

Fits in rodents can look like innocent twitching. Also, seizures can look like they're just lying or sitting perfectly still for a little bit. This is true in humans too.

could your hammie be epileptic?

would they react to light like some people with epilepsy? She could maybe try a test then?!

it's not light itself that causes people or animals to fit. It's strobe lighting that usually does it or rapid moving light. Also if someone has been caught of guard (in the dark and you suddenly switch the light on).

There are a few types of epilepsy so it would be difficult to run any tests without a vet present. And alot of vets wouldn't be able to determine it.
