Unhappy Can You Train Hamsters Where To Go Toilet?????

HI, THIS MAY SEEM A VERY STUPID QUESTION BUT I HAVE A ROTASTACK HAMSTER CAGE WITH A BIG SPIRAL TUBE AND MY HAMSTER KEEPS WEEING IN THE BOTTOM OF THE TUBE WHICH IS THEN OBVIOUSLY LEAKING ONTO THE TABLE. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT I CAN DO TO DISCOURAGE FLUFFY FROM USING THE TUBE TO WEE IN. SHE DOESN'T POOP IN IT JUST WEE BUT ITS RATHER UNHYGENIC LEAVING A PUDDLE UNDER THE TUBE ON THE TABLE. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS AT ALL....ANY ADVICE WOULD BE FAB THANKS.

You could try putting little bowl off rodent litter in a small bowl where she normally poos this might encourage her 2 wee there 2 my hamster and rats both do this i didnt need to train them they just did it themselves. u can get rodent litter from most petshops. hope this helps

Yeah they usually come with instructions but I think the idea is to put them in a clean cage and put some of their old poop in the "toilet" area to encourage them to use it.

Yep Charlie has a toilet and my old hamster also had one, put it where they normally wee and they should use it.

Thanks everyone for your advice will definately try it. The petshop didn't give us any advice on the toilet matter at all so any advice given is much appreciated. Fingers crossed it works!!!
