When do hamsters play?

Hamsters are most active at dusk and dawn. This is because they are crepuscular, meaning they are most active during the twilight hours.

However, hamsters can also be active at other times of the day, particularly if they are bored or stimulated by their environment.

Here are some signs that your hamster is playing:

* Running on their wheel: This is their favorite way to get exercise and release energy.

* Exploring their cage: They will often scamper around, sniffing and investigating everything.

* Chewing on toys: This is a natural behavior for hamsters, and it helps to keep their teeth trimmed.

* Burrowing: This is another instinctual behavior that helps them feel safe and secure.

* Playing with you: Some hamsters enjoy being petted or playing with toys that you provide them.

It's important to provide your hamster with a stimulating environment with plenty of toys and enrichment opportunities to encourage play. This will help them stay healthy and happy!
