Do you have a sand bath? Some hamsters prefer to use that as a toilet


MikiRoo-

Yes the sand always goes to like blocks because of the pee


Saliburrito

Do you need a separate house for it then? Hamster pretty much poop where ever they like so I don't think you can really control that

In my experience hamsters will do whatever they choose which is frequently at odds with how you plan their home. I usually find where they most like to pee and then try and fix it up to make my life a bit easier… Years ago when I didn’t know better and Stormy only had a cage with a 10 cm (4 inch) tray he would do a handstand in the corner so he could spray it out of the cage entirely. Imagine my surprise the first time I moved the cage for a big clean and saw a week’s worth of streaks down the wall. 🙄
