Do hamsters call at night? What should I do if my hamster is super noisy at night?

Hamsters are very common in our daily life. They are one of the most popular cute pets because of their cute appearance and easy to raise. But do hamsters call at night? The following editor will explain them one by one, hoping to help you.

Do hamsters bark at night?

Hamsters are nocturnal animals, and they are noisy at night, often running up and down or spinning on running wheels. If a newly bought hamster is not used to the new environment, it may cry at night. If you have multiple hamsters, you must keep them in separate cages, because hamsters often fight at night, making a lot of noise, and in most cases one of them will get hurt. Putting a hamster chew stick in the cage can reduce the hamster from gnawing at the cage, and it will be quieter at night.

Why do hamsters bark in the middle of the night?

1. Hamsters are new to the environment and owners, so we need to give them some time to adapt. During this period, they will bark when you feed or touch them.
2. Hamsters will also cry out when they are sick or hurt themselves.
3. It is the nature of hamsters to bark loudly in self-defense when they encounter natural enemies or threats.
4. Hamsters (especially females) will also call when they are in estrus, but the sound is different from usual.
5. Hamsters will also cry out when they are cold, hungry, thirsty, etc.

What to do if your hamster is super noisy at night

1. Place the hamster cage away from the bedroom at night so that it can get away from its ears.

2. Put more wood shavings in the hamster's cage or storage box to reduce the noise during activities.

3. Install a silent wheel in the hamster's cage or storage box, feed it the right amount of food for its teeth, and put some grinding stones, nuts, apple branches, etc. in it for it to use for grinding its teeth, so that it won't have to hold the cage and make the "crunching" sound when chewing.
