Mine and Matt's two hamsters (Roborovski) can't stay away from each other when they are separated... LITERALLY.
This happened before but we did it again last night. We put one hammy in the glass aquarium, and the other hammy in the wired cage, because every now and then they fight (not play fight, SQUEEL IN PAIN fight), so we separated a couple times. Well, the other day they stopped fighting like that but last night I heard them again, so that's why I separated them a second time.
Well, last night they were both separated, one in each cage... When I woke up this morning, there I see once again, both hammies are in the same aquarium!! I've looked a few times at the wired cage, to see if ANYTHING is big enough for them to escape from, and I didn't see ANYTHING (mind you, they're both right next to each other - the wired cage is basically cage door OUT, meaning the entrance is not blocked at all, the aquarium is facing toward the back of it). I'm trying to think logically about this, on how the one escaped, but I can't come up with the answer, since I didn't see anything where they could escape from. They were fine together in the wire cage before, neither of them escaped at all and never really tried to, except the few times during the night I heard them trying to chew their way out.
And I'm just thinking, if there is ANY way out of that wire cage, why would the one hammy climb all the way UP the cage, on top of it, and basically JUMP in the aquarium? That's how he would have to do it, honestly.
Any logical answers to this? They are very sneaky little things! But I'm not worried about them escaping and running away, they don't seem to wanna do that.
