Dora’s thread

[Jain]

She really is beautiful such a lot of character in such a tiny creature

Yes, Dora is very active in the night. Looking at the camera, she is on her wheel for hours at a time I only ever see her emerge late at night and early in the morning.

It's nice she comes out in the morning. It might change over time and she might come out in the afternoons sometimes as well.

What a great update, and love the way she peeking out from under the ramp. That's exciting she's okay with your hand, must be a friendly Robo indeed

Dora is having fun on her new wheel tonight

Hello Dora! Lovely photo. She looks so tiny in her big new wheel!

 

[Maz]

Lovely She really does look tiny in that wheel Has she run in it yet?

 

[Socks' Mum]

I've heard that bigger wheels are safer as they turn more slowly and stay under control more easily

 

[Maz]

I think also they just run in them easier That is a good point though Socks Mum - a larger wheel will have less rotations for the same distance run. The hamster can run just as fast. I'm still trying to get my head round whether or not it would spin more slowly! I would think it would spin at the same speed, but have less rotations due to the size - I might be wrong!

Yes, she’s had a run and seems to love it I have also heard that bigger wheels are safer for them

Hamster physics I hope you find the answer!
