Hello! I'm an inexperienced hamster owner. I just got my first hamster yesterday, his name is Dango and he is a Winter White Dwarf ( most likely a hybrid. )
He has been running on his wheel at night, which I'm happy to see since I only just brought him home yesterday. ( I am glad he seems somewhat comfortable. ) I have a Furbo camera set up with night-vision so I can watch him on my phone and not disturb him while he's settling in.
I've noticed while he is running on his wheel he kind of flies up a bit sometimes, like he is going to lose control and spin around, but he does stop himself and then he just keeps going.
Is this normal? I've never had a hamster before so I'm not sure. Is his wheel too small? Too big? Could any of his paws be injured? Is there anything I can do to make his running more comfortable? He has a Niteangel 9½ inch wheel. I am posting a gif of him running so you can see what I mean!
