Kaytee Hamster Potty Assorted

Who knew you could potty train a hamster?! Makes weekly cage cleanings so much easier. It didn't take much for me to potty train my hamster either. I just gave him 2 days to familiarize himself with his new home after getting him at my local pet store. Initially, he pooped everywhere! Tubes, bedding, you name it... he pooped it in. After 2 days, I simply put in the Kaytee Potty and removed all his poop from the cage. I added a scoop of his poop to the potty and it was a done deal. He just started using the potty afterwards and continues to do so—I've had him for at least 2 weeks now. I bought this for my Syrian hamster and while he could fit inside the potty and use it, I ended up taking off the top cover as it seemed uncomfortable for him to use—he had to squeeze in just to poop or pee. Because of its size, it's probably best for use with a dwarf hamster. If you have a Syrian hamster (or any non-dwarf hamster), look into Ware Manufacturing Critter Litter Small Pet Training Kit with Handy Guide as its bigger and more suitable for bigger hamsters. The transition was seamless in using the new potty. I just used some of the soiled litter from Kaytee Potty into the new one. One thing about the litter—my hamster likes to eat it! I'm sure it's safe for them, but I hate that he eats it. He doesn't seem to eat the litter included in the Ware Manufacturing Potty so I'm trying to find out if there's a way to purchase that litter.
