How often should I clean the wheel?

Chocolat use the wheel as bathroom, I see her pee there and occasionally poo I'm unsure how often should I clean it.

Do I clean it everyday? Will that stress her out?

I wish she would use the bedding as bathroom but :sob: :joy:

I feel like you should clean it whenever you see it. Especially if she runs on the wheel often. It will spread and build up and it shouldn’t stress her out if you wipe it down with a damp paper towel.

Has the hamster got a sand bath in its cage? Usually they will use these as toilets

Unfortunately not yet, I'm just waiting to get my room back before updating the cage

It depends, what kind of wheel is it? If it's wooden and she wees on it you'll definitely have to clean it often. If it's plastic, though, just wiping it when she wees on it should be enough

Plastic! Should I wipe it with baby wipes or just water and paper?
