Last night I put Fuzz into his "hamster playpen" (an underbed box) and he promptly crawled into his hamster ball. So I thought, "why not?" and let him roll. . . . well, I have never seen him do so much in the ball! He was like the Energizer Bunny for about 15 minutes. Amazing.
I call him "Manic Hamster" when he gets like this--every so often he seems more full of energy than usual. Could be that it's residual energy not expended Friday night because his wheel fell over sometime during the night. (I had changed his bedding, which he hates, and while I try to mash the bedding down to make a stable surface in which to embed the wheel, he often screws things up in his effort to re-create his maze of tunnels during the night, tunnels under the wheel, and there it goes. . .)
When he seemed sick of the ball I put him back in the playpen for a while and later put him on the bed to play. Well, he was still manic! He just ran ALL over the place, climbing up onto me and then down, climbing up and wandering all over me, etc. So different than usual--where he does run, but he sits and rests as well (he stretches out like a dog--so funny!), and doesn't do so much climbing. It was fun, though--it was like he was a couple of months old again and just bursting with energy!
Does anybody else have an occasionally "manic" pet?

I guess it didn't go through.
