I once attempted to clean a part of the cage while Captain Hill was sleeping in another section. Whoops! She woke up and started exploring.
Hamster Tip
When cleaning the hamster cage, especially if you own a habitrail or other cage of modular design, a good place to temporarily place a hamster is the bathtub. Make sure the tub is dry and place a towel in the tub so the hamster isn't sitting on a cold surface. Also, very important, make sure the tub is plugged. You don't want the hamster trying to explore the drain.
If you own other pets make sure they are locked outside of the bathroom. A hamster in a tub is an easy mark for a cat.
