No-De keeps jumping up trying to get to or see the hamsters I have on the entertainment unit. I know its a rattie thing to hunt rodents but for petes sake how do I get him to stop jumping? Ive used the water bottle, hes been scolded, you cant see the hamsters from the floor but he knows theyre there and jumps. Hes got toys and bones and we try to distract him with that but he might play with it for a split second and is back to the hamsters. Short of tieing him to the floor lol what can I do?

Theyre on the entertainment unit, highest place I have for them. But he still does this (minus the rope and the goofy BF's hand of course)

Oh he'll definitely smell them (I can smell rodents in a room so I know they can!) plus he might be able to see them moving around.  That just looks like an accident waiting to happen - the cage, the ceramic santa (?), the prescription bottles (at least that's what they look like) on the shelf....could all come tumbling down.  Maybe Nora will have an answer about teaching him not to jump, it could be that instinct is so strong though that he will always want them.

If you can't move the hamsters then at least don't leave him alone with them.  Sorry, I don't have a better answer.  Well....maybe warm clothes for the hamsters so you could put them in another room???

Can anyone tell me how to get them to stop jumping first thing in the morning as soon as they wake up when you have your good work clothes on?

He cant reach the top of the entertainment unit. Its jsut the fact that he stands there and jumps and jumps and jumps.

The santa is stuffed, and the pill bottles were for Buddy when he broke his knee, but like I said, he cant reach the top.
