Why do my hamsters look up, stand still, and then jump in their tank?

Question

Hi, my hamsters for some reason sometimes looks up, stand still and then jump around the tank cage. I have no idea what that means. I have a 120cm tank cage, and 5 female hamsters over there which is okay with each other (1 mother, 1.3 monthes old female siberian hamsters) .Any information / help ? Thanks Ahead!!

This behavior is not necessarily abnormal. Sometimes hamsters get bursts of energy and they jump/run...etc. Make sure to provide a few wheels for them to run in. You can also get the cages that have tube attachments and will allow them to have more areas to run/climb. You can also have the plastic ball that allows them to run safely on the floor. Please post again if you have any further questions.
