if you change the day in to night woudent the hamster think its the night because the light is off and it was all dark right you could train it to be awake in the day . please any suggestions or info

So, you plan on making it dark during the day, and then keeping a light on all night, to change when your hamster is active.
Not sure if it's worth the try. Light or dark, a hamster is going to sleep, when he feels like sleeping. There might be more to it, than whether it's light or dark.
i don't think that would work very well, try gerbils instead, they are awake in the day.
Ok spell check is the first tip. jk. Turning the light off wouldn't do anything you have to play w/ him all day to unnocturnal him or whatev. :P
yes it would work. But you would have to do it forever. They do this with bats in captivity so that the public can view them.
i dont think that would work, my hamster sleeps during the day, hes in my room and its pretty dark. and at night its completely dark, and hes Wide awake all night.
Night or day hamsters sleep i have a Hamster my self his sleeping habits change all the time sometimes he will wake during the day for food or drink most hamsters do that and its not worth the hassle keeping the light on all night and making it dark during the day let alone the effects on the electricity bill
I don't think it would work...for example, have you ever been overseas and experienced jet-lag? Your biological clock thought it was day when it was night, and vice versa. You would have had a hard time adjusting, and so would your hamster. It's also quite inconvenient, because then you couldn't use that room in the day with the light on and you'd have to turn it on all night, which could bother you/your family or even your neighbors. Anyway, can't people sleep with the light on, or stay awake in the dark? I think your hamster wouldn't be affected very much, just confused and possibly stressed.
Your a idiot. That can never happen.
I think you should leave things as they are and let the hamsters have their daily sleep.
it wouldn't work. its just like humans. they feel sleepy during the night and they wake up at day time whether its sunny or dark. so hamsters go to sleep in the night time due to their schedule not by the light that it surrounds
they still pretty much know to sleep in the daytime.
It really is best to leave your hamster to live how it instinctivly would.
If its the noise at night keeping you awake that makes you want you change his sleep pattern, then place his cage in another room at night or invest in ear plugs.
Leave him be. You dont want to upset his routine. It could make him ill or very unhappy.
I'm pretty sure that this little "experiment" would work indeed. Hamsters, as humans, are capable of changing their sleeping schedule. If a person moves from the U.S. to China, night and day change for him, and he may adjust to it. Although it would probably cause an initial sleeping-adapting disorder, it would work. However, you need to keep in mind that night is shorter than day (depending on where you live), so their active time is shorter than their sleeping time. Faking a longer night and a shorter day for the hamster would probably make it sleep also part of the fake night.
