ok so i thought i would test the memory of my 2 hamsters..
1)i would creat a maze and the walls of the maze would b doubled with like an inch between each other...
2)at random parts of my maze i would cut a space between the first wall (the wall that my hammies see..) and i would make a little box outta the walls.
3) its a little confusing but it would be like this...

| |
| | kind like this...each line is the wall...(im sorry its soo confusing..)
and the space where the arrow is there would be a little treat (they like nuts
) and they would be randomly placed around the walls of the maze..
NOW hopefully i explained that well...and what i would do is!
for hamster 1:
go through the maze with treats like 4 times...then i would w8 for 6 hours..and do it again but this time keep the treats where they r but cover them up with like a piece of paper that would be like a door that can still open but hides the treats...
hamster 2:
-do the maze 4 times and then do it the next day and do the door thing and see if the hamster can remember?
is this crazy or wierd....could u post some questions that i could answer to myself as i go through this..r there any other kind of experiments i could do with hamsters that are humane.?
THANK YOU SOO MUCH
