The house has a pitched roof and i am concerned that the little fellow will fall off while asleep and bump his head.
Can anyone advise me on the best way to entice the little chap back into his warm snug house.Advice about my pet hamster please?
Hamsters will sleep wherever they feel comfortable, and usually that is anywhere but in their houses. Don't worry about him falling and bumping his head, he won't do any damage as hamsters are quite tough little animals.Advice about my pet hamster please?
The first thing you can do is check the house.
See if it smells of your hamster and nothing else.
Maybe change the bedding type, Natural vegetable fibre does best.
If neither of these work, I would recommend buying a new house. Not a cage but the house itself. It may be too small or maybe so you can just get a safer type of roof. I hope this helped.

don't worry about it :) hamsters sleep in the weirdest of places and my hamster just totally don't like houses and they sleep in a massive mound of bedding now! :) hamsters can be stubborn, awkward and funny like that. you could take the lid off and just keep it out of the cage, and it might encourage your hamster to go inside the house as it doesn't feel as secluded :) other option: different house with a different roof? possibly a bigger house :) hope i helped x
i would suggest putting lots of shavings and bedding down in the surrounding area so that he will not injure himself if he falls. try some food that smells so that he will come down to see what it is. if you can't do anytibng else then buy him some new toys and use a differnet type of shaving or bedding that way because they are so inquisitive he will want to cme down and see his home to make his mark on it and see his new toys and shavings.
GOOD LUCK!

change the bedding more regularly and see if he's put lot's of food in there. My hamster's bed consists mostly of food he's stored. Put some tasty treats in there, but hamsters are stubborn. My hamster sits on the roof of his house so he can get to his corn lol,good luck x
P.S my hammy prefers the roof off for some reason, maybe this might be useful?
haha unfortunately Hamsters are pretty stubborn, so I doubt you will be able to get him to sleep in the house. The good news is he probably won't get hurt falling off his house. You just have a funny hamster, nothing to worry about.

He'll be ok. Just let him do it. He won't hurt himself. Trust me because when I had a hamster I dropped him like 2 times by ACCIDENT!!! ON THE GROUND!!!! I felt so bad for him. But he wasn't hurt so if your hamster falls off his little house in his cage I'm pretty sure he's going to be ok.
the firts thing you should do is get a plastic house (its ok if they chew) then get a spestial tipe of bedding and stuff it in the house and all around so all you see is the opening so he wont get hurt if he falls
Your hamster will be perfectly fine.
But if this truly bothers you,
you can put the house on the main floor of the cage so he can't fall off and hurt himself.
Good luck!
can youtake throof offi have an igloo for mine soit has adetatchable roof then he willsleepinside unlesshe is toohot use soft bedding not the paper as its not socomforatable for them.
is it a syrian? urs sounds like my hammy she sleeps wherever she can be bothered.
As long as the house isnt too tall all that will happen if he or she falls is they'll just wake up
just let him sleep where he likes. You can't really tell a hamster where to sleep, they are stubborn little monkeys!
my hamster used to climb ontop of his house and then jump off. take the house out and put loads of bedding where he sleeps
