These small animals require many opportunities for recreation so that they don’t get bored. They are active at night, they love to dig, they fetch supplies, they enjoy sand baths and they have a constant urge to move. A suitable hamster set-up should, therefore, provide various opportunities for play and sleep. Running wheels, climbing houses, rockers, seesaws, swings and play towers will provide the animals with many hours of fun and make it possible to ensure species-appropriate pet care together with a daily exercise programme. Natural materials are particularly suitable for nest-building and they create an authentic environment in which every hamster will feel at home.
