These nocturnal small animals are loners and therefore need more activity options. You can prevent your hamster from getting bored with a multifaceted, species-appropriate toy. Sleeping and eating all day is too dreary in the long run, even for the homeliest of creatures.

The bigger the hamster cage, the better. Play fun on several levels therefore not only provides numerous climbing opportunities, but also maximises the available space in the cage. The different levels can be connected with ladders, bridges and wooden beams. Species-appropriate hamster toys are products that satisfy the animal’s urge to move and its curiosity. Suitable toys include running wheels, tunnels, tubes, mazes and intelligent toys. It is essential for any hamster toy to be made of a natural material such as wood, as they will nibble at anything that comes their way. When buying a wheel, make sure that it is large enough, so that the animal’s spine is protected.

Ideally, the sleeping house should comprise several rooms so that the hamster can retreat during the day. This kind of house is also very similar to the hamster’s den in the wild, which also consists of several chambers. At night, the house invites the hamster to play and explore, and it is also an excellent place to store food.

Hamsters should not be bathed with water due to their sensitivity and tendency to easily fall ill; for their daily coat care, it is preferable to provide them with a bowl of chinchilla sand. During romping and digging activities, the fine grains comb the fur and rid it of excess grease. Furthermore, an intensive sand bath relieves stress in a hamster. A sufficiently large bowl with enough sand is therefore essential for the well-being of your hamster.

Spinning games, pushing games and snack ball challenges are a great way to keep your hamster mentally and physically active. Solid wood hamster toys with a reward effect create lots of variety, plus your hamster can gnaw them to his heart’s content. They clean their teeth when they gnaw, which means that gnawing toys can also prevent dental problems, provided the toys are regularly available. If you fill the toy with treats, your hamster will literally eat out of your hand.

When setting up the cage, you should ensure that the hamster has a variety of species-appropriate toys. Your hamster will only feel completely at ease if it has enough to do at night and can sleep undisturbed during the day.
