Answers:
You can make your own hamster toys or buy some readymade ones that are on the market in petstores. Homemade toys that your hamster will enjoy include :
swinging toilet tube rolls - dangle these and watch your little hamster swing off their new toy like Tarzan (or Jane)
if you are fortunate enough to have an apple tree in the backyard, you can snap off a branch and put it in your hamster cage - your hamster will enjoy using it as a climbing frame and gnawing on the branch - great to keep those incisor teeth in shape!
use a shorter branch from the apple tree and make a trapeze and watch your hamster swing off it!
empty egg cartons make lovely nesting boxes for dwarf hamsters - just cut holes on either side and watch your hamsters burrow into them - great hamster toy!
Try a papertowel roll..
The toilet paper tube is good, and you can make a little maze out of small boxes, like the kind poptarts come in, cut holes in them and then tape them together so the holes open into each other to make a maze, you can untape them every so often and retape them in a different pattern. You can also train it to climb a rope by tying the rope to the top of his cage and then slowly luring him up it with his favorite food. Wooden bird ladders are good too, they aren't household Items, but they can heldp him lose weight from climbing.
Check this out. These are for rats, but I'm sure they'll work for your hammy too! http://www.dapper.com.au/toys.htm...
Hi, to keep my hamster occupied he has his wheel and plenty of tubes. If you want you're hamsters' life to be more interesting try hiding bits of food around the cage. Also, i put strips of toilet paper in the cage for him to take away and build a next with. Just gives them something to do :)
