HOUSING A HAMSTER :: HOMEMADE TOYS
Below you will find some hamster homemade toys ideas for your pet hamster.
Hamster Coconut Homes
To do a hamster coconut home, drain out the liquid out of the coconut by making small holes in it to drain the liquid out. After, then set the coconut down on a table and mark out the place for the entrance of the coconut for the hamster to go in. Drill the 5cm (2 inches) diameter hole where you want the entrance to be. Take out the coconut flesh and eat what you have scooped out! Wash the coconut from the inside and sand the edges of the hole if necessary.
Hamster Wooden Homes
Cut and sand two 12.5 cm (5 inches) pieces of wood and another two 14.5 cm (5.8 inches) pieces. In one of the 12.5 cm (5 inches) pieces, drill a 6 cm (2.5 inches) hole. Drill one or two windows in the 14.5 cm (5.8 inches) pieces using the 2.5 cm (1 inches) drill bit to provide good ventilation. Then, sand all holes. After nail the pieces together and make sure that the tip of the nail doesn't protrude through the wood, as this is could hurt your hamster.
Hamster Maze
Hamster mazes are another hamster favorite. To put one together you can use wrapping paper tubes, shoe boxes, plastic pretzel jars, cereal boxes, short lenghts of PVC tubing, cylindrical oatmeal containers etc. This is a fun project for all hamster owners and will also be a brainteaser for your hamster to have fun in! Put the maze into the play area and watche your hamster go!
Ramps for the hamster cage
Have a piece of wood, sand any rough areas and remove any splinters. Cut some slits 2mm deep for every centimetre along the wood to serve as a grip for your hamster.
Tubes for hamsters
Finished toilet paper roll tubes can be used as tubes for the hamster. Hamsters love to explore tubes.
