Here are a few things to consider before outfitting your cage for loads of healthy hamster fun and rest.

Hamster need a place to hide in their cage for good mental health as well as rest. In the wild, their instinct is to hide from predators, so providing a space or two in the habitat where they can get away will satisfy that natural drive for safety. You can find lots of great enclosed hideaways for your hamsters, the most common being igloo-shaped enclosures or wooden nest boxes that provide the privacy your hamsters need. Choose from a variety of hideouts in chew-friendly materials like wood, twigs, natural grass or chew-resistant plastic. Another popular semi-private hiding spot you can get for your hamsters is a hamster hammock. Just be sure it’s made of hamster-friendly material that doesn’t have loose fabric bits or stuffing your hamster can swallow.

Hamsters also need lots of chewable hamster toys and exercise options like wheels and balls for activity and play in their cages. You can find everything from chewable twigs and colorful dangling toys to balls, play tunnels and more. Make sure to also invest in a sturdy exercise wheel for your hamster, and consider getting him a transparent exercise ball to run around in outside the cage.

Be sure to get enough hideouts and toys to fill both your hamster habitats and playpens with places to rest and play. Remember to put lots of comfy hamster bedding in your hamster enclosures for burrowing and play, and to switch out the toys and activities in your hamster cages periodically to keep your hamster interested.
