You can also find lots of hamster toys for cheap prices if you’re on a budget. Here are a few things to consider before adding new toys to your hamster’s habitat.

The best hamster toys will all be chew-proof, since hamsters like to work their teeth out as much as their muscles. You can find toys made of twigs, wood or natural grass that are made for healthy chewing, including a few made of tasty apple wood or timothy hay. All toys should be made of sturdy, non-toxic materials and free of small parts or stuffing that can break free and be swallowed by your hamsters. Activity centers for small animals often feature chewable wood and rope construction, and these can make great pet hamster toys, as well.

Hamster wheels provide an essential outlet for exercise and play and come in many styles and designs to keep your hamster moving. Get a freestanding wheel or one that fastens onto the cage, and look for a solid surface to provide sure footing and reduce the risk of foot injury. Avoid wheels with spindles if you have a longhaired hamster and be sure to choose a wheel that’s large enough for your hamster to avoid spinal stress. Exercise balls can provide a great way to let your hamster run around safely outside the cage. Just be sure to get a large enough ball and always supervise any out-of-cage play closely.

Fill your hamster cages with lots of different activities, incorporating chew toys, hamster hideouts, toys that dispense hamster treats and hamster food and toys you make from safe household items like cardboard tubes, as well. You can also look into hamster playpens to give your hamster extra time out of the cage for play. Chewy has all the hamster supplies you need to make your hamster’s home a stimulating and healthy environment.
