Just wondering if anyone had some weird and/or wonderful ideas for toys for hammy? She has a new cage extension and i'd like to fill it with some fun things for her She already has an old teabag box that she likes to chew, scratch and generally destroy as well as sit in. A ball, a wheel, a little wooden arch she perches under. But she still seems to get bored and chew the bars early in the morning and scrape sawdust everywhere!
So some homemade entertainment tips would be handy

Yeah pringles are good. Toilet rolls/kitchen towel rolls, etc. Childrens' toy shape sorters...from charity shops! Am not very creative though. xx

I can't fit a whole shoebox in but I cut it in half and put it in, takes about a day to demolish! A small terracota flower pot?

the bisto gravy tubes are good!

I feed my robos millet sprays occasonally to keep them occupied shredding them to eat the seeds.

Not tried it myself, but apparantly cheap tissue boxes with the tissues left in and toilet rolls with some left on are fun to destroy. You could also paperclip up some old flannels, fleecy bits or tea towels to make hammocks - make tiny hole in each corner, feed the paperclip through and attach to cage bars.

Interesting idea! Would that be safe for a hamster, what if they tried to eat it? Could it harm them if they did swallow some material?

Ahhhh Bisto ~ :3

Maybe you can try make a mobile where its loose enough for him/her to knock it down?

I thought that at first, but lots of places sell hammocks and pouches for rodents. Some of mine have some fleecy England flag snuggle pouches P@H were selling off very cheap when England got knocked out the World cup. They do rip the fleece apart to line their nests, but none of them seem to have had any problems with them. Rats seem to enjoy them, was going to try it wil my hamsters, but I'm running out of toy space, they already have igloos, etc handing of their cages.

I tried the bisto gravy tube and the toilet paper tubes and Cinnamon just ignored them! She is a bit of a lazy hammy though. Shes attempted to chew her box but prefers just to eat treats!
