About this deal

The clever design of this running disc makes it one of the best activity toys around for small pets. In their natural habitat, hamsters would cover a lot of ground just looking for food, so running is second nature to them. This wheel allows them to run to their heart’s content inside their cage. A practical yet suitably adorable addition to any hamster cage, the Trixie Large Wooden Digging Tower satisfies your little critter's need to dig while you can watch them. There are concerns that a hamster ball may actually cause stress to a hamster due to their eyesight being poor. You may instead wish to look to look for a larger cage or an exercise pen to allow them to explore their environment on their own terms. Digging opportunities: Hamsters love to dig so look to provide a deep layer of sawdust at the bottom of their cage. Providing potting compost is a great option too and you can always consider a digging tower. A wheel is a really valuable bit of cage furniture as they do enjoy running in them,” says Argrave. “But it's really important that the wheel is big enough – most wheels sold for hamsters are too small and can be harmful. Your hamster's spine should be straight when they're on their wheel. If it's curved then the wheel is too small and too much time in it could cause the hamster pain.”

To clean, simply take apart a ball and leave it to soak in warm water with soap or disinfectant. Then rinse thoroughly to remove any cleaning product and make sure to dry fully before it’s next use. Are hamster balls dangerous? Key considerations here are safety. Hamsters do have poor eyesight so ladders with large gaps may present a hazard. A good option are large tunnels that imitate their natural environment in the wild and you may opt for bendy bridges instead. Often made from wood, this is a specific area for a hamster to exercise their love of burrowing. You fill it with sawdust and there's usually a hole at the top for your critter to jump in and enjoy. This is where we come in. We’ve compiled a list of 10 ideas for toys to help keep your hammy entertained. You can’t own a hamster and not know about the hamster exercise wheel. If the hamster cage is in your bedroom, then you know how much your hamster loves running on his wheel all night long! You could invest in an exercise wheel that is designed to be quiet, or if possible, keep the cage anywhere but where you sleep.

Hamster balls are a fun and entertaining way for your pet to exercise but without proper supervision, they can be dangerous. If you're considering what kind of hamster toys your furry friend will appreciate, then there's plenty on the market to choose from. From essential buys to little luxuries, our guide to hamster toys will run through what you need to know about each type. Next, we have hamster tunnels and tubes. These can be simple or elaborate structures that allow your hamster to climb and explore his habitat. You can buy a variety of tubes that snap together and create an expansion to your hamster’s habitat, or you can keep it simple with homemade tunnels made from water bottles or paper towel rolls. Hamster chew toys: Like most small animals, hamsters love to use their teeth so it's important to nurture their natural instincts.

Hamsters need to chew and will spend a lot of time and energy chewing on everything. Hamsters are rodents – the word “rodent” comes from the Latin word “rodere,” which translates to “gnaw.” So, yes, you’ll need to find things for your hamster to gnaw on because their teeth continuously grow.

Many hamster cages come with a wheel already included, but if your hamster doesn’t seem interested in it, or if it doesn’t have a solid surface, you should invest in a new one. You need to be sure to find the right size for your hamster and avoid any wheels with slats or bars, or the hamster might get a paw caught and become seriously injured.
