You can design this however you like, with holes to climb in and out of, you can attach multiple box hideaways together with toilet paper tubes, just use your imagination! All I feel I need to say for this is make sure you cut the holes big enough for your buddy to get in and out of, and it is probably best if there is at least 2 exits. You need any box (best if ink free) and some scissors. **you can glue and add as many popsicle sticks as you want to make it longer** Once you get what you like, glue them into place. Lay down the Jumbo popsicle sticks and figure out how far apart you want the spacing for the "rungs". You need 2 large popsicle stick (Jumbo popsicle stick), 6 small popsicle sticks, and non-toxic glue. Make sure you glue it so that it can rock back and forth, like a teeter-totter. Finally, take your toilet paper tube and glue its side to the middle bottom of the cut-out.
Lay them out flat, and use as many steps as you wish. These will then be glued onto the first cardboard cut-out as stairs. Cut out your cardboard shape, and with more cardboard, cut out 1/2 inch to 1 inch rectangles. Your hamster can also use that as a tunnel. Now you can either choose to cut the toilet roll in half or leave it as is. This will make it long enough for dwarfs and bigger hamsters. Make it long enough for at least 2 and a half Syrians. Start off by measuring out a space on your cardboard that is wide enough for your hamster to fit on it. You need a toilet paper tube, cardboard (best if no ink) and pet-safe non-toxic glue.

Stuff the treats inside and let your hamster enjoy chewing it apart! Put one inside the other and then another over those two, continue until you have a cardboard ball. Once you have all the hiding places you want then drop some treats into the holes and watch your hamster have a blast trying to get at the treats!Ĭut the tube into sections about a centimeter long. You can do this several times if you want to experement with different hole sizes. Squeeze the opening of the tube to make a figure eight. Take the toilet paper tube and glue it to the corner of the box so that one side of the tube is completely shut off.Ĭut the tube to the right length and sand the edges. sand any sharp edgesĬut the top off the tissue box and make a door. use glue to make sure the tubes are secure so no falling happens. If you would like to get really fancy then you can extend the maze on top of the cereal box or tissue box making a second-story maze. Stick the ends of the tubes in the openings and fashion the maze the way you would like to Several empty toilet paper tubes or paper towel tubes.Ĭut openings in the cereal or tissue box. (Melody loved this and chewed it to ribbons) You can make a ladder using the popsicle sticks. Take the popsicle sticks and use them to attatch the two boxes. To make a second floor take another box and cut it out. make sure to make a little doorway in between the two so the hamster can get from one room to the other. To make an extra room take the two boxes and glue the sides together. If you want to expand it or make a second floor then take another box and cut it out how you want it. Sand the edges with the sandpaper or nail file to make sure there are no sharp edges. I know that store-bought toys cost a lot (sometimes) and those of us that don't have enough money (me) think "I need more toys for my hamster but I can't get them!" Here is a list of DIY toys that I have either picked up or made myself.įirst take a box and scissors and cut a nice door out.
