Hamster Habitats.
Hamster habitats must be spacious and supplied with plenty of appropriate bedding, and lots of wooden chew toys. Chew toys will help the hamster keep his teeth from becoming too sharp. In the wild, hamsters live in burrows and brushy areas, which have a cooler temperature and higher humidity level. It is important to try to emulate their natural habitat as much as possible.
In native hamster habitats, hamsters have to travel great distances to find food, which explains domestic hamsters' need for lots of exercise. Exercise wheels can provide hamsters with a good bit of activity, but they should not be the only source of physical activity. Add tunnels or toilet paper tubes to the habitat. Hamsters love to chew on these as well as play in them.
Other necessities for hamster habitats include a feeding dish with a constant supply of food and water bottle filled with fresh water. Hamsters also need private places where they can feel secure. Containers like empty oatmeal cans or tissue boxes are good choices for this purpose. Avoid placing soft plastics in your hamster’s living space since they tend to ingest their environment.
