Default Re: Hamster toys and accessories from recycled household items thread

Oooh I like this!
I actually made a freebee toy today using old walnut shells left over from Christmas.

First if you don't have the shells ready then just crack open a few Walnuts and get rid of the insides (eat or feed to your hammies )

Next using a hammer and nail - some of you may need to get an adult to do this bit - hammer the nail into the shell to make a small hole -




Thread a thick piece of string or wool through the hole - Tie a metal washer to the end to stop the shell sliding off!



Thread on as many shells as you can until the string is nearly full. Then tie it to the top of the cage.


Finally add treats inside the shells to encourage your hammie to play with it!


Its a rewarding toy that will stimulate your hammies mind, exercise its body and keep its claws from over growing
