Default Re: Are hamsters sensitive to light?

They do like round things to curl up in! charlie will also head for something round Coconut shell houses are popular round things to curl up in too - you could maybe put something like that or a mug even, in a darker part of the cage under the shelf.

I hate to say this but the cage does look quite small - they need a fair bit of floor space and overhead cover in a cage, like a shelf sometimes. A smaller cage can be ok if your hammy free roams or has plenty of out of cage time, but the minimum recommended floorspace size is about 70cm by 40cm for a dwarf hammy x
