Since I just joined this forum, I thought I'd share some hides and things I've made for my hamsters in the past couple years!
This one is a favorite of mine, and also Wirt's (now deceased) very favorite hide. No matter where in the cage I placed it, he would always use it for his nest! He wasn't much a of a chewer, so this house is still in good condition and has been passed down my new hamster, Enoki.
This one was a lot of fun to make, and was made to use in a christmas themed set-up for Wirt a couple years ago. I think I threw it away when I changed the cage back to normal.
These are two paper mache donut hides I made using ErinsAnimals' youtube tutorial! The big one was for Wirt, and the little one for my dwarf, Miko. These got shredded up very quickly but were well-loved by both hamsters while they lasted
This one was made for and is currently in use by Miko! He doesn't nest in it, but he pops in and out of it quite often and sometimes connects it to his underground tunnel systems. I love the look of this one as well
Lastly, here's one I just finished making today! I made it using the packaging tube of Tiny Friends Farm bathing sand. It's for Enoki, since she seems a little confused about where to nest. I was hoping this would be a good option for her and maybe help her feel more secure since these are only her first days in her new home.
