Really like your handmade creations. Maybe cutting the bottom out of the hide made from a tiny friends tube might encourage your hamster to nest in it.
Thank you, that's Enoki! I just got her on Wednesday, but I am deeply in love with her already ♥
Thanks for the tip as well! She has two bottomless hides already, so I made it to try offer another type of option since she didn't seem to want to settle in the other two, and was sleeping in the cage corners and under the wheel, but I think yesterday she finally picked a hide to start nesting in.

Let us not be precious with objects above the pricelessness of innocent lives.
Yes, I made them using a flour mixture!
