Default Re: Free play help

Hamsters love space to around in. Do you have a hall? I put a big pet blanket down, close the doors, put down toys like a spare wheel, tunnels etc that are too big for the cage and a little sand bath my hamsters use if they need a wee.

I have also hamster proofed a room by checking it inch by inch for any holes or cracks in the floor or walls, made sure all electric sockets are turned off and cables out of reach. The room also has a sand bath in a corner.

I have tried the bath tub but they hated it, put up various play pens but they tried to get out after a few minutes of sniffing around or just sat and sulked.

I sit on the floor when a hamster free roams and some like too climb around on me. It's a good and safe environment to interact with a hamster or even to tame a new or timid hamster.
