I actually made this for my mice, but I thought it might give someone an idea or 2 for their hamster(s).

I'm adding some more support to the long side and a ledge at the top for some grip.

I have not tried it out yet because I just recently moved them to a new cage, and males are more likely to fight over new toys and be territorial, so it'll probably be a couple weeks before I give it to them.

I gave in and put it in their cage tonight, and so far they are going crazy over it. They haven't really used the sides to climb yet or the long side to go up and down, but they love the egg carton and the basket. I can hear them inside the egg carton chewing and digging. lol. It has only been in there about a half hour.

I'm just hoping it doesn't cause any fights.

*edit* I just saw Buddy use the little ledge I added to climb down the side. lol.

Yeah, I just used non toxic elmer's glue. I was told on the mice forum that as long as it's non toxic it should be fine.
