New hamster play/ exercise pen!

[Harriet]

Hello everyone!! I am new to hamstercentral, but joined due to the nature of an A level school project I am going to do...

I have decided to make a hamster play/ exercise pen for use when their main home is being cleaned out or just for fun! It will feature the typical hamster toys such as a wheel and a house, but I will be creating it with the theme of London, so the wheel will be the London eye etc!!

Anyway, I have to do lots of research to find out about cages, and things hamsters like and am required to get a range of people to complete questionnaires. I would be really grateful if as many of you on here as possible could fill out my short questionnaire and either post it as a comment here or send it via a private message. This would be really important and useful for me and I would be extremely grateful for all questionnaire I recieve back.

Thankyou!
