Smile How to Make Your Own Hamsters Toys

I have done two little videos now just showing some of the toys I make for my guys. I think that all these will be second nature to everyone on the forum, as everyone is so creative and makes far better things than me!

But lots of other people dont realise you can make your own, and thought Id do a little tutorial, and I thought that you might like to see? If you wana offer any constructive critism, feel free!

First video:



Second video:


Hope you think they're alright! And sorry that probably you guys will be a bit bored watching them cos you do it all any way!!

These are great! I love the cracker lol


Just a word of warning, you may want to blacken out any brand names that you are not mentioning so the companies don't come after you...

I have always found that they never actually eat the paper, they just nibble it off to get inside. Its only like putting tissue paper bedding in their cages, or toilet roll tubes. I often see the left over nibble sized pieces of paper on the cage floor. Having said that, only put in what you are 100% comfortable with for your hamster.

They're quite cute cheap and simple to make. Nothing too technical and time consuming. Lovely ideas. Thanks for sharing. Sometimes the simplest inventions are the best

I love these videos, as soon as my Ham is a bit tamer and comes out for play time I will be making all of these!

I hope you don't mind but I linked to your videos on my hamster blog on tumblr, the link is Cute Little Hammies.

If you want me to take them down I will do so feel free to PM me

cutehammies: I have seen your two homemade toy videos before, and your ideas are so cool! By the way, I have the things to make the cracker and I know the toilet roll middle is safe, but I'm really confused on wether plain paper would be definitely safe for my hamster.
I know you say your hamster doesn't really eat it, but my hamster might have a different personality and get sick
I have been looking for what other people think but some people say it's bad and some say alright.
When I found you on HC I thought I'd ask you
