Default How to Make a Hamster Hideout!

How To Make A Hamster Hideout

You will need:
• Roomy box
• Cardboard tube (toilet/kitchen roll)
• Selotape
• Scissors
• Pen/pencil
• White paper
• Glue
• Decoration- pencil crayons, paints, stickers, foam shapes etc



How To Make It:
1. Cut your cardboard tube to about 5cm more than you want it.

2. Tape up box firmly.



3. Mark where you want your tube to be and cut holes for tube, windows and doors.



4. Push tube into hole and tape firmly in position.
5. Cover part or all of your box with paper and glue in place.



6. Decorate your box with anything you like! Eg: foam shapes, pencil crayons, feathers, magazine cuttings, sequins, ribbons etc.







Hamster's Opinion of Finished Hideout!







REMEMBER

This toy is for supervised use only as your hamster could nibble at parts if not watched carefully.

If you want to make your hideout suitable for unsupervised use, or use in the cage, do not use any decoaration or plastic, and only use materials suitable for hamsters (paper/card without ink).

Tips

Personalise your hideout with your hamster’s name!

Try a different hideout with a different shaped box!



Make more hideouts and join them together for a super adventure playground!

~~~~~~

Hope your hamster enjoys their Hamster Hideout!
