Default More Interesting Cages?

I have two 40 gallon tanks (one for my Chinese, and one for my Syrian).

My Chinese's I'm not super worried about, since I can fit tons of things in there for her. However, I'm worried my Syrian is getting bored. All I have in his cage is a wheel, a house, a cardboard tunnel, and some toys (also a food dish and water bottle, but that's obvious). I don't want his cage to be super cramped, but I also feel like he doesn't have enough things to do.

Does anyone have any ideas of things that I could do to make his cage more interesting? I don't want a bored hammy.

Could you post a photo of the cage? That might help give us some ideas

You could build low platforms for him to climb up on and that would also increase his floor space! Check out the DIY section for some awesome ideas of toys and furniture you can make for him too

Seems obvious, but mine love a nice deep area of bleeding for digging in. Also plenty of wooden things for climbing on.

You can add a hanging coconut. I bought one from the birds section. Hanging chews, seesaw. Platform, sand bath.

Yeah. I tried doing what they said in the FAQ, but nothing happened when I pushed upload.

You can go to TinyPic - Free Image Hosting, Photo Sharing & Video Hosting and resize the picture to 640x480 and upload it. Then copy the forum link.
