Agreeing with what everyone else has said, I don't think the hanging toys would have much benefit to your hamster. An easy alternative to add more toy is just toilet paper tubes. If your ham is a Syrian though be sure to make a slit down the side so if they are too big for the tube they will not get stuck. I don't think the tubes leading into the houses are necessary. You can also use toilet paper tubes to create treat toys where they have to work to get the treats or food inside.Fold in each end of the tube with some food inside and poke holes in it. The hamster can then try to open either end to get to the food or roll it about so it falls out of the holes. These really stimulate hamsters and can prevent a lot of boredom or stress which leads to negative unwanted behaviours.
