Cardboard is a hamster's best friend and ever so versatile. They also enjoy a different type of wheel in their play area like a flying saucer and you can get a 12in version for a Syrian. An empty and cleaned Pringle tube is ideal for a Syrian and you can easily connect individual cardboard boxes with cut plastic bottles but avoid sharp edges by smoothing with sandpaper.
A chewable cardboard maze/run with hidden treats may well appeal to her.
Thank you for the ideas!! yes, I do love making toys out of cardboard for her )
