Re: Hamster toys
Please don't use a ball, they can be dangerous & stressful for any hamster but all the smaller species are more especially in danger of injury.
For out of cage time use either a large plastic storage bin with substrate & toys or an escape proof playpen of some kind.
Tubes, coconut hides, cork tubes or tunnels are all good for them, you can make a simple toy hideout place to hide food & treats with an egg box just cut a little hole in each end, the wheel & sand bath are the most important things for them, I find my Chinese prefer a more enclosed sand bath, something like a salt pig can work well.
They do make little noises sometimes but not really a sneezing sound, is there anything dusty in the cage, what kind of substrate are you using?
