No, that's a bad idea and would create an unhealthy environment for a hamster.

Think about it. A hamster does not come from the jungle or a humid environment like a reptile for example so why would you want to expose him to one? It's unnatural and not species inappropriate.

With a large habitat and deep substrate you hardly ever need to do a cage clean anyway and spot cleaning is usually enough. You can still create a wonderful and natural setup but be careful with plants because hamsters are likely to eat them.

I know what a bioactive tank is but i find it ironic because everyone who keeps hamsters tries their hardest to keep bugs OUT of their habitats, lol.
