Would it really be that bad for a Hamster though if it closely emulated their natural drier environment? There are plenty of grasses and other plants that can be introduced into the environment to mimic that of what the hamster would live in. Obviously, creating something that is designed for reptiles is bad. If anything, I'd say it'd be worth it to find some documentation online that documents what type of creatures populate the microbiology of the steppes that wild hamsters can still be found in today.

Lots of effort is put forth in replicating natural environments for reptiles and amphibians; I don't see why the same can't be done for hamsters.
