One of our hamsters plus currently two foster hamsters live in the open plan kitchen - lounge area so they're exposed to cooking smells, my OH watching noisy action movies and me dropping things on the tiled floor. I have never noticed any stress behaviours and don't cover their cages.

What they do need is plenty of paperbased substrate to burry themselves in or to close the doors of their houses with. Not sure if they are blocking the cold weather out or us noisy humans. I find that hamsters adapt well to their surroundings as long as their own environment works for them.

A Hamster Heaven works far better without the tubes, penthouse and upper level because you'll have more space to create a more hamster friendly environment.

Have a look on the thread "Let's see your cages".
